setState in useEffect loops the application

Why am I getting infinite loop error? React refers to the line marked with *:

function Blog() {
    const [blog, setBlog] = useState({});
    const query = useQuery();

    async function takeBlog(query) {
        const _data = await (await fetch(`${root}/api/blog/${query}`)).json();
        console.log(_data.blog)
        setBlog(_.get(_data, 'blog', {}));  // *
    }

    useEffect(() => {
        takeBlog(query);
    }, []);

    return (
        <div className="blog_page">
            <div className="container">
                <div className="top">
                </div>
                <div className="other ab">
                    <div className="left">
                        <Navbar active='blogs' />
                    </div>
                    <div className="right">
                        <Posts posts={_.get(blog, 'articles', [])} />
                    </div>
                </div>
            </div>
        </div>
    );
}

export default Blog;
