The way I gasped, giggled, screamed, and cried while reading this book... I wasn't ready for this! It was a fricking roller-coaster!! There were moments when I actively had to stop reading because I was overwhelmed (in a good way).
Since we had most of the world-building in The City of Brass, the story unravels at a faster pace. We see the characters grow, develop, and take sides in a slow-brewing war. They're so human, so flawed, so layered and morally grey. I... Fricking... LOVED IT!!
Some scenes felt a tad repetitive, that's why objectively I'd give the book 4.5 out of 5 stars, but I'm shamelessly rounding up to five stars because the reading experience was so good.
Can't wait to see what Empire of Gold has in storage for the conclusion of what has become one of my favourite trilogies ever.
