Empire of Gold

S.A. Chakraborty

Book 3 of The Daevabad Trilogy

Finally this becomes a fantasy epic. For the first time, we are following 3 different storylines that are enticing. The pacing is perfect. When we are switched to a new storyline, we are ready and each switch pushes all three stories forward. We get enough origin history to finally understand character motivation and everything resolves. The basic plot summary follows Ali and Nahri as they find a way to return to Daevabad and rescue the city. There is a cost for every character as they choose redemption, either for themselves or for their people or their city. But there is also payoff in these choices. This final volume is so good that I fully recommend the entire series. 

4 stars (out of 4)
