Helene Wecker's The Hidden Palace
I don’t know what exactly I was expecting of this book, but this definitely veered off in several directions I /did not/ expect. I will say there are some new characters this time around, which is nice; I was particularly interested in the rabbi's daughter, but Anna's son is a welcome POV character as well. And the Golem and Sophia both have some especially interesting storylines this time around too. I liked the emphasis on community in this one, and did like how it wrapped up. It just gave me a lot of mixed feelings. I mean, I stayed up late to finish it so clearly I did enjoy it! A-.
