The Priory of the Orange Tree

I was looking for a great standalone epic fantasy novel, and I found it! But by the end, I wished it had honestly been a series - the pacing felt very rushed in the last quarter of the book, and I wish I had gotten to see more of Tane' in general. I also didn't particularly care for Roos and found his redemption arc to feel kind of sudden? But I really loved the world, and the story, and the romance! I especially loved that Ead and Sabran didn't abandon their callings in life for each other in the end; it was bittersweet, but it felt right.
