The City of Brass by S.A. Chakraborty
3.0
I would have loved this when I was 14.
I do not understand how this is not labeled as young adult fiction. The protagonists and tropes are very YA, and the American narrator made it feel like a cartoon. This is not a bad thing, just very different from the tone I expected .
To someone who, I think, was not the target audience, the plot was occasionally boring, the romance (I am sorry) cringeworthy, and the narration made me feel like a usamerican teacher were reading to the class. The only thing that kept me listening at times was the fact that I already had the book.
The story did, however, get more interesting as it went on.
…I will probably listen to the next books…
