How and why I let this book sit on my shelf for so long is beyond me.
The City of Brass series will forever go down as one of my favorite fantasy series and one of the best series I read in 2023. However, Amina’s story is pulling its own weight.
Chakraborty’s writing is unmatched. Informational, comical, emotional, and so unbelievably thorough. I’ve seen that the next book in the series is set for September 2025, so it looks like I’ll be anxiously awaiting Amina’s story until then.
My only critique is that there was no character glossary like The City of Brass had. Chakraborty’s complex characters need a little organization. But, considering the last chapter, I understand why some names could not be identified.
