There was a lot of potential, but it wasn't executed well. I think the book needed to be longer to maximize the character development. Everything felt so rushed and there wasn't that much romance. The world building was really interesting to me though and I wish it was expanded on.

Thanks to Netgalley for this ARC.
I always love folklore / mythology retellings and when i found out this was also queer, i was all in.
This book is dual pov and the main characters are witch's apprentices for two out of the three witches of Lechija.
The witches are called White Yaga, Red Yaga and Black Yaga and have jurisdiction over Morning, Midday and Midnight respectively.
Each has an 'apprentice' to do their bidding and gather hearts for them to consume.
However, a rivalry that has been going on for years between Marynka (Midday's servant) and Zosia (Midnight's servant) will be put to the test when the two are once again sent out to capture a heart.
Marynka & Beata (Morning's servant) end up accidentally travelling with Zosia (as they don't know who the other is). Marynka & Zosia become very close very quickly. But their fast friendship is put to the test when their identities are revealed.
I absolutely loved Marynka and Zosia, they were both morally grey and didn't apologise for it. One wants power and one wants freedom but ultimately what they want is the same thing.
I really enjoyed the story but i felt it ended a bit abruptly and really would've liked to see more of Marynka and Zosia after the events of the book.
CW: death, blood, murder, child abuse, injury, self harm, war

I just could not convince myself to finish this and maybe one day I’ll get the motivation to actually do it. It’s just really hard when I don’t care about the characters. I don’t have any kind of strong emotions when it comes to this story so it’s hard for me to even finish it out of spite. I don’t even really care about the side characters like I do in other books that I don’t love or hate.
