Summary

Wkrocz do magicznego miasta, w którym przyszłość królestwa spoczywa w rękach sprytnej i buntowniczej oszustki!

Nahri nigdy nie wierzyła w magię。 Jest oszustką o niezrównanym talencie, żyjącą na ulicach XVIII- wiecznego Kairu。 Wie lepiej niż ktokolwiek inny, że jej profesja – odczyty z dłoni, czary, uzdrowienia – to wszystko sztuczki i sposób na zmanipulowanie osmańskiej szlachty。

Ale kiedy Nahri przypadkowo przywołuje równie przebiegłego, mrocznego i tajemniczego wojownika – dżina, jest zmuszona zaakceptować fakt, że magiczny świat, o którym myślała, że istnieje tylko w opowieściach z dzieciństwa, jest prawdziwy。 Wojownik bowiem opowiada jej historię o legendarnym Daevabad, mieście z mosiądzu, z którym Nahri jest nieodwołalnie związana。

Kiedy Nahri decyduje się wkroczyć do nowego świata, dowiaduje się, że prawdziwa moc jest zaciekła i brutalna。 Tam magia nie może jej uchronić przed niebezpieczną polityczną siecią, a nawet najsprytniejszy plan może mieć śmiertelne konsekwencje。

W końcu jest powód, dla którego mówi się: uważaj, czego sobie życzysz。

It was quite entertaining and unique。 I particularly enjoyed learning about the unique myths in the middle-eastern culture。 The characters felt well developed - they had their own flaws and I could empathise with them。

Sarah Shepherd

I enjoyed this book but it definitely was edging into cringy romance with one relationship。 I’m super hoping that the author is purposefully making the relationship not great instead of wanting us to root for it。 I was 100% not rooting for them。 Let’s see how the next book goes!

Loved this entire series。 Engaging, multi-dimensional characters and lots of fun plot twists and turns。

4。5 starsThis was such a good read! It started a little slow and took me a bit to get into it, but by 1/3 of the way through, I was hooked。 If you like epic fantasy, I highly recommend this book。

With high fantasy books, sometimes the world building can make getting into the book difficult。 However, with City of Brass, the author did an amazing job of writing complex world building while keeping the story engaging。 I absolutely loved a dive into Western lore, with Dijinn (basically genies), royalty, politics, betrayal, and a whole world/magic system。 Gave me Aladdin vibes and felt like a unique story I’ve never seen before。 Overall it’s more plot driven than character driven (I prefer ch With high fantasy books, sometimes the world building can make getting into the book difficult。 However, with City of Brass, the author did an amazing job of writing complex world building while keeping the story engaging。 I absolutely loved a dive into Western lore, with Dijinn (basically genies), royalty, politics, betrayal, and a whole world/magic system。 Gave me Aladdin vibes and felt like a unique story I’ve never seen before。 Overall it’s more plot driven than character driven (I prefer character driven stories) but I still loved it。 Wish we would have gotten more character development between Nahri and Dara, but with the way this one ended I have a feeling book 2 will be more character driven。 。。。more

J'ai beaucoup aimé la plume de l'autrice qui nous plonge directement dans son univers tout en douceur。 Elle arrive à nous introduire les différents protagonistes sans nous perdre et cela permet au lecteur de vraiment pénétrer dans l'histoire。 Les personnages du roman sont aussi un point fort。 Chacun a son caractères, ses convictions, ses combats mais aussi ses propres questionnements。 L'action n'est pas vraiment présente dans ce premier tome mais on ne s'ennuie pas pour autant。 Ce que j'ai aussi beaucoup apprécié c'est de ne pas savoir où nous menait l'autrice。 Je n'ai vraiment pas vu venir la fin de ce premier tome et ça fait du bien! 。。。more

Dropped it halfway through。 It is actually quite a good fantasy novel, but I realized I have very particular fantasy tastes and this wasn't doing it for me。 Good world building, but not enough I don't know what to draw me in。 Dropped it halfway through。 It is actually quite a good fantasy novel, but I realized I have very particular fantasy tastes and this wasn't doing it for me。 Good world building, but not enough I don't know what to draw me in。 。。。more

This book was a rollercoaster。Started off so strong, I was obsessed。 Lagged a bit in the middle but finished amazing。 Definitely makes me want to read the next one。Enjoyed the Cairo/ Middle East setting and the rich world building。

3,75/5。Rozczarowałam się。 Tylko tyle mogę powiedzieć。Na początku mi się podobało,ale później doszłam do wniosku-hej,przecież nadal nic się nie dzieje。 Akcja została upchnięta w ostatnich 3-5 rozdziałach,kiedy można było ją lepiej rozłożyć na przestrzeni całej książki。 „Buntowniczka Z Pustyni” mogła być inspiracją,ale nie było z niej dużo ściągnięte。 Ona zawsze będzie w moim sercu。Aż mam ochotę na re-read。

