Hands down one of my favorite fantasies ever! SA Chakraborty is an author to watch. The City of Brass is a unique, layered, richly detailed fantasy. The characters provide ample moments of humor in the midst of heart-pounding adventure. The political complications throughout the novel – from the variety of djinn races, to the fascinating mythological creatures, to cultural and historical clashes – only heighten the emotional intensity between Nahri and her djinn warrior Dara. Avid readers of historical fantasy from Juliet Marillier, Katherine Arden, and Naomi Novik will enjoy this Middle Eastern debut, inspired by one of the stories from 1001 Nights.
