A solid installment in the series
With the aftermath of events in The City of Brass in recent memory, can Nahri build bridges and forge a new future for her people?
The Kingdom of Copper is the second book in the Daevabad Trilogy, you can see my 4* review of The City of Brass, which is the first in the series here - https://www.kindig.co.uk/post/review-the-city-of-brass. Overall I enjoyed this second installment although I did feel like it suffered from second-book-in-a-trilogy syndrome in some respects as parts of the middle of the plot felt a little like filler and it didn't move forward much until the end but it was still a solid read. I had lamented the fact that Nahri seemed to lose her personality around men in the first book, particularly with the Dara plotline but this didn't seem to happen much in this book. Admittedly this may be because Dara has much less of a part in this book which I thought was a bit of a shame as he gets a lot more interesting in this plotline!
As in the first book, I felt there were a few things that could have been explained in better detail. Relics, for example become quite a big feature in this book - especially bringing up the fact that everyone wears one which is something I had not picked up on or remembered from the previous book. As with the first book, the ending is an action packed cliff-hanger and I'm excited to see the conclusion of this trilogy when the next one is released.
Over The Kingdom of Copper is a solid next installment of the Deavabad Trilogy and I'm looking forward to Book 3. Thank you to NetGalley & Harper Collins UK - HarperVoyager for the chance to read the ARC in exchange for an honest review.
