    Took this out from my local library. As a general rule, because I live in an immensely small space, I only buy a book if I find myself re-reading it 2-3 times first. On my third read of City of Brass, I decided it was time to buy it for my collection.

    I really enjoy the world building here; there's a clear divide between worlds within the book, but their coexistence is explained simply and wonderfully. I found the characters rich and diverse, their motives interesting and less predictable than other novels of the same "found fantasy" genre, and though there IS a romantic subplot, it was not the main focus of the plot itself, and it didn't feel too forced.

    Read this book if you enjoy character-based journeys in richly cultured fantasy lands, a little political intrigue, and a lot of magic. If you like other, similar fantasy novels, you will love this one.
