The City of Brass has been on my TBR for way too long: it's been recommended to me many times by folks whose reading preferences I trust, but I just never got around to it until now.  I'm so glad I did -- I ended up buying the sequel before finishing.  This has everything I look for in a fantasy series: political intrigue and scheming, compelling magic, multi-POV storytelling, solid world-building, high stakes maneuvering, and characters who are all ethically ambiguous at best.  Definitely recommend.

Minor: Sexual assault

Only brief, infrequent mentions of sexual assault, nothing graphic. Described in relation to the cruelty of war.
