Well, I didn't expect this, but I liked The Kingdom of Copper even more than I liked The City of Brass.  I feel like while the earlier book establishes the world, the second takes both character development and politics to a new level: more excitement, more tension, more complexity.  I'm so glad I'm reading this series now, when all three books have been released, so that I don't have to wait for Book 3.

Second in a trilogy, and I didn’t like it quite as much as the first, but it was still very enjoyable! (I think it dragged just a bit too much at the beginning for me.) I liked how the political intrigue played out and you see the characters respond to their situations. Many characters, especially Nahri and Ali, are given real development. I like that none of the characters are perfect, sometimes morally grey, sometimes just stupid. I don’t always like how their choices, but I still find them believable.
Nahri’s choices still drive me crazy sometimes and WTF @Dara how could you make the same monumental mistake a second time. I love Ali’s passion but like damn sometimes someone just needs to put a hand over his mouth! Ghassan deserved worse. I still hope for the best for Jamshid and Muntadhir, but this hope might hurt me later… Maybe a hot take, but Ali deserves Nahri far more than Dara.
