A review by dragonrider29
The Hidden Palace by Helene Wecker

5.0

I adored 'The Golem and the Djinni' when it was published and have waited (im)patiently for a sequel and Ms Wecker did not disappoint. This an immersive novel, picking up where the last one left off, and quickly drawing us back into Ahmad and Chava's world. We are reunited with beloved characters and introduced to fabulous new ones (Toby was my favourite) as they all face a changing and evolving world. These books beautifully and seamlessly blend historical fiction with mythology and magic to create enthralling and engaging novels whose characters creep into your heart and make themselves at home. I cannot recommend them highly enough to anyone who appreciates well told original stories. I really hope the author doesn't wait quite as long to write her next book as I really can't wait!
