The Empire of Gold: Book 3 (The Daevabad Trilogy)

Product Information

To be fair, the stark tonal shifts between the Dara chapters, with their despair and torture, to the more adventurous feel of the Ali/Nahri stuff does take a bit of getting used to. Forewarned is forearmed and all. I've always liked Hatset, Ali's mother, for her fierce love and protectiveness toward her children. In fact, I've always liked all of Ali's family (minus his murderous father). Zaynab and Muntadhir play minor roles but strong roles. The interference of the Peris towards the end of the novel seemed a bit out of place to me. I have a strong suspicion that it was a late addition to the story as a convenient means to give Nahri a way of reclaiming the power of the Suleiman’s seal. I did like how she cheated them though, that was a great representation of the side of her that will always be the ‘little thief’ from the streets of Cairo. Also, the late cutesy introduction of Mishmish the Shedu (Face-palm). You can’t introduce a pet in the last tiny part of a book. One, we have no time to gain an affection for the animal and two, it’s obvious that he/she has only been added to make Nahri’s survival more believable when she confronts Dara, Manizeh, 2 Ifrits and an army of ghouls/Smoke creatures…. Ha! It’s actually funnier every time I think about it. Dara and Manizheh learn that Jamshid poisoned Ali. Kaveh confides in Dara and they talk about what is to come. I do not believe ambitious men who say the only route to peace and prosperity lies in giving them more power—particularly when they do it with lands and people who are not theirs.

The Empire of Gold“, за да позабравя повечето от прочетените неща през ноември 2020 и с ново вълнение се впуснах в новия ми прочит на „Империя от злато“. (Макар и да съм я чел на английски, винаги ми е много приятно да прочета същата книга и на български, нашият език си носи своя собствена красота). After a brutal conquest stripped the city of its magic, Nahid leader Banu Manizheh and her resurrected commander, Dara, must try to repair their fraying alliance and stabilize a fractious, warring people.I have to admit: The strongest thing about the book is its unique, impeccably detailed, layered, well-crafted characterization. Interestingly one of my favorite characters is Dara. I know his POV was darker, more gruesome and depressing when you compare with other two POVS but I found those parts more realistic, stunning and vivid. The emotional part of the story fed by slow burn Alizayd and Nahri’s romance. I enjoyed the characters’ development and their inner journeys. They grew, they lost, they hurt, they ached and experienced versions of them were much brighter and likable. This series made me realize that love is powerful, it can get you through a lot and make you stronger. But it's not everything. Friendship and family are always there when love is challenged. I thought i couldn't read more about Nahri and Dara being apart, but the fact that I enjoyed, that I loved them being in love but apart, just reminds me that you can do everything you want, that you can be a Nahri in a world of Manizehs. this book is the X on the map, the lost city of wonder, the hidden oasis in the desert. it is the final resting point at which a traveller can see just how far they have come, understand just how much they learned and grew from the challenges they faced, all while being surrounded by old friends and new ones they made along the way. I’m sorry, I wasn’t aware anyone else was supposed to be here” she apologized, straightening her uniform, her golden eyes trailed on the boy in front of her, silently counting the distance between the two and praying it was enough.

Here's the second chapter where I finally introduce Keisuke, although he is dead in this timeline, he is still a very important character that will be mentioned throughout the story on numerous occasions. The Magistrate is the general council overseeing the society of sorcerers, as simply referring to them as the 'higher-ups' like canon does did not sit well with me. Dara threatens the marid and asks them to allow passage into Daevabad through the lake. He also asks if they can transform the water to bring the guard tower down. It’s the Japanese art of repairing broken pottery by mending the areas of breakage with metals, usually gold, although silver and other materials can be used to” she whispered in his ear, her breath hot against his skin. Ali fights his way through using his new water powers, and eventually bumps into Vizaresh, the ifrit from Cairo, and Dara. Empire of Gold’, despite suffering in the end, from a generic storyline, some under-developed and clichéd characters, one particularly unconvincing relationship and some all too convenient plot points, is an enjoyable climax to a solid debut series that a lot of people are going to love… Ha! I said enjoyable climax.

Muntadhir is angry with Ali. Ghassan sends him out of the room, then tells Ali he is to stay in the city for seven months until Navasatem is over. So when he pushed the wooden door and found himself face to face with Kinzoku Mikazuki, he almost winced.

Navasatem finally arrives and the hospital is opened. Nahri comes across a sleeping Ali, who has been having nightmares. This was how their relationship had always been. Nothing personal, always keeping each other at arm’s length, always careful to count the steps between them, making sure there were enough. They could laugh together, they could speak to each other, but nothing was ever real. The story follows Nahri, a young thief who discovers she is only half human, thanks to the intervention of Darayavahoush al-Afshin, former protector of her ancestors, the Nahids, in the magical Djinn city of Daevabad, which had been taken over by the al-Qahtani family after much bloodshed. Mikazuki knows exactly what the clan expects from her. She is twenty-eight, extremely powerful, beautifully deadly and unmarried. blogtour Adventure Ancient Egypt Art History Australia Book Blogger Bookliterati Book Recommendation Book review Christmas Contemporary Fiction Crime Del Rey Doubleday Emmeline Kirby and Gregory Longdon Mystery Fantasy Festive Reads Florence Folklore Harper Collins Historical Fiction History Independently Published Italy Karen Swan Literary Fiction Magic Mantle Books Melville House Murder Mystery Myth Orenda Books Pan Macmillan Penguin Random House Psychological thriller Romance Secrets Simon and Schuster Supernatural Suspense thriller Venice Women's Fiction Zaffre Books Book title Search for: Search Search Recent Comments
