The Midnight Girls by Alicia Jasinska
5.0
Read for Review
Set to the tune of a unique dark Polish folktale, this fantasy novel is fast paced, an easy page turner. Told from the perspective's of the two servants, Marynka and Zosia, both who are strong female main characters, the story moves smoothly and quickly. With an undercurrent of a female-female romance, filled with friendships and fraught relationships, this is a great read. The banter between the main characters is enjoyable, while the developing relationships feel natural. Essentially a villain versus villain romance, where readers are rooting for the pair to find a way to overcome their circumstances. With a touch of horror throughout the novel with the use of dark magic, 'The Midnight Girls' is a true dark fantasy.
Themes : Fantasy; Magic; Monsters; Enemies; War; LGBTQIA+; Power; Feminism; Romance
A rare five stars because I enjoyed it, read it very quickly because of how engaging it was.
