Strongly recommend for anyone into more lighter fantasy books. This was really easy to read, and there was even a page telling you how their names were pronounced. It was lovely. The Polish history sprinkled in through the story was done so well and worked surprisingly well with the rest of the plot. With the romance there was such good tension between the rivals and soon blended into yearning and the realization that they might have been after each other’s heart. It was so good!!

It's no secret that I LOVE books with dark fairytale princesses-who-will-kill-you vibes, so I already knew The Midnight Girls was going to be a big hit with me. The book follows two rivals, Zosia and Marynka, who are in competition for a prince's heart. But not in an affectionate lovey-dovey fall-for-me way; they are literally competing to see who can rip out his heart first to bring it back for their jaga (witch grandmother) to eat. And then they slowly start to fall for each other. While growing their magic. At a winter festival. I am HERE FOR IT!!!!!!

The ending is GORGEOUS and open-ended in a poetic way, the snowy atmospheric setting is delightful, and the representation throughout is fantastic. I wish the title was different (only one of the girls is named Midnight) and I wanted more exploration of the prince's side of the story (especially with Kajeta!), but overall this is my first 5-star book of the year.

I'm so thankful to Aly for the physical advanced readers copy and Alicia Jasinska for writing such a delightful fantasy standalone (which the world needs more of).
