I have had this book on my list for a while because it's based on Jewish folklore, but I kept putting it off cus I'm not huge on fantasy, I'm so glad I finally read it!

The Pomegranate Gate is probably one of the most Jewish books I've read which I loved! The story was super interesting. At the beginning I was having a hard time getting into it but I'd say around the 30% mark is when I started being super intrigued and reading a lot faster.

I've always been a fan of fae folklore so a book from a Jewish perspective that incorporates a lot of the same things worked super well for me! I'm excited to read the sequel which I've already been approved for on netgalley, thank goodness because I don't think I could wait until October.
