I got this from NetGalley, and I thoroughly enjoyed it!
The Midnight Girls was a wonderful journey full of magic, and slow-burn sapphic romance. Marynka and Zosia are dynamic characters, and the wintry backdrop really drew me in. The setting is very descriptive, and you will be transported to the 18th century Poland. I enjoyed that history was woven into this tale. It has some political intrigue.
Marynka is a morally grey character, who rivals Zosia, a cautious character. These girls try to one up each other every chance they get. It’s such a great enemy to a lover’s book. This was a wonderful read for pride month.
Thank you to the publisher, Alicia Jasinka, and NetGalley for an ARC of this book.

Villain x Villain Sapphic romance? Be still my (still beating)heart! This book was amazing! I devoured it like a witch devours a prince's heart. It was the perfect story full of tension, longing, treachery, hatred, and MONSTERS! I LOVED THIS.
An intriguing read about three villainous apprentices who are finding their way and trying to learn more about themselves and their roles in their society and world.

The Midnight Girls is exactly the kind of book that I was in the mood for! An atmospheric, dark, rivals-to-lovers lesbian story!
I was hooked from the very beginning, and I loved all of the characters! This was a fast-paced story that keeps up the momentum and never had me feeling bored!
After finishing this book, I really need to get to Alicia Jasinska's first book, [b:The Dark Tide|52411049|The Dark Tide|Alicia Jasinska|https://i.gr-assets.com/images/S/compressed.photo.goodreads.com/books/1580777187l/52411049._SX50_SY75_.jpg|69845950]!

Thank you to Sourcefire Books and Netgalley for the ARC of this book. All opinions are my own.
Alicia Jasinska has absolutely done it again! I fell in love with The Dark Tide. From the minute I heard about this, I knew I had to have it and it did NOT disappoint! This is easily going to be one of my favorite books of the year. This sapphic enemies to lovers is full of everything I love and crave and it's beyond well done. It's dang near perfection. This was EVERYTHING!
The pining in this is immaculate. The tension between Zosia and Marynka is so compelling and makes this story a hundred times better, which is impressive with how incredible Jasinska's writing is. Her ability to show not tell had me feeling like I was right there in Lechija for Karnawal. The magic Is well developed and I found the concept of getting their magic from their respective Jaga's. The dynamic between Zosia/Midnight, Beata, and Marynka as they try to each get the pure Prince's heart is compelling. The action kept me on the edge of my seat and unable to put this down. Every character that was introduced was well done and fit into the puzzle so well. I think that Jasinska really took it up a notch with this. It was everything I want and need in a YA fantasy.
I wish I could put into words how fantastic this book was and how much I loved it, but they're hard to find. The only thing that continually comes to mind is perfection. Seriously, if you need a YA fantasy, pick this up! It will take you on a journey and make you fall in love with Midnight too!
