DNF at 60%. I ended up googling a summary for the remainder of the book and glad I didn't waste anymore time on this.
Starting off, there is some beautiful atmospheric writing in this novel. In that regard, it reminded me of The Night Circus. Rich, evocative vocabulary that transfixes you.
Now to the characters... A Golem who has no master and a jinni with no master are living in New York, trying to blend in, while also exploring the world around them.
Now why the low rating? The plot and pacing had me bored. I kept going hoping the story would get more engaging, but it didn't. It was just so.... dull. Which is disappointing because the summary sounded very promising, the atmospheric writing was beautiful, but the pacing and characters were unfulfilling.
