After #CityOfBrass spent two years in my bookshelf, I took it out last week and finished it today. It got a bit confusing at the end, but the world is wonderfully fleshed out. I unfortunately didn‘t enjoy Ali‘s chapter as much as Nahri‘s.

I love book maps! They add more information to the world you visual as you read. I also love how gorgeous they are. Do you use book maps while you read?

Started this #OwnVoices Islamic fantasy today. I‘m about 50 pages into it and I love it so far. Great writing. Wonderful world-building. Characters with lively personas. Rich Islamic, South & South West Asian cultures and representation. Excited to see how it‘ll progress. Also, please note that this is NOT YA.

I am in love with this book so far! I haven't had as much time as I would liked to read this weekend so far so I'm only about halfway, but I'm going to try to finish it before Monday. I already bought book 2 so I can start right away! 😍👍💕🧞#currentlyreading #cityofbrass

This is a fantastic debut novel & the beginning of a great trilogy! I appreciated the intricate world building the author did; she has set the stage for Book2 beautifully! I listened to the audio & was thankful to hear the correct pronunciation of many unfamiliar terms associated w/ the Middle East folklore. However, the inner politics (which play a crucial role) were confusing in audio form & I had to do a few rewinds. (Cont. in comments)

TheBookKeepers Reading the text may have helped the confusion, but I'm not sure. Either way it's worth it to read slowly so you grasp the caste system of the daevas. I liked many of the characters & the tinge of romance. I think the romance fell towards the 2nd half & hope to see it continue more consistently through the next installment. Book 2 is set to publish in the US in Jan 2019. Great read! Let me know your opinions or if you have it on your TBR! 7y

TheBookKeepers @lyradora , if you end up reading it tag me in ur review!! Interested to hear other people's thoughts! 7y
Areader2 I found the politics confusing as well and I read the book,I don‘t think I will continue with the series 😬 7y
DGRachel I loved it - one of the best books I‘ve read this year and I‘m looking forward to book 2. 7y
lyradora @ravenlee @TheBookKeepers it's on my To Buy list. 😊 I look for it every time I hit the used bookstore. 7y
Areader2 No I haven‘t, it‘s a good read? 7y
TheBookKeepers @Areader2 I enjoyed it! It's a trilogy & I'm reading the 3rd book now. It's similarly set in the Middle East, but uniquely different from The City of Brass. Less politics, more action. I'd definitely recommend it if you enjoyed the setting of City of Brass!! (edited) 7y
Areader2 Definitely,thanks! 7y

I love this cover! When I saw this charm I knew it fit. I‘m half way through this book. It reminds me of Sarah j Maas in the best ways. #cityofbrass

DrexEdit I just started this book too. You're right. That charm is perfect! 👍😊😍 7y
