A whole different vibe from the first book, this was depressing, political, gray characters, but we learn more about our three main perspectives. There is still adventure especially the last 100 pages, the author knows how to write an epic fantasy world.

I loved learning  what happened to our characters and we are thrust 5 years into the future where Nahri discovers more about her past yet she is trapped in the royal walls while Prince Ali was exiled and no longer wishes to return to Daevabad, but something or someone may force him. Again this was unputdownable and again this author creates relatable characters, issues that matter, politics, and a beautiful landscape. I am looking forward to reading the third installment of this trilogy.
