In The Kingdom of Copper, a healer tries to navigate living under the tyrannical rule of her father-in-law and king, an exiled prince relies on his new frightening abilities in order to survive, and a dark threat draws nearer the city of Daevabad. The world building in this installment and series is phenomenal, with lush descriptions, captivating city politics, and tense magical action. The characters have complex personalities and struggle in achieving their quests for morality and justice. Reunions are worth the wait and interpersonal conflicts are entertaining. The third character/perspective is not as interesting but is necessary to understand the storyline's looming threat. The Kingdom of Copper is a thrilling fantasy read.
