This was disappointing, considering how great the other two Priory books are. Samantha Shannon might not be cut out for the shorter format. When books are this short I expect every page to pack a punch and for it to have a defined goal. This did neither of those things. Rather, it was like a full-length novel packed into a quarter of the pages, with a quarter of the impact. It’s still worth the read if you loved Priory because it adds some context to what’s going on at that time, but is definitely the weakest of the bunch.
