By the Book: Book Club March 2021 - The City of Brass

The first instalment in the Daevabad trilogy, The City of Brass sets up the story of Nahri, a girl with special abilities who may not be what she always thought she was, Ali, a prince chafing against his own ethics and the long-held beliefs of his city, and Dara, a being with a tragic past. And it blends it all up with fantasy, Middle Eastern mythology, and a tightly plotted story. We discuss this book for our March Book Club, and in Footnotes, discuss the joy and anxiety of reading trilogies and series.
