This book was just a wonderful read. I wondered, in the beginning, why some people were being introduced and their stories being told as they didn't seem to fit. Helene really took care in crafting the story, and what you learned about characters other than the Golem and Jinni, really helped with their portion of the overall story. Little pieces here and there, which when they all came together, just were amazing. I can't wait to read the next one when it comes out.
