3.25
Despite my average rating I did quite enjoy a good portion of this book. However, I do really wish we were able to see more of Zosia and Marynka relationship as lovers. This is rivals to lovers but most of the book is focused on their rivalry or really Marynka one sided rivalry against Zosia lol! I do think it’s funny that Zosia didn’t care for the rivalry until half way through the book. I’m going to keep my rating at 3.25 ⭐️ for now, I may change it later.

I really liked the concept of this book, but I felt like it was either continually moving too slow or too fast. I didn’t like that they ended up going after hearts in the end even though they kept saying they only did it to get out of their situation. There could’ve been another way to keep the competitive spark alive
Love the queer representation, but if I’m being honest that’s the best part about this story. If it was a bunch of straight people, I wouldn’t have gotten through the book.
Overall love the concept and representation, but wasn’t the biggest fan of the storyline

This book was very fun. I love these monster girls and their unique powers. I love enemies-to-wait-what-is-this-feeling-so-sudden-and-new.
I sort of wanted a proper reunion at the end, but I suppose it tracks. I also think the book is mistitled but that's okay.

I really enjoyed The Midnight Girls and am bummed that it is only a standalone because I want more of these characters! There was so much to love: the dynamics of the three witches, the rivalry (turned to lovers...), the historical Polish backdrop, and the magic. Personally, I felt this read a little on the younger YA side - everything from the rivalry and romance to the politics was a little on the surface side of things, so the reason it isn't a 5 star rating for me is that I wish those things had a bit more depth to them.

Romance is best part of this book and there is plenty of that because plot isn't much. Overall entertaining read.

The plot feels a little contrived but the characters are lovable. Also everyone is gay 🌈.
