This book has a lot going for it, including the cover, the fantasy fused with Jewish folklore and mythology, and the two more forefront characters Hannah and Gabe. but it did fall flat after that and because of a lack of depth with other characters, the book felt a bit one dimensional whereas it had the potential to go a lot deeper and cover a lot more. So, while I liked it a lot, it wasn't without its flaws (maybe I went in wanting too much? Guilty!)
I love how magical and wonderful the book is. Not to mention, I appreciate an amazing sapphic romance and this novel did not disappoint me one bit. I wish the book was longer or had a series, but otherwise I'm sold on the author's writing. Cannot wait to read more from Rebecca.
