Oh gee, well I forgot to write a review of this when I finished, so here we are at month's end...
I remember not loving this, but liking it pretty well enough? and feeling like maybe I wanted it to be a tad longer? I think if the book was longer we could've gotten a bit more in depth with the themes. I did learn a bit about Jewish history which was cool. And there's a classic Leigh Bardugo sad boy™ character so there's that!
