A review by stormwise
The Kingdom of Copper by S.A. Chakraborty

adventurous tense

4.5

A fantastic sequel to The City of Brass! Taking place five years after the events of the first book, Chakraborty doesn't hesitate to throw us back into the plots and machinations of the djinn. The worldbuilding continues to amaze me - realistic without being "gritty" and still maintaining a wondrous quality that pulls you in. 

Nahri and Ali, our POV characters, have matured and grown during the time skip,
and Dara is introduced as a third viewpoint.
The clashing perspectives allow us to see all sides of the political struggle - and shows how the unending exchange of violence in the name of revenge ultimately prevents Daevabad's society from thriving. 

Fantasy fans, please check out the Daevabad trilogy! I can't wait to read the final book.
