*gifted arc* Any book with this amount of intense sapphic yearning is bound to get five stars from me. Lorelei is my new crush and I will carry her with me for all of my days. I LOVE black cat/golden retriever vibes holy shit. The magic system and creatures are so fucking cool and you don’t have to super understand the intricacies to have a good time with it. The whodunnit mystery aspect kept things going at an entertaining pace. The elements based on Jewish experience and folklore were gorgeous and the politics kept my interest. What a good fucking time!!!
