I really enjoyed this read. I walked into the book without knowing what it was about, and was very surprised by the cast of well developed, strong women. I like that the main character is openly Jewish. It was refreshing to not use an allegory for oppression, and to have it painted as it is. As for the fantasy aspects, I really enjoyed all of the mythology. I did feel the book dragged a little in the middle, and some perspectives were entirely needed. But overall a great read. I sort of wish for more romance but I realized that isn’t everyone’s jam.