In one word: disappointed。This book was sold to me as an adult fantasy novel by one of my friends, and though I had suspicions, I gave it a try。 I went ahead, and bought the whole trilogy, thinking it will be awesome。The world building is interesting, I have to give that to it。 The idea behind the story is great, but apart from this, everything is badly written。 It's like the author didn't have anything more to it, just her idea about an arabic world with djinns and flying carpets and demons。 If In one word: disappointed。This book was sold to me as an adult fantasy novel by one of my friends, and though I had suspicions, I gave it a try。 I went ahead, and bought the whole trilogy, thinking it will be awesome。The world building is interesting, I have to give that to it。 The idea behind the story is great, but apart from this, everything is badly written。 It's like the author didn't have anything more to it, just her idea about an arabic world with djinns and flying carpets and demons。 If I'm truly evil, I can summarize this book like this: it's a poorly re-written, gender-twisted Aladdin fan-fiction。All of my disappointment comes from the young adultish elements this book is full of。 The characters, especially the main one are plain and one-dimensional。 Nahri is anything but a self-sustaining, powerful girl。 She is whiny, weak, she has to be saved all of the time, she can't decide who she loves, and of course she is the chosen one, and she is the only woman in the whole world who is loved by a thousand years old djinn (Dara) and the religious, stone hearted prince, Ali。 I mean, come on, can we not do this again and again? These love triangles are boring, this insta-love is just terrible。Ali is simply boring。 He is nothing without his sword。 He is described as an all-knowing person, somebody who is interested in the human world, yet he doesn't even know what a lock is。 He is a religious person, yet we can see him praying only once in the entire novel, and he doesn't really speak about his religion。。。 like never。Dara could have been a great spot of interest - he is a mythical djinn, who is a thousand years old, he is a slave and a great warrior。 What do we get instead of a complex character? A handsome guy, who can fight, but if he starts to explain his past, something will occur, and we never have answers。This is a huge problem in this book。 If somebody - it happened mainly with Dara - after a trillion pages starts to explain something, the author decided to interrupt it with something else。 Like no, the reader doesn't have to understand anything, and everything will resolves itself somehow。I have no clue what was her purppose with this - not suspension I think, because if you play this so many times, like the author did in this novel, it becomes irritating, and the book seems poorly written。Not that it's not poorly written。 (I mean, just look, the aforementioned aspects are proving this。) The story is cheap, it's lazy, it's not worked out properly。 There are hints that deep down there were awesome ideas (the djinn tribes, the political wars), but after all everything is too slick, too easy。 There's nothing that makes you think (except to figure out how everything works in this world, because the descriptions are awful, and you get no facts from them), there are no twists and turns, just plots following each other like brainless soldiers in a line。And after all this I think I'll continue with the series。 We'll see。 I did bought the entire trilogy, and I don't want them to go to waste on my shelves, but I do need a pause with this one。 Something adult。 Something more serious, more bloody I guess。Addition: the hungarian translation of this book is beyond terrible, it's awful, it's like nobody edited it, nobody corrected it, nobody spell-checked it。 There are spelling mistakes, there are huge translation mistakes, the same names appear with two spellings (Gasszán - Asszán, Káve - Kaveh, Naszrin - Niszrin), so all in all it's an indescribable disappointment in the publishing company。 。。。more

The plot is slow and complicated but also really worked for me? I saw some people saying it was OVERLY complicated, which I disagree with - I don’t think it took any more effort than any other fantasy I’ve read, and it was engaging all the while。 I will say my biggest issue here, and the reason I considered three stars, was Nahri。 Like。 Get it together, girl。 I’ve seen reviews stating Dara is abusive, and don’t get me wrong - Dara can be a real dick。 He’s got anger management issues and prejudic The plot is slow and complicated but also really worked for me?

She is entitled and bratty when it comes to his history and trauma, all because she doesn’t think anyone but her should be allowed to have secrets。 Like do you deserve to know where this strange man who saved your life is taking you and why? Yes。 Absolutely。 Do you deserve to know his entire life story, just because? Nah。 Is it worth it to put your life in danger for answers? Also nah。 Bonus, it’s not just Dara that Nahri is the absolute worst to - Nisreen gets dumped on on the reg, her ancestral people aren’t exactly treated well, and Nahri is also just constantly shortchanging herself。 When she can’t heal someone or learn something IMMEDIATELY, she gives up。 Anyway, will continue reading because I love Ali and Jamshid and I’m curious about the plot but fingers crossed Nahri decides to stop being the worst。 。。。more

a little bit confusing at times but honestly very fun to read, will be getting the sequels for sure

Very cool arabian mythology and world building。 I found the main character hard to relate to and pretty annoying。 I actually didn't like the first half of the book that much and almost gave up on it, but the end was good, so I will be reading the sequels。 Very cool arabian mythology and world building。 I found the main character hard to relate to and pretty annoying。 I actually didn't like the first half of the book that much and almost gave up on it, but the end was good, so I will be reading the sequels。 。。。more

not a five star read, because i think the story took a while to take off, but the world building in this book is amazing!!! also the second half of the book is a page turner, and those two final chapters made me want to pick up the net book asap。

The world building is masterfully done。 The characters are all so well fleshed out, and none of them are perfect。 I absolutely adored all the grey morality throughout this book, and the way each of the main characters interacted with each other。Sadly, I felt like it took a little while to get going。 But once it did, it was SO GOOD。 Such a fun read and the audiobook is so well read。Also, that ending 👀 I will definitely be adding the rest of this trilogy to my TBR!

I found the initial parts of this novel extremely difficult, but at about the halfway point it picked up speed and I started getting into it。 By the end I really wanted to read the second instalment to see what happens, so clearly it grabbed me eventually。

Very immersive and exciting, but very confusing at times。 So much of what is told about the history is not true or half truths, and told from 7 different perspectives that it just causes a headache to the reader at some point。

Complex, original, wonderful storytelling full of political intrigue, morally grey characters, adventure, mystery。。。 what more could you ask for?!
