Description
Return to Daevabad in the spellbinding sequel to THE CITY OF BRASS.
In Daevabad, where djinn can summon flames with a snap of their fingers, where rivers run deep with ancient magic, and blood can be as dangerous as any spell, a clever con artist from Cairo will alter the fate of a kingdom.
Nahri’s life changed forever when she accidentally summoned Dara, a formidable, mysterious djinn, during one of her schemes. Thrust into the dazzling royal court of Daevabad, she needed all of her grifter instincts to survive. Now, as Nahri embraces her heritage and her power, she must forge a new path.
Exiled for daring to defy his father, Ali is adrift on the unforgiving sands of his ancestral land, hunted by assassins and forced to rely on frightening new abilities that threaten to reveal a terrible family secret.
And as a new century approaches and the djinn gather within Daevabad's brass walls to celebrate, a power in the desolate north will bring a storm of fire straight to the city’s gates . . .

WOW, never did I think this book could be better than the first but I was so very very wrong.
The book picks up 5 years after The City of Brass into a world where Nahri is married to the Emir, Ali is banished and everything is just started to go downhill.
Like the last it takes you on an emotional roller coaster, the characters feel like your friends and you grieve along with this. I would recommend this series, it is one of the best I have ever read, such an immersive world. Chakraborty obviously took so much time to create and refine it and the characters it almost feels real.
I am so excited for the last one, it will be worth the wait I know!

Fantastic read, fantasy, enjoyable storyline and likeable characters. I highly recommend this book. Thanks to Netgalley and the publisher for giving me an ARC in exchange for an unbiased review.

I’ve got a problem. I usually approach reviews calmly and rationally, with a vague idea of what I want to talk about and what my point of view is. But I’m not sure I can do that for The Kingdom of Copper. I’m too busy reacting incoherently to it.
In a nutshell: epic sequel is epic. If you loved the first one, this is every bit as good. You’re not going to be able to breathe at the end, and it’s going to be a very long year waiting for the final book. But don't let that put you off reading it as soon as possible, because this is one of the best series out there and you deserve it in your life.
I love the oh-so-relevant questions the Daevabad trilogy asks: can a society move on from past injustices to take a new, inclusive, fairer shape – in the face of resistance from traditionalists? Can peace be forged in spite of atrocities by modern-day extremists? What acts can we forgive in the name of the greater good? Forget whether the ends justify the means – can we even agree what ends are acceptable? And it wraps all this up in gorgeous, immersive world-building and peoples it with vibrant, compelling characters who leap off the page to steal your heart.
This is thoughtful, sometimes provocative fantasy for our times.

😱 words just cannot express the feels in this book! It takes place a few years after the first and jumps you straight back into the lives of the characters we all loved in the first book! This series has become on of my favourites and I am recommending it to anyone and everyone! An emotional roller coaster of thrills. Loved it. Absolutely enthralling.
Thank you Netgalley!!!!
