We did it boys! This was such a well done story - I didn’t know the tale of The Golem of Prague, and I know that creative liberty was taken with this book, but it was so nice learning about Jewish folklore and the importance of storytelling and questioning interpretations of those tales

This was dark at times, but hope was a persistent theme which shone through (danganronpa who!?)

Wrapped up v nicely (4.75 stars)

Finished part 2 - oh boy!

We finally got a smooch but at what cost divas?

I do like the clock story, but like my poor girl Malka is going through it rabbi, like let the girl breathe before we have a lesson in persistence please I beggg

Honestly wasn’t expecting the death which was handed to me but damn

I had thought the clock would be important cos it was made from the forest but maybe it’s just about racism

Off to a good start to the morning - a wedding and a skinning 🥰

The sexual tension in this confession booth is PALPABLE like divas just KISS IM BEGGING 🙏

Ok, but like whats gayer? Binding yourself to a the golem you “hate” or dreaming about her killing the guy who keeps proposing to you before making out??

Also, “do you like me better like this - clean and smelling of roses? Or like I was, slick with blood from the wound you gave me?” Ms Martinez you SPOIL ME

Also also, not Nimrah flirting using folklore references cos they’re fucking nerds omFG

Oh to have gone from a monster romance where we were following the monster to a monster romance where we are following the monster fucker 🥰

Part 1 has started us off well! I’m enjoying this family dynamic and I love a cursed forest and I love a cheeky bit of gore

Malka is my babygirl and I will pull an Edelgard on this fucking church if she but mentioned offhandedly it’d make her day a tiniest bit better
