Reviewing a book I first read decades ago
Completely agree about this series, and the wonderful array of voices to imitate! Have you tried reading “wee free men” (Terry Pratchett) aloud? Lots of great accents to get completely wrong!
Was a massive fan of the trilogy lol
Was impressed at how much Jewish lore Stroud picked up on, I imagine most readers missed most of the references
I'm positive I did; the second book is I believe *the* reason I'm aware that golems are Jewish folklore rather than a generalized fantasy element.
A ton of the King Solomon stuff is based on pretty ancient lore
I also love this book!
One of the only YA type books I think is worth reading, great review
