There is a spark of romance between Dara and Nahri, though. There isn’t that much romance in The City of Brass. And while there are too many characters, I thought they were really useful in showing us court politics, the current state of Daevabad and the different tribes that live in Daevabad. The other minor characters are also well fleshed out and really play an important role in building this world. I’m also curious about what happens to Dara after that shocking scene. It is later that we find out the reasons why. When we meet him, he is angry and is really judgmental to Nahri. He is the Daeva warrior that was accidentally summoned by Nahri. ĭarayavahush is another character that I absolutely love. I can’t WAIT to see where his arc grows in The Kingdom of Copper. His importance is also not revealed until the climax of his book. His POV is also unique because we get to know more about court politics and Ali’s world as he sees it – very idealistic. He is the idealistic prince who is being groomed to be his older brother’s advisor. Prince Alizayd is another character who we meet a few chapters into the book. Nahri is slowly finding her own in The City of brass and I can’t wait to find out how her character arc grows. Nahri’s POV is basically us – we know more about the world and Daevabad through her POV because she is also learning about her people and what her role is. She is a young con-artist who doesn’t know her roots when she accidentally summons a jinn named Dara. The City of Brass is written in third-person but in two POVs – Nahri and Alizayd. The amazing way that this book was written really blew me away. When we finally arrive in Daevabad, the descriptions and even the history are written in a way that it does not feel like it was told to us. In fact, I felt that I was IN the book and could vividly see what the world looked like in Nahri’s eyes. Chakraborty has a riveting way to craft her book. In fantasy, world-building is key, especially if it is the first book in the series and S.A. Chakraborty’s adult fantasy debut and I was blown away by how amazing it is! Let me tell you, requesting this book was NOT a mistake! The City of Brass was not something that I expected but it really surprised me in the best way possible! The City of Brass is S.A. I was planning to get book 1 myself until I received m book mail and discovered that they included all two books. When Avon asked if anyone would be interested in reviewing The Kingdom of Copper, I decided to request it know that it was book 2. That even the cleverest of schemes can have deadly consequences.Īfter all, there is a reason they say be careful what you wish for. That magic cannot shield her from the dangerous web of court politics. And when Nahri decides to enter this world, she learns that true power is fierce and brutal. In that city, behind gilded brass walls laced with enchantments, behind the six gates of the six djinn tribes, old resentments are simmering. For the warrior tells her a new tale: across hot, windswept sands teeming with creatures of fire, and rivers where the mythical marid sleep past ruins of once-magnificent human metropolises, and mountains where the circling hawks are not what they seem, lies Daevabad, the legendary city of brass?a city to which Nahri is irrevocably bound. But she knows better than anyone that the trade she uses to get by-palm readings, zars, healings-are all tricks, sleights of hand, learned skills a means to the delightful end of swindling Ottoman nobles.īut when Nahri accidentally summons an equally sly, darkly mysterious djinn warrior to her side during one of her cons, she’s forced to accept that the magical world she thought only existed in childhood stories is real. Certainly, she has power on the streets of 18th century Cairo, she’s a con woman of unsurpassed talent.
