‘the city of brass’ handed me a map and started me off on an enticingly ambitious journey. ‘the kingdom of copper’ had me at a fork in the road, unable to choose a path as i did not know my destination. ‘the empire of gold’ has rewarded me for my struggles and has shown me that the journey, no matter the obstacles, is worth it. this book is the X on the map, the lost city of wonder, the hidden oasis in the desert. it is the final resting point at which a traveller can see just how far

This was literally perfect

I love this trilogy so much it’s unrealMore thoughts on my YouTube channel https://youtu.be/8NtUPX_koyYEmpire of Gold was truly a perfect finale in my opinion, it expanded the world so beautifully, it answered all my questions and even a few new ones I never thought to ask. It had adventure and plot twists and character development, and everything else I could have wanted from this wonderfully whimisical fantasy series. The way that Chakraborty is also able to naviagate discussions of the cyclic...

I honestly can't even *imagine* what direction this book will take after the events of book #2 but I AM SO FREAKING EXCITED and it'll 100% worth however damn long the wait is. I just want my children (ALI AND NAHRI) happy and safe

This book was like those songs that start slow, almost soundless, but that just go up and up until you cannot not hear them. This series made me realize that love is powerful, it can get you through a lot and make you stronger. But it's not everything. Friendship and family are always there when love is challenged. I thought i couldn't read more about Nahri and Dara being apart, but the fact that I enjoyed, that I loved them being in love but apart, just reminds me that you can do everything you...

SO GOOD. I LOVED THIS SERIES OMG.

I received an E-ARC of the book through Edelweiss in exchange for an honest review. Actual Rating: 4.7/5 rounded up to a full 5! If you know me at all you’ll know how much this series means to me. I’ve fallen in love with this world and characters since the first book released and I’ve been waiting desperately – and nervously – for the final book.Now that I’ve read it I can definitely say that it solidifies the trilogy as one of my all time favorite book series ever. The book was filled with

Do you know how many times I’ve had to do this? Forget healing, my specialty should be having my life destroyed and then being forced to rebuild from nothing. ---------------------------------------Yet everything was just a touch off. There were empty spaces where conjured buildings should have stood, ugly pockmarks on the skyline. The brass walls were tarnished, the edifices—on closer inspection—riddled with missing bricks and blackened mortar. Defying any weather pattern Nahri knew, somehow

Update 22/7/20. Removing half a star. With a bit of time to reflect, I definitely preferred the second book and can't justify giving this one the same rating ***MAJOR SPOILERS***City of Brass 3 ⭐Kingdom of Copper 3.5 ⭐Empire of Gold 3 ⭐Daevabad Trilogy = 9.5/15 ⭐Firstly, Congratulations to S.A.Chakraborty on completing her debut trilogy, what a fantastic and hard-earned achievement!‘Empire of Gold’, despite suffering in the end, from a generic storyline, some under-developed and clichéd charact

You ever hesitate to pick up an especially long book? Like, you want to read it but then you see that page count? This was that book. But I'm so glad I did read it.S.A. Chakraborty managed to create a concluding novel that brings so much new history and lore to her world, and yet manages to perfectly wrap up the story she had began to tell in The City of Brass.In this book, the stakes are raised tenfold. The throne of Daevabad is at stake and the lives of every person in the city are in the bala...

I am not okay.

Super update: 4/16/2020 Just got the ARC! 😂 Time to put the money where my mouth isUpdate: 1/14/2020I still stand by what I said. 2/19/2019:Nahri and Ali better not get together romantically or I will revolt.

That was one hell of joy, i cannot rate this below 5⭐️ really, i love everysingle word.. everysingle moment... basically EVERYTHING from page one until the end, this is the conlusion i was hoping for even beyond! I laughed, i cried, i screamed, i wept, i cheered, i message all my friends who already read this and fangirling with them! ALL THE FEELS This is such a emotional review i know, but i don't want to say much about it beside.. just gooo gooo read it if you haven't Thank you S.A Chakrabor...

❥ 5 / 5 stars Reading this trilogy is the best decision I’ve ever made so far this year. ♡︎ I love it. I love this trilogy so much I couldn’t put into words. It gave me tears sometimes, yes, but it also brought me so much joy. I don’t even know if I’ll be able to move on from this exceptional and amazing world since I feel like I’m completely bound to it and every single character in it already.

This was everything! 😍😍I will not claim to have understood everything but I loved it nonetheless! 🥰The end to this trilogy was everything I could have asked for. The extensive world building is expanded even further, the characters are pushed to the absolute limit. The conclusion was just perfect. I feel like I can’t go into it without spoilers but everything that unfurled I was pleased with. I’m not going to yammer on because I’m just all gush and no substance. Just. If you enjoy epic fantasy t...

anyway this series is dead to me, dara i’ll get you out of there!!!!!!!!!Update: 08/08/20 - Every time I think about this book, the more disappointment I feel and I want to take off yet another star, so here we are at a 2. Had it not been for Dara's arc and chapters, it may as well have been a 1. :) Everyone say thank you Darayavahoush e-Afshin for carrying this series on his back.If you really want to know why this conclusion sucked, here's a 10k word long post with all my many grievances. Very...

Quick confession: When I saw the page numbers of the book, I draw the blanket on my face and try to hide from the book. Nearly 800 pages! I’m so happy it was not a paperback, I’m holding right now! I don’t want to look like wrestler after finishing my reading (I was looking like giant when I finished Dark Tower series of Stephen King book! It gave me cries to look at my triceps!) Of course the other two books of the installment were long, too but when I start reading something (and you may guess...

I can't be the only one who ships Ali and Nahri, right? 😭Update: (view spoiler)[ YESSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSS (hide spoiler)]

A 2020 Goodreads Choice finalist in Fantasy! It’s really no secret how much I’ve adored this series. From the moment we met Nahri in The City of Brass, I knew this was going to be a special story. I’d like to just take a beat and thank Shannon Chakraborty for transporting us into a world of her own imagining; I feel truly lucky to have been able to experience her creation.“Creator, every time I think I’ve found the bottom in all of this, I get some new story of murder and vengeance.”But for t
