The Hidden Palace

Deeply disappointing. It could simply be that I'm not in the right headspace for this, however it was interminably slow. I'm at around the 40% mark of the audiobook and can't get up the energy to listen any further. This is more a kitchen sink drama, dealing with the relationship and life struggles of two people living in New York at the start of the 20th century, rather than a fantasy novel. There are hints of a more interesting story (mainly the arcs of some peripheral characters), however the Golem and Jinni themselves are just frustratingly “normal”.

DNF.
