![]() ![]() Now, with Daevabad entrenched in the dark aftermath of the battle that saw Dara slain at Prince Ali’s hand, Nahri must forge a new path for herself, without the protection of the guardian who stole her heart or the counsel of the prince she considered a friend. Whisked from her home in Cairo, she was thrust into the dazzling royal court of Daevabad-and quickly discovered she would need all her grifter instincts to survive there. Nahri’s life changed forever the moment she accidentally summoned Dara, a formidable, mysterious djinn, during one of her schemes. Opening line: Alizayd al Qahtani didn’t make it a month with his caravan. ![]() But again, it delivers an ending that makes it hard not to pick up the next book right away. ![]() Just… not as exciting as it could have been. It’s got classic middle book syndrome, which doesn’t mean it’s boring. While Chakraborty proves once more that she is a great storyteller and can spin tales of political intrigue really well, this book does very little to move the overall plot forward. ![]() I was looking forward to the sequel to The City of Brass very much, especially because the first book had a few evil twists at the end. ![]()
