Amazing how much reading you can get through on Yom tov when your kid refuses to go to shul for hakafot.
Laini Taylor is definitely a good comp for this book - especially her own earlier work. Summers does a nice job with playing out the magical world and the movement through it, although sometimes this book feels a bit short on logistics and long on the wanting.
It was good and also the most forgettable of all the books I read this weekend. Which is totally fine, not every book needs to live with you forever and I absolutely enjoyed my time with this one. But it definitely ended when it ended.
