The narrative voice stood out as the writing was thoughtful and poetic. However the going back and forth from herself and her 'other form' different chapters was a little jarring. Her character was in-depth and her interactions with other characters felt realistic. The plot itself could have been explored more. for example when the arranged marriage happened it came out of the blue wich made sense, as it came out of the blue for the character, I dont think the author explored the aftermath for a long enough time to have the protagonists feelings resonate with the reader. Furthermore the rape came out of nowhere and again, I wish the aftermath had been explored more text

rivkachava's review
I tried but I literally have nothing positive to say about this book. It has actual mistakes about Jewish practice, all the Hebrew is written in the wrong direction and it just oozes anti-orthodox sentiment that it's borderline antisemitic. The entire Golem plotline is a mess, and the antisemitism and attack on Rebecca are gratuitous and feel like they were just there to serve the "being Jewish is the wrong choice" message.
