My one criticism was the pacing seemed to be quite slow in the beginning and quite fast-paced at the end. But though it started out a little slow, I understand where Chakraborty was going with the placement of each character and where they ended up when the book was over. The last 100 pages takes the reader on a journey at break-neck speed! It drew me in so fully that I couldn't stop reading.
I absolutely loved the second installment in this trilogy. It was a delight to learn more about the different tribes, the history of Daevebad, the true story of the marid, and the ifrit. I can't wait to see how it all plays out in the final book, but I'm also going to be quite sad to leave this world as it has me enraptured.
