Ali, meanwhile, is a warrior and second son to the king. Daughter to a long dead queen, last in a royal family of oppressive leaders Nahri returns to the city her ancestors built to meet the rulers who defeated her family. But when a Djinn appears, magical and angry, she enters the world she is meant to belong in. Swindling on the streets of Cairo to survive with gifts she doesn’t understand Nahri is poor, desperate and powerful. Although it’s inticing location and wealth of world building makes it unique and captivating the novels complex history and backstory gives the reader a steep learning curve while presenting a complex and almost over detailed realm. The City of Brass is an intoxicating, magical and creative tale presenting a unique fantasy setting, compelling characters linked by an efficacious plot.
