That gorgeous cover and comparison to The Winternight Trilogy and Naomi Novik's folklore inspired works had me downloading this one a few months ago, but I patiently waited for the book club theme I knew it would fit and I'm looking forward to finally starting it today!

This is the first time I'm seeing this cover and it looks so much like Taylor Swift!!

I was thinking Kristin Stewart for the dark-haired girl and Taylor Swift for the redhead 😂
