A bit slow at first, but eventually finds a rhythm. I didn't enjoy this book as much as the first, probably because it felt like the characters (although connected from book 1) were seemingly out in the world living their lives until the end when everything comes together.

A worthy follow-up to The Golem and the Jinni, this enthralling novel continues the story of its two protagonists and the humans (and not-humans) who become part of their stories.

Oh, this was so beautiful. I loved seeing the expansion of the world of the first book.
