kareilaThis sequel isn't quite as good as the first book - the tension of the plot suffers from the lack of a true villain this time around. Instead, the Golem and the Jinni merely continue to explore their relationship, with inevitable setbacks due to their contrasting natures.
Events transpire gradually over the course of some fifteen years, a much longer span of time than the previous story, with references to some specific occurrences of the era, such as the Triangle Shirtwaist fire, the sinking of the Titanic, and the outbreak of the first World War.
Many of the supporting characters from the first book are gone, so new ones are introduced in their place. Happily, Sophia Winston continues to be a major participant in the story. I would have eagerly read an entire book of just her adventures.
