I adore this book. It’s such a slow burn of a story and I love the Djinn politics. It’s such a fun story.

In summary, a great story with the flavours of epic tales in the sand dunes. I've started book two, so check out the reactions for that too.

THE CITY OF BRASS - ⭐⭐⭐⭐

Maybe only how much of an 🍑🕳️ Ghassan is. That was pretty out there...

THE EXTRAORDINARY

I don't think there is anything mind-blowing in the story, not to say the story itself is average, it is absolutely not that, but there isn't an aspect of it that left me gasping...

The promises of twists that the epilogue leaves us with, too.

Those last moments with Nahri, the last few lines, before the epilogue... Chef's kiss. She's my queen.

THE GOOD

The characters, without a doubt. They have such distinct personalities, and they're so complex. You can tell there is more to unearth with each one of them.

THE BAD

Hmmmm, it does take a while to come together for me. The journey with Dara, before they arrived to Daevabad, was too long, and the danger didn't feel so pressing.

FINAL THOUGHTS

That was a rollercoaster. It took me a while to finish it due to latent reading slumps, but it had nothing to do with the quality of the story. If I hadn't enjoyed it, as you know, I'd have DNFd

Nahri has too many voices in her ear and it’s sad to say the only one close to honest with her was Ali…

Poor Nahri. She was pulled in a world she knew nothing about and now has no agency about her own life…

That is a weird-ass thing to apologise for. ‘Sorry, my son, that I can’t kill you…’

Ok, I need Nahri back in this story… cause I’m about to fictionalize myself and have a go at Ali’s father…

He didn’t get Rashid killed, for crying out loud. Rashid got himself killed… Not that killing him was right either but Ali needs to dump all this extra weight he throws over his shoulders and carries around…
