Truly a gift for those who wanted some perspectives of Muntadhir, Jamsheid or Zaynab.

↠ Book #1: The City of Brass Review ★★★★★
↠ Book #2: The Kingdom of Copper Review ★★★★★
I decided to read this right after The Kingdom of Copper so that the last thing I read of this series and characters is whatever finale The Empire of Gold ends up having.
Although I usually get extremely bored over short stories, I don’t regret this decision in the slightest, because most of these extra scenes were gems that I was beyond excited I got access to, especially the last 3 Nahri, Ali and Zaynab POVs!! *starry eyes*
And, now, I’m even more anxious to jump to the third and final book of this wonderful series!

The 181-page pdf wasn't as much as the average daevabad novel, but it was definitely worth everything considered that the author even put it on her website free of any purchase!! Like that's the best thing I've ever known!!
Anyway, I'm really hoping for more POV's and really awesome stories in the final and corrected version!! Can't wait to read that!!
Spoiler
While I must confess, the only two things I really hoped to be present in this book was a little bit more on Rustam and Duriya and the al Qahtani siblings (other than Ali). While the latter was fulfilled, in a way, I really wanted to read more of Rustam and Duriya. There were small snippets that hinted them; Manizheh's first chapter where Rustam appears in the near end. And also when Muntadhir "gifts" Nahri Rustam's belongings, which included a painting of Duriya beside a jute plant. I know the fact that it really was her mum wasn't mentioned; this was released a month before The Empire of Gold after all; I can't help but start fangirling on that little mention. XDDDAnyway, I'm really hoping for more POV's and really awesome stories in the final and corrected version!! Can't wait to read that!!

That was literally perfect.
I've been putting off reading this because once it was over, so was Daevabad. But holy fuck was it good; the bonus content I didn't know I NEEDED.
I cried because of course I did. This series, man. THE BEST.
