Summary
Return to Daevabad in the spellbinding sequel to THE CITY OF BRASS。In Daevabad， where djinn can summon flames with a snap of their fingers， where rivers run deep with ancient magic， and blood can be as dangerous as any spell， a clever con artist from Cairo will alter the fate of a kingdom。Nahris life changed forever when she accidentally summoned Dara， a formidable， mysterious djinn， during one of her schemes。 Thrust into the dazzling royal court of Daevabad， she needed all of her grifter instincts to survive。 Now， as Nahri embraces her heritage and her power， she must forge a new path。Exiled for daring to defy his father， Ali is adrift on the unforgiving sands of his ancestral land， hunted by assassins and forced to rely on frightening new abilities that threaten to reveal a terrible family secret。And as a new century approaches and the djinn gather within Daevabad's brass walls to celebrate， a power in the desolate north will bring a storm of fire straight to the citys gates 。 。 。

My God what an explosive ending！！！ I loved reading every single second of this book。 It's even better than the first one in my opinion。 The politics， the world， the characters！！！ Everything was top notch。 I adore all the characters with my entire being。 Nahri， Ali， Dara， Muntadhir and Jamshid have my heart。 I want to see all of them happy。 Also I'm really rooting for Nahri and Ali to be together。 Like this NEEDS to happen！！ I can't wait to read the third book and find out how it all wraps up。 My God what an explosive ending！！！ I loved reading every single second of this book。 It's even better than the first one in my opinion。 The politics， the world， the characters！！！ Everything was top notch。 I adore all the characters with my entire being。 Nahri， Ali， Dara， Muntadhir and Jamshid have my heart。 I want to see all of them happy。 Also I'm really rooting for Nahri and Ali to be together。 Like this NEEDS to happen！！ I can't wait to read the third book and find out how it all wraps up。 。。。more

2。75 starsA tough one to rate， especially since I again wanted to love it so much because my friend loves the series。I find that when the first 40ish pages and last 100ish pages of a book are interesting， but the middle 500 feel painfully boring， then there is something not right。 The plot/pacing of this felt so off- nothing seemed to happen for the longest time， and then finally things were happening， and it was over。Add to that the fact that I would have gladly smacked most of the characters i 2。75 starsA tough one to rate， especially since I again wanted to love it so much because my friend loves the series。I find that when the first 40ish pages and last 100ish pages of a book are interesting， but the middle 500 feel painfully boring， then there is something not right。 The plot/pacing of this felt so off- nothing seemed to happen for the longest time， and then finally things were happening， and it was over。Add to that the fact that I would have gladly smacked most of the characters in the face （even Nahri， who I generally like）， I struggled to finish this。I will say that again the world building and lush descriptions are wonderful。I’ll finish the series （only one more to go thankfully）， but will need some time between because it is even longer again。 。。。more

Very very very slow burn for the first half to two-thirds of the book。 Then - too much happens too quickly， and you literally can't let it go for the last quarter or so。 Well written， with compelling characters。 I continue to like this overall， but struggle with the hyper-Americanised simplistic uber-heroic motivations of the majority of the characters。 The nice thing about the more recent fantasy （esp grimdark） is the flawed characters who really are not heroic。 This continues to stumble throug Very very very slow burn for the first half to two-thirds of the book。 Then - too much happens too quickly， and you literally can't let it go for the last quarter or so。 Well written， with compelling characters。 I continue to like this overall， but struggle with the hyper-Americanised simplistic uber-heroic motivations of the majority of the characters。 The nice thing about the more recent fantasy （esp grimdark） is the flawed characters who really are not heroic。 This continues to stumble through the old tropes。 Nothing fatal， but just - a shame。 The premise is too good for this。 Oh， and still a far far far better jinn story than A Master of Djinn。 。。。more

This book continues what was so great with the first one， and expands on it brilliantly。 It's so easy to imagine Daevabad with all its people and cultures and characters， the world building is excellent and the characters multilayered， flawed and amazing all the same。 This book continues what was so great with the first one， and expands on it brilliantly。 It's so easy to imagine Daevabad with all its people and cultures and characters， the world building is excellent and the characters multilayered， flawed and amazing all the same。 。。。more

