Even mothers who mean well can do harm and on the opposite end of the scale, motherhood can also be used in toxic ways to 'own' a child. I think the plot, especially for a nearly 900 page book, does drag at times, despite each chapter giving us some additional piece of the overall puzzle.

Love, pregnancy, greed, ambition, betrayal, survival, war, dragons, magic, grief, chaos and adventure is what you get from ‘A Day of Fallen Night’.

As in Priory, Shannon excels at creating a strong cast of female characters with excellent queer representation.Most purchases from business sellers are protected by the Consumer Contract Regulations 2013 which give you the right to cancel the purchase within 14 days after the day you receive the item. All of which is to say that motherhood and childbearing and the different ways people feel about them are a STRONG theme across this book that's explored so well I still think about it all the time.
