I read another very different Jewish fantasy set during the Spanish Inquisition.  “The Pomegranate Gate” by Ariel Kaplan dives deep into Jewish folklore and Sephardi history.  It takes place half in the “real” world and half in the world of Mazikkin - spirits.  It has cranky old women, a queer tailor who can’t see a straight line, and a brilliant and willful half Mazik girl who creates her own twin.  It’s fun and adventurous and I look forward to the sequel.  #book
