The Golem and the Jinni

I wish I could have loved this, instead of just liking it a lot. The setting - 1899 New York city - is brilliant, and something I've not seen in fantasy literature. The Eastern European and Middle Eastern immigrant culture is vividly described. I would have loved a whole book of the Golem and the Jinni exploring the city together and having adventures! And for about 80% of the book, that's what happened, but then a lot of PLOT intruded into the last 20%. The author herself admits to having rushed to rewrite the ending, and it shows - lots more telling than showing up through the confusing resolution.
