The City of Brass by S.A. Chakraborty

4.0

 I buddy read this one with Erin. This book has been on my radar for a while, but I kept putting off reading it I think because I thought it was going to be too high fantasy for me. I'm glad Erin suggested we buddy read it because overall I did end up enjoying it. It is high fantasy, so I did have trouble keeping up with everything that we were being told. I mean there's a lot of characters not to mention all the different types of Djinns it was all just slightly too much for me. That being said though it wasn't so much that I couldn't keep up with the overall story. The characters themselves is what had me hooked. Also, I should mention that apparently this was the authors debut, and I had no idea that was the case until literally right now. I was left confused about some things in the end but I'm hoping book 2 will remedy that.
