Wat een fenomenaal boek! Hoewel het even duurde ik er in zat (9 maanden terug las ik boek 1), was het een feestje om te lezen. Veel verschillende personages die goed uitgewerkt zijn. En oh boy, wat was het einde spannend. Ik kan niet wachten op boek 3! (Maart 2023)

Type of read: Commuter Read.

What made me pick it up: I read 'The City of Brass' back in June and the trilogy hooked me!

Overall rating: First things first, can we talk about how this audiobook is over 20 hours long?! I was very apprehensive to dive back into the audiobook version of The Daevabad Trilogy as I struggled with the first book (go check out that review for details on that) but holy buckets I'm so happy I took another chance. I think 'The Kingdom of Copper' is even better than its predecessor. There was greater character development, I felt like the break up of storytelling between characters was more clear, and there was definite growth in the story. There were also many times throughout the book that I was utterly speechless, completely caught off guard, and had no idea the story was going to take the turns it did. I do believe I'm slowly falling in love with the craziness that is Daevabad. One of the things that I still struggled with in 'The Kingdom of Copper' is the names. Everyone obviously has their formal name and a nickname but then there are so many nicknames and terms of endearment that it's hard to keep everything straight. It was a little easier this time around since I knew a bit more about what to expect, but still a bit blurry. If you enjoyed or were on the fence about the first book, take a chance on 'The Kingdom of Copper.' I'm now prepping myself for the final installment (which I believe is nearly 30 hours of audiobook...come on people, can we PLEASE stop having ridiculously long books)!

Reader's Note: 'The Kingdom of Copper' includes themes of slavery, rape, war, and racial hate/injustices.
