Thanks to Tor Dot Com for the free copy of this book.

 - I adore Amal El-Mohtar’s writing. Her prose is poetic and all encompassing, able to build a lush world in under 200 pages.
- This little story is compact but still quite forceful. I found myself drawn in quickly, even these days when concentrating on reading is hard for me.
- Not only is the world of the story great, but so are our main characters. I loved Esther and Ysabel’s complicated sisterhood.
