An evil fire-breathing “wyrm” (different from the peaceful water dragons) known as “The Nameless One” is gaining strength, leaving everyone increasingly terrified of its return after having been defeated 1,000 years ago. “The Priory of the Orange Tree” is not a book that can be easily summarized, given that it could be smoothly separated into a trilogy. We began “Priory of the Orange Tree” in May, and finished it two, long months later. As a rare reader of fantasy and 800-page books alike, I was apprehensive about their choice however, after making them read Joan Didion’s “Slouching Towards Bethlehem” (which left both of us disappointed and bored), I owed them. One of their picks was “The Priory of the Orange Tree,” an 800-page fantasy that had been trending on BookTok for several months. Over the summer, my friend and I started a bookclub to tackle our individual to-be-read piles.
