Tané, and the star that was inside her.

Tané 🐉

[fallenight]

the priory of the orange tree and a day of fallen night are so perfect bc you have povs of many strong, amazing, interesting and complex women and then you have that one pov of some pathetic little guy who is miserable 24/7 😭

[wlrsna]

the beauty of aroaces characters that have SO MUCH love, that irradiates care on they own special way, that love the people around them SO SO SO MUCH that they can't barely say a word about it-

[spec-squared]

just finished reading The Priory of the Orange Tree. here are my thoughts:

Roos is so fucking pathetic like wow holy shit

i still don't really like Sabran all that much, but that's okay because not all characters have to be likeable (exhibit a: roos). she reminds me of my sister a little bit in that she is super cunty.

i feel like Ead is a little too overpowered but wtv

Tané is definitely my favorite. idk why but I always imagine her looking like Janice Lee lol.

i hc Loth as being aro/ace

Kitston Glade deserved better

Susa DEFINITELY deserved better, fucking OW

Roos is like, the epitome of sopping wet rat man

i will forever be mad at the editors who told Samantha Shannon to shorten the final battle

Nayimathun is a boss ass bitch and ily her vm

kinda weird of Aleidine that the first thing she does upon seeing her deceased husband's secret bf is to go "so there's this cute astronomy professor you might like..." but go off i guess

Meg is great and her husband/fiancé has a sickass scar on his face, I'm so happy for them

Kalyba is just. So Much. like there's a lot there.

Chassar is sweet and i fucking LOVE Aralaq

Niclays Roos is the pettiest, most miserable motherfucker on the planet, and i adore him.

overall I'd give it a 9/10

When history fails to shed light on the truth, myth creates its own.

Eadaz "Ead" du Zala uq-Nāra, Sabran Berethnet and Miduchi Tané from The Priory of the Orange Tree by Samantha Shannon.

i had the wonderful opportunity to visit @sshannonauthor at kinokuniya sydney on the 19th, and it was such a lovely and inspiring time to hear exactly how the world of priory was created and why things existed in it!

to anyone looking for a queer feminist retelling (of st. george and the dragon) with IMMENSELY engaging worldbuilding and characters, i do highly recommend priory!

She’s just like me fr

[tragedykery]

no you don’t get it. tané is literally so brave and strong and proud and loyal and hard-working, all to her own detriment. her and susa’s relationship was born from and ended in tragedy. she loves so deeply and she always ends up getting hurt because of it. she’s an outcast who fought her way to the top. she fulfilled her ambitions, got everything she had ever dreamt of, only to end up losing everything. she was both destined for greatness and chose and shaped her own destiny. she’s so strong and good and flawed and so, so human and I am so, so, so normal about her

[polyphonial]

oohhh for the drawing suggestions mayhaps something roots of chaos series? 👀

haii you get two cause you're epic 🫶🫶

[ID: two coloured digital bust drawings of characters from The Priory of the Orange Tree. The first shows Eadaz du Zāla uq-Nāra, a thin black woman with dark brown skin, eyes and coily hair in a low ponytail. She smiles gently, looking to the left, a small white flower behind her ear. There is an peach circle with a flowering branch on it behind her.

The second shows Tané Miduchi, a stocky asian woman with light brown skin and black hair and eyes. Her hair is pulled into a tight top knot and she wears teal clothes. She has a fish-hook shaped scar on her cheek and looks to the right neutrally. Text next to her reads: "Nayimathum r u seeing this shit". End ID.]

[firstsqualler]

how is Tané still thinking they’re not going to let her be a miduchi again at the end of Priory. girl you literally killed Satan

[bookofvanishingmemories]

Samantha Shannon give your dragon rider a happy ending challenge: level impossible

[fallenight]

something something about emotionally repressed dragon riders who have such a big heart despite the fact that they have suffered so much and their unbreakable bond with their dragons 🫶

[lunarthecorvus]

Just finished reading The Priory of the Orange Tree and it was amazing. The way it was written was so beautiful and after realising what was happening I was hooked (I will admit it took me like 200 pages in to get really into it but it was worth itt).

I was already falling in love with Tané then I found out she was aroace (via the wiki) AND AHHH another aroace icon. I adoreee Ead as well as so many other characterss

Now onto the next book in the series ~A Day of Fallen Night~

[enchantra35]

No, because both Tané and Loth being CANONICALLY on the ace spectrum is so special to me. Thank you Samatha Shannon, from the bottom of my heart.

[randombookposts]

Niclays @ Tane: You smuggled a person to hide the fact you broke seclusion!! You put your own ambition over the law!

Me: Wow, god forbid women do anything

[theartisttoyourmuse]

There's something about all the women in The Priory of the Orange Tree losing everything they'd dreamt of that resonates so deep in my heart
