Trigger warnings: Near-death experiences
7/10, this was such a fantastic immersive fantasy novel that shows what Australian writers are truly capable of, unlike the last Australian book that I read. The three main characters were distinct yet similar to one another since they are all witches but have different powers which I liked and I also enjoyed the fact that there weren't any protagonists in this book, usually this is a bad sign but the book more than compensated for that with a brutal competition between two antagonist witches to see who can get the prince's heart and eat it first. This contest stretched throughout most of the book and I enjoyed every single part of it since I was just so immersed in the world building which sometimes is an underutilised aspect of a book but this one uses it to its fullest potential. Towards the second half of the book, the battle reaches its dramatic and unexpected climax when the witches take the contest too far which ends up almost killing them, they do heal eventually but have a great realisation that they are just tools being used by their masters so they broke free of them and the witches even experienced character development since they no longer hated each other and they decided to be allies with themselves. If you like an action-packed standalone fantasy book this one is for you; it's such a shame that it's so obscure, more people should read this.… (altro)

An interesting story. The idea was interesting, but the vagueness of all the details made this feel more like a fae story than anything else. I would have liked more details about how the magic and the girl's monster sides worked. But I liked the enemies to lovers trope here, and you could really feel the sense of yearning and want here. Definitely one that I will suggestion on to others, especially those that liked "This is how you lose the time war" and "Wilder Girls"
A richly imagined setting inspired by Polish history and Eastern European mythology serves as an amazing backdrop to this YA enemies to lovers Sapphic fantasy novel. This is definitely something different and a great read with some truly unique flavor.