A good sequel。 I liken it to a fantasy empire strikes back - except swap out the frozen world of Hoth for a desert kingdom （I'd say Tatooine， but this locale is far more rich）。 The book is bubbling， and surging toward a conflict， and when it comes it is both expected and a little underwhelming。 Still a good read， and leaves enough questions out there for me to definitely want to read the third。 I'm invested enough in the characters to want to read the third。 A good sequel。 I liken it to a fantasy empire strikes back - except swap out the frozen world of Hoth for a desert kingdom （I'd say Tatooine， but this locale is far more rich）。 The book is bubbling， and surging toward a conflict， and when it comes it is both expected and a little underwhelming。 Still a good read， and leaves enough questions out there for me to definitely want to read the third。 I'm invested enough in the characters to want to read the third。 。。。more

I liked this better than book 1！ A solid 4-stars read。 While The City of Brass was dragging along the YA lines， The Kingdom of Copper definitely is adult fantasy， which I liked better。The characters have definitely grown since book 1， especially Nahri。 I think it has to do with the fact that the story takes place 5 years after the events in City of Brass: while everything was so new to her in the first installment and she had no idea of what was going on in Daevabad nor what her Nahid conditions I liked this better than book 1！ A solid 4-stars read。 While The City of Brass was dragging along the YA lines， The Kingdom of Copper definitely is adult fantasy， which I liked better。The characters have definitely grown since book 1， especially Nahri。 I think it has to do with the fact that the story takes place 5 years after the events in City of Brass: while everything was so new to her in the first installment and she had no idea of what was going on in Daevabad nor what her Nahid conditions implied， now she's fully aware of all this and no longer is the helpless girl from book 1。 I think it's safe to say she was my favourite charcter in this second installment。Ali slightly disappointed me however， I found him way too weak sometimes， too desperate to revive his friendship （and perhaps something more ？） with Nahri。 I didn't remember him this way from book 1。And I have no idea what to think of Dara。 I don't know if the author wrote his character in a way that we should like him or not。 This is puzzling， but I'm thinking it may have actually intentional - after all， most characters are very morally grey in this story。Kingdom of Copper was overall less fast-paced than City of Brass （except the ending， which is totally action-packed）。 While book 1 was mostly Nahri's journey to Daevabad， which implied lots of twists and turns， book 2 takes more time developping the political stakes in Daevabad。 We had a glimpse of them already in book 1 with Ali's chapters， but this time they're at the core of the story。 Really， S。A。 Chakraborty did an impressive job at creating a complex world， which very much echoes to some issues happening in the real world。Finally， another positive about this book is that there is no romance。 Well， I know this will be a negative for many readers， as a lot of people ship either Nahri and Dara （no way！） or Nahri and Ali， but I personally think that romance doesn't belong in this story， and I want Nahri to stay a strong independent woman who doesn't need a man！What I missed to give this book 5 stars is some emotional involvement with the characters。 As I said， I liked Nahri a lot more than in book 1， yet I still felt a little detached from what happened to her。 Same for Ali， and all the side characters。City of Brass was a 3-stars， Kingdom of Copper a 4-stars。。。 can Empire of Gold be a 5-stars？ I certainely hope so！ 。。。more

