Bericht

"Chakraborty writes a winning heroine in Nahri-flawed but smart and engaging. And her portrayal of the cultural conflicts in the magical city of Daevabad and of Ali's inner turmoil is compelling and complex, serving as a strong counterpoint to the thrilling action." - Washington Post on City of Brass
"Chakraborty combines the plot's many surprises with vivid prose, and leavens the action with wry humor. There is enough material here-a feisty, independent lead searching for answers, reminiscent of Star Wars's Rey, and a richly imagined alternate world-to support a potential series." - Publishers Weekly on City of Brass
"With musical prose, majestic settings, and an epic story, Chakraborty's finale to a trilogy will ignite passion in her many fans. Fervidly recommended to all readers of the fantasy genre." - Booklist (starred review) on Empire of Gold

- Publishers Weekly
"Chakraborty's first book in her in Daevabad Trilogy introduces an enchanting world of magic and treachery that will leave you clamoring for book two." - Paste Magazine
"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

"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
