I can't put this down, to my detriment i think. After a somewhat more bland fantasy, Novik's world is RICH with details rooted in Russian and Jewish tradition. The PoV women are wonderful and seeing each class of woman and her struggles under the expectations of her society feels so good.
Also I usually *hate* the culture mismatch between a fae and human being a plot point but its actually done so fun here.

Novik knows fairytales. Maybe I've been too embroiled in the romantasy mines but this is so refreshing and well done. I think I prefer my beastly husbands out-witted rather than tamed.
The amount of this book that is the couples being absolutely mortified to sleep with each other has given me culture shock.
