Really enjoyed this one! As always Ava Reid makes her FMC strong and admirable but also she sure makes them suffer which did make this book a bit daunting for me. However it paid off. This is a complex world with lots of lore and legends and magic that was very well spelled out. The relationships are complex and grow beautifully. The characters are multi faceted - while some are so obviously bad or so obviously good there are many that are more morally grey and complicated. And of course I’m a sucker for a good love story so I liked the slow build of Gaspar and Evike’s relationship.

The ending was left a little open with with respect to their relationship going forward which bummed me out a bit, I was really hoping they would be solidly together.

overall fantastic book!

Things I liked:

• The world building/lord
• Actual enemies to lovers
• The prose

Things I didn’t:

• Very gory imo - my fault for not checking CWs first though
• A lot of info dumping (at least the info was interesting)
• To me, the pacing was odd

Overall I enjoyed it for something that is quite out of my typical wheelhouse.

saphfics's review against another edition

I didn't care for the romance. moreover I still don't really care about anything plotwise or about the characters. 

However if you really loved six of crows' Mathias and Nina and just the world in general. I think you would enjoy this book more

The pacing was a bit all over the place for me. There were moments I really enjoyed, but a vast majority of the middle of the story dragged on for me.

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.
