The Golem and the Jinni by Helene Wecker

3.0

The next Powells SF book selection. Better than I expected it to be. Definitely a different approach to fantastical creatures, making them the pov characters. And real and interesting. And the historical NYC setting also rang true. But somehow it was never compelling. And really none of the characters were all that likable. The book best part was the beginning - say the first 50 pages - the later sections just didn't have that same oomph. 3.5 of 5.
