Within a fiercely beautiful, cruel world, three young servants of three deadly witches change each other's lives forever. Alicia Jasinska's lush, darkly romantic The Midnight Girls is the subversive sapphic monster girl fantasy you've been waiting for. -Maya Gittelman, Tor.com In a snow-cloaked kingdom, two wicked rivals secretly compete for the pure heart of a prince, only to discover they might be falling for each other. Karnawal season is a time for mischief and revelry. For the next few weeks, all will be wintry balls, glittery disguises, and nightly torch-lit sleigh-parties. Unbeknownst to the merrymakers, two uninvited girls join the fun. Zosia and Marynka are drawn to each other the moment they meet, until they discover they're rivals, who both have their sights set on the prince's heart. If one consumes a pure heart, she'll gain immeasurable power. Marynka plans to bring the prince's back to her patron in order to prove herself. While Zosia is determined to take his heart and its power for her own. Their ambition turns into a magical contest with both girls vying to keep the prince out of the other's grasp, even as their attraction to one another grows. But their attempts on his life draws the attention of the city that would die for him, and suddenly their escalating rivalry might cost them not just their love for each other, but both their lives.

Incredible sapphic fantasy.

I bought this recently and I am so happy I did. Read a finished copy and it was INCREDIBLE. I loved this so much more than when I first tried to read it. My one complaint is there’s no sequel because I want MORE. I could have read a thousand more pages about Marynka and Zosia but I guess it was nice to have a shorter fantasy stand alone.

Sapphic Cat and Mouse Romantasy

The Midnight Girls was a wonderful journey full of magic, and slow-burn sapphic romance. Marynka and Zosia are dynamic characters, and the wintry backdrop really drew me in. The setting is very descriptive, and you will be transported to the 18th century Poland. I enjoyed that history was woven into this tale. It has some political intrigue. Marynka is a morally grey character, who rivals Zosia, a cautious character. These girls try to one up each other every chance they get. It’s such a great enemy to a lover’s book. This was a wonderful read for pride month. Thank you to the publisher, Alicia Jasinka, and NetGalley for an ARC of this book.

Magic, monsters, and icy nights !

such a delightful tale of magic, monsters, and icy nights. It's reminiscent of Polish folklore, with the two main characters being raised by Jaga's ( witches) and competing for all their lives. They end up vying for the same prince, the same pure heart, for different reasons, and a competition between them ensues. I found it exciting that both girls, while appearing pure , innocent, and lovely, had monstrous sides to them, with accompanying forms. This book is so fluidly written, it is a joy to read, it flows easily throughout the story. The representation of different religions, identifications, preferences, lives, is wonderful to see. LGBTQIA2S, diversity, delightful !