life， I got busy with other stuffs was only been able to pick up the book only now。And I regret my choice of postponing the reading。 If tCoB was amazing then tKoC is beyond epic。 This book delivered to me exactly what I want in an adult fantasy - magic both in terms of power and creatures （thankfully no dragons） conflicts both emotional and political， and violence。 tCoB introduced the reader to the world of Daevabad， a world of ancient， magical creatures situated somewhere in the Middle East veiled from the human world and accessible only to these magical beings。 It introduced us to one of the main characters， Nahri who dismissed her unnatural “healing” abilities as a harmless skill she somehow seem to possess。 And we， along with her were whisked by a Djinn/Daeva （being of fire） to this magical city where she discovers that the fairy tale stories of djinns and marids and flying carpets are real and she possesses powers that could put herself in danger in the extremely volatile capital city of the fire beings。 In the second book， we are taken further deeper into this world where we are exposed to political conflicts， searing royal family dynamics， and spectacular magic system。 I love the extensive world building with solid background of history，hierarchical caste system， regional languages and even varying cuisines of different regions。 Having said that， I struggled a bit with understanding the different tribes/castes and the conflicts/friendship among them。 Thankfully at the end of the books ， Chakroborty has mercifully added a detailed glossary ， that really helps with getting over that hurdle。 I also enjoyed that because this is a Middle east-based fantasy and due to the fact that I didn’t have to endure the usual over-used tropes like dragons but instead have scary monsters like Karkadann，Shedu and Rukh。 The books weaves parallels to real world caste and class systems and the associated injustices and brutalities that exists。 At the end of book 1 ， I was fairly clear on whom I am going to side with and who I want to “win” at the end。However， tKoC toppled all that over-confident conviction and by the time I was halfway through book 2，I was frustrated with many characters whom I was feverishly supporting in book 1。 And that is something I consider a main attribute of good books。 To lay out the story as it unfolds and let the readers decide whom they want to side with while the author merely concentrate on the narration of the events even when the chapters are doled out in different character POVs。Chakroborty merely tells you the story， she doesn’t tell you how to feel about the characters。And that ending！ Talk about a cliff hanger！ I just can’t wait for the third book。 Unfortunately ， I am already committed to buddy reading Malazan Book 1 （for the first time ever！） with a friend and hence ， will get back to this once I am done with that。 That is if Malazan doesn’t manage to murder my “reading” soul as others have warned me against。 But thankfully，I have a great encouraging and supportive Malazan army in Discord and hence hoping to sail through the storm unscathed 。A bit of spoilery remarks。！！！！！！！！！！ （ For the rest of the spoiler-free part， skip to the next para）Did anybody else feel Dara’s and Nahri’s intimacy should have been explored more？Also， is it me or did Nahri get on your nerves as well towards the end of Book2？ I mean， why would she hand over the ring to an enemy tribe where she was literally held captive all these years， who had slaughtered her family （ her mother！） to take power over Daevabad ？ And it is not like she particularly liked Ali。 She in fact loathed him for killing Dara and thereby jeopardising Dara’s and her escape plan。I think in the entire book ， the only person for whom my emotions stayed steady was Alizayd。 He is compassionate and doesn’t discriminate against shafits and is wiling to take self-destructive， self-sacrificing decisions by standing for what he believes in ， justice。 Also， how vile is Ghassan。 His justifications for the massacre against anybody daring to even “think” about dissent for this atrocities is puke-worthy。 He conveniently hangs the blame on “saving Daevabad” while in fact all he was doing was ensuring continuity of this reign。 I want to leave you guys with a beautiful part from the book。“You are far too clever to believe the Ayaanle are the only reason for Daevabad’s financial problems。 We are scapegoat;a slight diminishment in taxes does not do damage I know you’ve seen。 Keeping the third of the population in slavery and squalor does。 Oppressng another third to the point where they self=segrgate does。” …。”People do not thrive under tyrants， Alizayd;they do not come up with innovations when they’re busy trying to stay alive， or offer creative ideas when error is punished by the hooves of a karkadann。”This is a such a profound observation and can so easily be applied to the case of India。 The Dalits and untouchables of this country has been oppressed for so many generations along with other marginalised sections like women。 I believe that the state that we are in now and the stagnation and lagging we find ourselves in as compared to other nations is due to this oppression。 How can we collectively progress when more than half the population is deprived of access to decent basic rights and denied any sort of empowerment be it education ， social presence or political representation？ It was refreshing to read a diverse fantasy with such novel magic system and strong sociopolitical commentary after a long while。 Thank you， SA Chakroborty for this beautiful book。 。。。more
