icarussfalls 's review for:
The Blue Maiden
by Anna Nóyes
Firstly, thank you to NetGalley for the opportunity to read this arc.
I went into this expecting witch hunts and a fight between church and lore honestly and maybe that was my mistake. I felt like I was confused the whole time, lost in the haze and confusion much as Beata seemed to be. It gave Midsommar without drugs and violence yet all the confusion was there.
I did enjoy the lilting melody of the storytelling. It was very lyrical and whimsical. I personally struggle with books such as this as so much is left to the imagination and unspoken narrative.
And the ending — it didn’t seem like an ending at all. So much was left unspoken and an intense moment started and then it ended right in the middle. What does it mean? Where do we go from here? I don’t know and I don’t feel like I’ll ever know.
