The Golem and the Djinni is beautifully crafted with vivid descriptions of immigrant life in 1800s New York, but it suffers from a slow pace and underdeveloped main characters. The novel's strengths lie in its secondary characters and the unique, non-romantic relationship between the golem and the djinni.

The Golem and the Djinni by Helene Wecker is a beautifully crafted novel that vividly depicts immigrant life in 1800s New York. The author takes her time setting the scene, describing the people, food, and smells in a way that makes you feel present. However, this attention to detail sometimes comes at the expense of the main characters, the golem and the djinni, who can feel a bit flat compared to the more rounded secondary characters. The relationship between the golem and the djinni is intriguing and avoids typical romantic clichés, focusing more on friendship and deeper connections. While the last 100 pages pick up pace and become more exciting, the overall slow pace and lack of romance might disappoint some readers. Despite not loving the novel, it's still a beautifully written book with fresh and original ideas, and it's worth recommending to those who enjoy this genre.


Quick quotes

    The best way I can describe this novel is that it is without doubt beautifully crafted.

    However, I felt Wecker spent far too much time doing this, and developing her minor characters to a point where the two main characters — the golem and the djinni, often felt a little flat.

    Despite the fact that I didn’t love this novel, I still wouldn’t hesitate to recommend it to people who like this sort of thing, as long as they don’t mind a slower pace.
