when I started reading this book, I was confused what time period this was set in. The magic system and talk of fairytales screamed medieval times or some fictional fantasy city similar to Reino del sol in The Sunbearer trials. A quick google search reveals it’s actually set in 1920’s New York. No. I refuse. Urban fantasy in a present or futuristic timeline? Yes! But UF in the recent years? No.

All the Holtzfalls are assholes but at least Nora acknowledges it. also is this supposed to be a fantasy version of Germany?
