I had a wonderful time reading city of brass, it was truly a magical character. All of the characters are so complex and just very real in the way of I very much worried and cared for the most part about all the of them. Nahri is truly an interesting main character because she get swept up into the strange new magical world and is brought into this overwhelming political conflict between different tribes of being she didn’t even believe existed, but despite that this place offers her an opportunity to pursue a life long passion.  Also this books plot is very focused on the political conflict between the djinn tribe and does talk somewhat frequently about war and the harsh and horrifying reality of what happens during war, nothing too graphic but something to be aware of (hence the warning I added).
