But I am so glad I did, this book had me hooked very early on. I loved the setting, and how they transitioned for one to another. Even given all the conflicts I would love to be able to visit Daevabad. Nahri was a great main character, she was sassy and adapted well. She did not give up on her goals easily and was always looking out for herself.
I have read reviews saying this book is slow. Whilst there is not action on every page it does flow well gives a lot of depth and world building to the story (but not too much in my opinion). I did get confused a few times at the different factions, but I was reading this after long shifts so that might have had something to do with it, (so not going to hold it against the book).
Ali was also a great character, he gave a different side to the story and the dynamics of Daevabad. I thought his views were interesting if not a little niave for his station. It was good to see how he grew throughout the book though.
Dara I was unsure what to make of him, he seemed to change a few times throughout the book and I could not work out which was the real Dara. I am looking forward to see what else we can find out about his history in the next book.
Overall I realy enjoyed this book and am very much looking forward to reading the next one. It is sitting on my coffee table waiting paitenly for me to finish a few ARC's before diving in.
