My pitch: kind of like Six of Crows, only set in medieval Germany with traditional German fae folk.
My not-so-coherent thoughts: This book!!!! Is probably one of my favorites for this year! I LOVE the demi rep and the characters! Vanja is most definitely not a morally good character, but she is written so well. I bawled about 3/4 of the way through the book and didn’t stop until the end.
I love the German too— I never see any medieval German settings done well in books!
GIVE ME THE NEXT BOOK!

"They’re both demi???? Yesss— I need more demi rep in books!
Also, I love that Emeric doesn’t have to be strong and dumb to be a good love interest— it makes for a much more interesting relationship."

FYI every 'german' word is mispronouced so it is not actually german but a made up language. 😄

I figured it was the difference between Austrian German and High German. Let me know if I was wrong!
I am german 😅 and no its neither real german nor austrian. She literally used words correct like Prinzessin and then again changed ever so slightly all the rest like frohlein instead of Fräulein, glohwein instead of Glühwein. It sometimes feels a bit like she is mocking the language by doing so.

Aber ich weiß es nicht. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
shut up MEDIEVAL GERMANY??? i have this and I did not realize.
Literally how is this anywhere similar to SoC? Just because we are shown a heist or two at the start?
I am currently reading this book and I love Vanja and Emeric 💖
@ annabelle maybe it wasn’t possible to print äöü so she had to adjust the words. but idk, don’t want to offend anybody
YESSS i love this book sm
