“A Day of Fallen Night” may take place in the same world as “The Priory of the Orange Tree,” but it stands by itself. “A Day of Fallen Night” sometimes struggles with the magnitude of its scope, but above all it is a striking, women-led addition to the world of modern epic fantasy. Yet they are united through their devotion to their loved ones and quests to hunt down the demonic wyrms which threaten their world. “A Day of Fallen Night,” a striking standalone prequel to “Priory,” interweaves the stories of three women - Tunuva, Glorian, and Dumai - from three wildly different fantastical cultures. In her newest novel, “A Day of Fallen Night,” Shannon has yet again invited us to eat of the not-so-forbidden magic fruit. Samantha Shannon’s best-selling novel “The Priory of the Orange Tree” brought readers into a world where magic lies hidden in the fruit of the earth.
