This was a strange and unique story, which I must say was a little refreshing as sometimes the stories if this time can start to blend together. I was interested at reading the description, but I think the idea would have made a better action movie, I wanted more wrath and vengeance and I feel like I got only a pinch of that and a lot of coming of age (or being) and romance. It was written well, it was just weird and the pacing felt a little off. When a Jewish man’s daughter is killed by Nazis he creates a golem and uses some parts of her daughter to help bind the golem for his only focus, vengeance. Vera is born in a sense but quickly has to figure out how to serve her purpose and what exactly that purpose will become on her own. I love the idea of Jewish mysticism coming to life like Vera did and taking revenge against the Nazis and help protect the Jewish people. It was an interesting book that definitely left me thinking.
