4.0

Albeit, a slow start, but the story definitely picks up the pace 30% in. As always, Chakraborty tells Middle Eastern mythology/fantasy in a wonderful way. There’s plenty of world building, which may get difficult to navigate, especially if aspects of Middle Eastern folklore is unfamiliar to you. Still, it is all the more enthralling to get introduced and be familiarized with these aspects! 

Very easily want to read the rest of the series, and am definitely wanting to know what happens next for the characters. I’m hooked, and can’t wait to explore more of the world of Daevabad.
