“The City of Brass” is the first in a trilogy written by S.A. Chakraborty. This novel follows Nahri, who lives in 18th century Cairo. One night while working on one of her cons, she accidentally summons a mysterious djinn warrior. The warrior takes Nahri to Daevabad, which is the legendary city of brass, which is the city that Nahri is permanently bounded to. The city's walls are walls laced with enchantments, and behind the six gates of the six djinn tribes, old resentments are festering.
I found the setting quite interesting. I also enjoyed learning about the djinn and the different beings of the four elements. The story was very interesting, and I enjoyed the novel, I gave the novel a 4/5 stars.
