The Empire of Gold

I think it's somewhat fitting that I finished reading this book 1 year to the day after it was published. Chakraborty definitely earned all 5 paw prints on this book, although it was quite a fight for a while.

This series had heartbreak, betrayal, sacrifice, and prejudice. It ended with everyone having happy endings, but not quite in the way that I had expected in the beginning.

I don't know that I would have ever visited Daevabad, had it not been for this reading challenge. If I did, it would have been extremely far down on my list, and only because of the stunning covers. (That alone is reason enough for me to buy them, just don't tell my husband WINK)

This book was so LOOOOOONG! Halfway through this book (and the other 2, actually), I found myself getting bored. I powered through though, and I'm so glad I did. I listened up to Nahri's last chapter and the epilogue this morning, and it was hard to listen to it. I didn't want it to end!
