The City of Brass has been on my TBR for way too long: it's been recommended to me many times by folks whose reading preferences I trust, but I just never got around to it until now. I'm so glad I did -- I ended up buying the sequel before finishing. This has everything I look for in a fantasy series: political intrigue and scheming, compelling magic, multi-POV storytelling, solid world-building, high stakes maneuvering, and characters who are all ethically ambiguous at best. Definitely recommend.
