This was a really good fantasy debut from Ava Reid. A story about religion, tradition, and identity with a slow burn enemies-to-lovers romance steeped in history and Jewish mythology. Reid's writing is more grounded here than A Study in Drowning (my first work by them), so I would recommend this book to non-flowery writing fantasy readers. I got lost a little bit towards the end, but more of a me-problem than a book-problem in my honest opinion. Nonetheless, I am glad I read this book.

I don’t know that Meh, is truly a review…

Other people are talking about the Hungarian history and Jewish folklore, which I guess was an interesting spin that I didn’t expect going into the story. The characters go over the story of Esther (yes, from the Bible) for a hot minute and Evike (MFC) feels like her father is calling for to be like Esther and use the story to give her insight into how to save an entire kingdom of people. So… I guess it depends on how you feel about Esther’s story. This added copious amounts of gory, self mutilation, and magic.

I liked the fact this is a sort of reimagining?/interpretation of Jewish myth/folklore, but I didn't love the story overall. There were some good parts to it, but it didn't hold my interest like I was hoping for. 
Not sure if this author just isn't for me as this is my second book from them.
