I’m not attending Worldcon this year & everything seems to be a mess but this is so mind-bendingly bad on so many levels that I think it’s worth unpacking while I’m in the no-space of airports

Just finished reading @maddiesmartinez.bsky.social's THE MAIDEN AND HER MONSTER. I enjoyed learning more about Jewish mysticism through her well-crafted fantastical novel. The sapphic romance too was *chef's kiss.* 🤎

THE MAIDEN AND HER MONSTER by @maddiesmartinez.bsky.social I've been excited for this book ever since seeing the pitches online! I can't wait for this fantasy reimagining of Jewish folklore and I know the prose will be exquisite!!
