The City of Brass is the charming and magical debut from the very talented S.A. Chakraborty. Set in and around 19th century Egypt, this is a brilliant tale of political intrigue with its roots deeply seeped in Middle Eastern myth and lore. We’re introduced to a magnificent and diverse cast of characters - a con-woman of a mysterious and unknown lineage, a powerful djinn warrior of old, and a naïve prince who wants what’s best for his people - setting up for quite an interesting love triangle! The setting is richly historical and cultural, so vividly described and so completely immersive, a world you’ll definitely lose yourself in. I really enjoyed this entertaining story and cannot wait to continue my adventure in The Kingdom of Copper. I highly recommend.
