The City of Brass by S.A. Chakraborty

4.0

Can't remember where I found this book, maybe on a WaPo end of year list, but a nice surprise and an enjoyable new fantasy read. Definitely not perfect, a little long and wanders a bit and things just felt not quite fleshed out. Just a few chapters into the 2nd book and I think the whole first book feels like exposition (typical of a big new trilogy, lots of world building to fit in). Enjoy the main character, some nice twists and a very interesting world. I hope the author continues to expand the universe and magic system as I'm sure they will. Plan to finish the trilogy
