Definitely my favorite of the two Brom books I’ve read (the other being The Plucker, a gorgeously illustrated, if somewhat dated, story) and I can’t wait to get my hands on more. Abitha is a perfectly flawed heroine and Samson and his friends are a wonderful blend of folklore. Definitely reads like a story your grandmother would tell you on a long, cold night.
Graphic: Sexism, Violence, and Religious bigotry
Minor: Racism
