The City of Brass

I find it funny that people are reviewing this book saying it has no plot... the plot is huge. There are so many different ways it could go. I listened to the audiobook which really helped me get into the story quickly.

Yes, the book is long, but Chakraborty is setting up a MASSIVE world on the scale of Game of Thrones with just as many warring factions. I loved this book. I guess if you don't like political intrigue, you may not like it.

Yes, it does take time for Dara and Nahri to travel to Daevabad - this is an epic, people! You have to establish Nahri's relationship with Dara. That does not happen overnight.

Anyway, I don't use GoodReads much anymore, but I had to come on here and say my piece. Totally out of my element here as far as the folklore that inspired the story goes - but I really enjoyed it.

–MINI SPOILERS–

I loved the feeling that Nahri was not sure who to trust when it comes to the oral history of Daevabad and the Djinn - is Dara just as bad as everyone says, or are the Qahtani's lying about a whole lot to keep the throne? Probably a little of both. History is written by the victors.

Totally ship Muntadhir and Jamshid. Excited to see Ali's fish powers.

Can't wait for Kingdom of Copper!
