slayra and 1 other person liked Paula's status update Paula is 25% done with The Golem and the Jinni: Este desvio é feito de uma forma simples e ao mesmo tempo habilidosa e digo isto porque não sinto o “desviar” da história. A mudança é subtil e deixa-me com a sensação de que eu quero e preciso saber a história de mais aquela personagem. Da mesma forma que abandona a história principal a ela retorna, sem descuidar o fio condutor. A sensação que tenho é que estou a ler um conto de fadas muito humano.

RATING: 3 star-ish Quick, fluffy read, but little more than that. It was a cute book and I loved the fact that the romance plays such a small role in the story and that Harriet finds her answers alone (or with the help of friends and family). Also lik...more
