Wow. Though higher in page number than the first book, I believe this second book in the Daevabad trilogy read much faster and in a much more enthralling way. 

The character development is just so good. I felt so completely drawn into the storyline and into the lives of those included.

Similar to the first book, I’d say the last 25-30% of this book has the height of action, though I didn’t feel as the first 65-70% ever really dragged on. It was quite captivating, IMO.  

Very excited to read the last book!

Ce deuxième livre est aussi bien que le premier, il est devient même drôle. On ne s'ennuie pas à un seul moment, les 700 pages sont avalées sans aucun accrochage (on peut également féliciter la traductrice). Le monde est clarifié dans celui ci et on découvre de nouveaux aspects. 
Pour les personnages, alors que je les appréciais dans le précédent, iels deviennent carrément attachants. Le développement de Nahri est fabuleux. Elle se prend enfin en main. Il y a beaucoup de femmes présentes dans celui ci, ce qui manquait dans le premier. Ali est encore plus engagé dans sa lutte anti classe à Daveabad. Dara commence à utiliser son cerveau et son bon sens tout en restant un ennemi terrifiant. 
Hâte de lire la suite !

A fascinating sequel to The City of Brass, this book quickly moves forward five years from the events of the previous book. Characters have matured, relationships are more complex, and the city of Daevabad is not always a balanced, safe place to be. 
The plot builds to a tense climax, and sets up new problems to be dealt with (hopefully!) in the next book. Which I look forward to reading!

I didn't think it was possible but this book got even better than the first! I loved the further dive into the politics of this world, and the cliffhanger ending nearly killed me. And my love for Nahri only seems to grow!

Really strong sequel to the first book! The last 40% had me GAGGED!! The world and character building is developed further in this book in a way that is done really well without any heavy info dumping. Plus it’s all paced so incredibly well. Can’t wait to read the third and final installment!!
