"A dark and endlessly enchanting fairy tale.... I adored every page."-#1 New York Times bestselling author Ava Reid
An instant USA Today bestseller!
Most Anticipated at Goodreads | Medium | LGBTQReads | Reactor | and more!
The Maiden and Her Monster is a gorgeous, atmospheric debut fantasy rooted in history, folklore, and sapphic romance-perfect for fans of Katherine Arden, Ava Reid, Hannah Whitten, and Naomi Novik.
The forest eats the girls who wander out after dark.
As the healer's daughter, Malka has seen how the wood's curse has plagued her village, but the Ozmini Church only comes to collect its tithe, not to protect heretics with false stories of monsters in the trees. So when a clergy girl wanders too close to the forest and Malka's mother is accused of her murder, Malka strikes an impossible bargain with a zealot Ozmini priest. If she brings the monster out, he will spare her mother from execution.
When she ventures into the shadowed woods, Malka finds a monster, though not the one she expects: an inscrutable, disgraced golem who agrees to implicate herself, but only if Malka helps her fulfill a promise first and free the imprisoned rabbi who created her.
But a deal easily made is not easily kept. And as their bargain begins to unravel a much more sinister threat, protecting her people may force Malka to endanger the one person she left home to save-and face her growing feelings for the very creature she was taught to fear.

"The forest eats the girls who wander out after dark." Yes, but only for the first third of the book
The folklore aspects were really beautiful and fascinating, and the religious struggles were full of anguish and did not shy away from showing the dark side of a corrupt system, which only heightened upon reading the author's note and seeing all the historic influences. But oh my, was the plot all over the place! It goes from a murder mystery to a political heist and finally adds a very sudden romance, for which I just couldn't care less. Where was the yearning? Where was the subtlety? The desperation? The characters' emotions were barely noticeable on the page, which really baffled me, because the writing style was so lush and poetic! The main character, Malka, is naive, very stuck in her thinking, and sometimes just outright cruel to the golem, so it felt a bit jarring to turn the page and suddenly see them both supposedly in love with each other. Every new realization was told through stories and folklore, which made the pacing feel slow and heavy-handed. I think a bit more editing and slightly different marketing would have helped this book to really find its footing.
