[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I was one of the (many?) readers somewhat disappointed in the Fourth Wing last month... but finally found my escapist fix in different DCUM rec,[b] City of Brass by S. A. Chakraborty.[/b] It's some sort of fabulous mishmash of Middle Eastern mythology, family saga, political potboiler and magical coming of age story.  I read the first two books in the trilogy and now am almost mourning the fact that the second one is already done...

(One warning is that the first book starts off a little uninspired: the main character begins as a plucky street thief tricking the gullible - who then meets a "genie".  I was inwardly groaning and I thinking, hmmm, I've watched this story before in a ... Disney movie.  But get another couple chapters in and you're a million miles away from "Aladdin"!)[/quote]

Have you read The Adventures of Amina al Surafi by the same author? It's amazing. 40-something protagonist is a retired pirate who gets her old crew back together for a job. Epic quest, humor, great all around book![/quote]
