This book is a wild ride from start to finish and if you enjoyed City of Brass I think you will absolutely love it's sequel.
I have finished the entire series and I believe that this book was my favorite of the trilogy.
I loved the development of all of the characters throughout this book. Every character has both lovable traits and flaws. The development of the world, its politics and social justice issues in particular, are incredibly interesting and complex. The magic of the world is engrossing and continues to be a delight.

This book was slightly slower than the first, however this isn't to say it was boring! It just focused a lot more on politics, deceit and alliances etc rather than big events however the ending picked it back up again. I specifically loved the development and storyline of Ali, cant wait for the next book!
