Two books in a row I loved?  What is even happening??

I loved the different women solving relationship problems in different ways.  The Eastern European setting was interesting (and cold!  Even though I read it in August!), and the whole moneylender thing was new to me.  I am not usually into fantasy with elves, but I really did like this.  Kept me up too late for sure.

davidmiralles's review against another edition

DID NOT FINISH

Un cuento de hadas demasiado largo. Descripciones y situaciones innecesarias y aburridas. Casualidades absurdas sin ninguna justificación.

Un libro donde todos los personajes femeninos tienen una relación de comunidad nada más cruzar una par de frases. Donde todos los personajes masculinos son mayoritariamente malos, pero malos con ganas, y simplemente porque sí. Y si no son malos, son tan secundarios e irrelevantes que son igual de detestables.

Una novela totalmente prescindible que había cogido con mucha ilusión y que dejo abandonada por desesperación.

An interesting new spin on a familiar tale, I really enjoyed this book! The characters were compelling and the story was great.
