Review: The City of Brass by S. A. Chakraborty

Searching for magic, Middle Eastern mythology, and a literary action movie?

Grab a copy of The City of Brass by S. A. Chakraborty!


I believe I started and finished this in a weekend. The writing is so well-paced and exciting. Thrilling!

Gives you just enough exposition to get into the world and the set up.

The plot gets going quickly—and ends on a hell of a cliffhanger! This plot doesn’t stop! I already have the other two books in the series.

There’s one point early on where a Jewish character tells the protagonist something along the lines of: “My people have enough troubles without adding you to them”, which I think is funny.

You know who built a world and actually has an exciting writing style (besides our writing friends)? Shannon Chakraborty, author of The Daevabad Trilogy! Imagine if an action movie was a fantasy novel? That’s what reading The City of Brass is like!

“HFE, thank you for creating and sharing so much art and writing for free. How can we help turn your passion and skills into a full-time gig?”

I’m glad you asked!

If you can give me a one-time tip, head over to ko-fi. I’ve also got emotes and icons you can buy.

If you can commit to a monthly tip, you can set that up via twitch or patreon. Twitch also lets you set up alternate payment schedules: every three months and every six months. Ko-fi lets you set up monthly payments now, too!

You can also buy some characters and critters I’ve designed on toyhouse.

And if you have no money to spare (understandable), one way you can help me out is by commenting and using as many share buttons as possible. Commenting gives me feedback on what works y’all are passionate about. Sharing helps expose my works to new people. The bigger my audience grows, the more audience members with money will encounter my works.

Thank you for taking time to read this. I hope you enjoy what you’ve found here.
