The Maiden and Her Monster

Maddie Martinez

Enjoyment: Quality: Characters: Plot:

A sapphic fantasy reimagining the Jewish myth of golem for fans of Katherine Arden, Naomi Novik, and Ava Reid. When a young woman is forced to venture into a cursed forest to capture the monster hunting the girls of her village, she discovers a disgraced golem ready to confess, but only if she agrees to help fulfill an ancient promise first — a bargain that unravels a much more dangerous threat to her people, and forces her to face growing feelings for the very creature she was taught to fear.
