This debut fantasy novel is truly splendid, embedding the 18th century Middle East with the magic of the djinn. Nahri is a con artist making her living on the streets of Cairo.
That is, until she accidentally summons a djinn. But Daevabad is filled with political instability. The djinn tribe that historically ruled Daevabad but no longer religiously supported the inferiority of those with human ancestry and banned the mingling of blood.
Their royal family was renown for being supernatural healers, but the last of them died years ago. Or so everyone thought. At this point you can probably see how dropping Nahri into Daevabad is akin to dropping a lit match into a barrel of gunpowder. Chakraborty excels at writing political fantasy and courtly intrigue. Since the story type is sort of familiar plucky orphan girl discovers she has magical powers and an important position in a royal courtI was worried that it could end up seeming tired.
I never felt that way at all. I loved the world Chakraborty created. I particuarly liked how Chakraborty created different tribes of djinn, each with their own culture, history, powers, and tensions with the other tribes.
His idealism threatens to get him into trouble more than once. In short, I found him to be a very complex character, and by the end of The City of Brass, he was clearly my favorite. Oh, there was some. Dara, the djinn who Nahri first meets, is remarkably handsome. Believe me, Nahri lets us know. Yes, he has tragedies in his past, but I still found him to be one of those annoyingly possessive alpha male type love interests. The beginning of The City of Brass might have been a bit slow, but by the second half I had trouble putting it down, city of brass chakraborty audiobook download free.
Review originally posted on The Illustrated Page. I received an ARC in exchange for a free and honest review. File under pretty damn good but not quite great. This work of adventure, social conflict and court intrigue set in an Islamic supernatural demi-monde has, as it's biggest problem, too many moments where I felt a situation was set up to be a data dump and I suspect that the more you've read about Muslim world history on your own the better off you'll be.
That said, Charaborty's main character, the con woman and healer Nehri, is very cool and at the end of the book when it appears that she has been cornered, defeated by events and given an offer she can't refuse one gets the sense that the story is really just beginning, city of brass chakraborty audiobook download free. It is to be admitted that those bored with hearing about social conflict in the contemporary Muslim world will also be bored with this book as I don't doubt that current events also are at the back of this novel.
This is the first book in the Daevabad Trilogy. I was really looking forward to reading this book and had heard many good things about it. I listened to this on audiobook and the narration was well done.
If you enjoy audiobooks this is a well done one. The story goes back and forth between Nahri and Alizard. Nahri is a thief with an interesting healing talent who accidentally summons Dara, a djinn warrior. As Nahri learns about her past she ends up embarking on a journey with Dara to a magical djinn city.
Alizard Aliis a Prince of Daevabad. I loved the beginning of this book. Nahri is a fun character with interesting talents but it felt like she left Cairo way too quickly.
Her journeys with Dara are entertaining and introduce us to some intriguing magical races. The djinn were depressingly human-like in their pettiness and very little discussion about their magical talents was included in the story.
Things really slowed down for me when Nahri and Dara get to Daevabad. Suddenly Nahri loses all personality and Dara is hardly in the story at all.
We mostly watch the noble djinn be cruel to Nahri and watch Ali be very wishy washy as he oscillates between trying to please his father and trying to stay true to his beliefs.
I suddenly realized I was avoiding listening to this book and that I still had another 7 hours to go in the story. It made me groan in dread. This book needed much better pacing.
Overall the beginning of this book was pretty amazing; I loved the characters, city of brass chakraborty audiobook download free adventure, and the world. However it went downhill quickly in the middle of the book.
