The Kingdom of Copper by S.A. Chakraborty

5.0

EDIT: Giving it 5 stars bc It's just too good! It gets better every reread.

Great continuation of the series! Although it does fall victim to the same pacing issues as the first installment, specifically the first half of the book is rather slow, it definitely picks up in the second.

Some thougths:
I was surprised and delighted at the time jump.

Nahri is still a badass and I loved the more mature cunning version of her, also she is probably one of the strongest Fmc I’ve read in a long time. The way she must navigate her world is nothing short of admirable.

Ali had some of the best character growth in the book and I was here for it. Even though he is decidedly terrible at timing he at least has the strongest back bone in the city.

Muntadir was really disappointing and I still was so sad at the end for him and then genuinely relieved. Also I love Jamshid.

Finally Dara….. this is the character that caused me the most emotion in the form of frustration and anger! I’m so disappointed in him.

I’m ready for the conclusion of this amazing trilogy. Let’s do it.
