I recommend this novel if you like magic and fantasy. She is able to make us care not only about an artificial being but also a jinni that has a dark history.Ī sequel is supposed to be released but no idea when but I will be looking out for that. Books about jinnis’ and golems are interesting reads and Wecker is also a great storyteller. I have read this novel twice and plan to read it again down the line. She makes everything connect while also showing us the greatest city in the world. Her characters are detailed and the plot is also great. Wecker does a great job painting Manhattan vividly and shows us the viewpoints of an immigrant that just arrived. Also in the city, Schaalman has followed the golem and seeks immortality and will go to any lengths to accomplish that.Įxploring old New York City from the viewpoint of someone who was just created into existence and someone who has been locked up in a flask for centuries is a delight. Ahmad tries to recover his memories as he walks around Manhattan at night. In Little Syria New York City, a jinni has been freed from a flask that he was trapped in for centuries.
