5.0

It has everything I wanted to read for the past few months– fairytale elements, evil cop-killing crop-poisoning forest, real dirty grungy heroines, homoerotic bestfriendship between two women that isn't fraught due to another guy, mothers both young and old, wizards in towers, wizards who fuck, wizards who don't fuck but do fuck around, wizards who found out, princes who are stupidly arrogant
and dead
, princes who are noble
and dead
, multiple nuanced queens, magic rivers that end nowhere, baba yaga's footnotes, rotten fruit you can't help but eat,
extra large praying mantises
, the first forays into video calling technology, the indescribable power of people never leaving their homes despite danger and the threat to life, and
rehabilitation after great environmental disasters.


10/10 would recommend and read other of Naomi Novik's works honestly
