The City of Brass : 4 stars


It was a really strong first book, tho its 500+ pages felt long (especially the first half), but I never was "bored".
The author introduces nicely this fantasy world and its characters, mixing fantasy, "djinn" (or Daevas), mythology, religion, politics, (even some romance) very well.
I really liked Nahri, she pretty much raised herself on the streets and counts on her wits to survive, she can be cunning and brave and is thrown into this unknown world has to navigate politics and powers.. I can't wait to see her more in the future books.

A lot is revealed at the end and in the epilogue, making me très interested in reading the next book^^
