Well, I didn't expect this, but I liked The Kingdom of Copper even more than I liked The City of Brass.  I feel like while the earlier book establishes the world, the second takes both character development and politics to a new level: more excitement, more tension, more complexity.  I'm so glad I'm reading this series now, when all three books have been released, so that I don't have to wait for Book 3.

For the middle of a trilogy, this wasn't terrible. But I will say that it takes a while to get going. 

I don't like Muntadhir.
I have mixed feelings about Dara.
Ali has had great character development. 
And I know that Menizheh is definitely not the greatest person people think she's supposed to be.

A tad too long, but the last 100 pages had me on the edge of my seat. So curious to see how this is all gonna wrap up.

I love Ali, my murderous little cinnamon roll with little head for political strategy.
