Book 2 is more about the ins and outs between royalty. Brothers torn between their father, Nahri pulled between them, the king, queen, and people of her heritage.
Compared to the first, the authors writing has matured. Conversations between characters have a better flow, descriptions of settings, objects have more details. I feel she really captured the essence of sibling rivalry. However, due to the change of focus, the pacing is a lot slower. It isn't until about 70% in where everything comes together and the action hits. Makes for a different, yet complimentary story. The 1st still my favorite of the two, but 2 was still exciting and has me wanting to read the 3rd.

While Chakraborty's characters are djinn from fantasy tribes, the tribes they are from correspond to real world ethnic groups. The narrative is clearly against racism and xenophobia, but the depictions could potentially be triggering.just_one_more_paige's review against another edition

I loved learning what happened to our characters and we are thrust 5 years into the future where Nahri discovers more about her past yet she is trapped in the royal walls while Prince Ali was exiled and no longer wishes to return to Daevabad, but something or someone may force him. Again this was unputdownable and again this author creates relatable characters, issues that matter, politics, and a beautiful landscape. I am looking forward to reading the third installment of this trilogy.
