adventurous dark emotional

I love Slavic folklore so the concept was awesome and the book was paced really well. I do wish Beata's character felt more developed. She kind of felt like an afterthought and it made me kind of just want her to get out of the way.

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.
