I wish Novik would've stuck with only the 3 POVs of Miryem, Wanda, and Irina. Just to solidify the focus on the female protagonists. Alas, many more POVs were added and it grew into a bit of a mess for me with loss of focus on the mentioned characters' journey.
First half is 4 stars for me.
Second half felt both rushed and drawn out at the same time... I am a little sad by that fact. I wanted so badly to love this.
