Aleaf the Unseen is a novel by G. Willow Wilson that I found on the shelf at Half Price Bookstore in Seattle a year ago. I had not heard of it, but I've heard of G. Willow Wilson. She made her name as far as I know anyway, creating the new Ms. Marvel at Marvel Comics. This is an interesting book, a really strong beginning. It starts with a prologue in which a medieval monk of some sort has imprisoned a demon or a jinn and is forcing it to dictate to him the history of its people and its own life story and he's writing it down. Then the book proper starts with the story of a young man in an unnamed Middle Eastern Muslim nation who goes by the name Aleaf online who is a internet security specialist, a kind of a white hat, and while he is attempting to write an internet worm program, not a virus, I guess you would call it a worm, which is supposed to keep his ex-girlfriend from being able to find him online and he accidentally creates something with much bigger security implications than he ever could have imagined and he doesn't even understand how it works. And it remains to be seen how this connects to the story of the the monk and the jinn. This book has a really strong beginning. Unfortunately, I felt that the ending was weak and I've seen this particular problem so many times with authors across the board in every genre over the years and I've always felt that an author's best, sharpest, strongest writing should be in the climax of the book but so many times that's not the case and I'm starting to wonder if it's not something that editors and publishers care about because I see it as such a problem everywhere. I will give this book a soft recommendation because it's so unusual. Look it up, give it a read and see what you think. Thank you for watching.
