6/21/2023 0 Comments The daevabad trilogyCertainly, she has power on the streets of 18th century Cairo, she’s a con woman of unsurpassed talent. The City of Brass (Daevabad #1) by S.A Chakraborty If you haven’t read the first book and don’t want to be spoiled for the later ones, don’t read past the first review. I grew up with djinn stories, passed down over generations from family members or through my own extensive research (sometimes to the point where I would scare myself to insomnia), so this world felt almost personal to me. I think any fantasy lover would appreciate the world she crafted but it was extra special to me because of all the references to Islamic folklore. The writing is beautiful, the characters are very well developed and the world Chakraborty creates is fantastic (literally and figuratively).Ĭhakraborty has said that she wrote this series for her fellow Muslim fantasy geeks (hehe that’s me) and it shows. I will say that overall, this series was a solid five stars and has risen its way to become one of the best fantasy series I’ve ever read. I ended up binge reading this entire series in the span of 4 days so the events of each book have blurred over for me.
