This is the second book (potentially last) in the Golem and the Jinni series. Although the experience might have been more impactful, I find this book can stand alone in terms of plot.  It follows the friendship of a golem and a jinni bonding over secretly living amongst humans.  I found the first half of the book quite slow. Overall, it was a nice story about the bonds of friendship, realizing mistakes, and caring for others.
