I always enjoy the folklore in Sacha Lamb's books, but I'm thinking that their writing style just isn't for me. This book had a good hook, but a lot of the important stuff doesn't happen until too close to the end of the story. It made the pacing feel off, and took me out of the story a bit. Definitely recommend if you're interested in Jewish folklore, though!
