Chakraborty manages what many epic fantasy writers have never achieved: a world where everyone can see themselves not only mirrored, but powerful. --New York Journal of Books It was a treat to return to Chakraborty's richly drawn world. [...] engaging, satisfying, and left me looking forward to what comes next. --The Speculative Shelf No series since George R.R. Martin's A Song of Ice and Fire has quite captured both palace intrigue and the way that tribal infighting and war hurt the vulnerable the most. --Paste Magazine [The Kingdom of Copper] is epic fantasy that is shrunk to the perspective of the individual. If you're looking for a compelling, heart-rending drama that just happens to also be one of the most thought-provoking epic fantasies to come out in a long time, look no further. --BookPage With a richly immersive setting and featuring complex familial, religious, and racial ties and divides, Chakraborty's second book in the trilogy wraps readers in a lush and magical story that takes over all the senses. --Library Journal (starred review) With gorgeous world building, compelling characters, and clashing schemes, the second in Chakraborty's Daevabad trilogy will thrill her many fans. --Booklist (starred review) Chakraborty plunges right back into the action set up in The City of Brass [...] This intriguing fantasy series appears to be well on its way to an exciting conclusion. --Publishers Weekly (starred review) The second installment of Chakraborty's stunningly rendered Middle Eastern fantasy trilogy...As good or better than its predecessor: promise impressively fulfilled. --Kirkus Reviews (starred review)
