If you relished how Nahri and Prince Alizayd navigate Daevabad’s poisonous banquets, competing tribes, and shadowy councils in The City of Brass, you’ll love the knife‑edged etiquette and backroom maneuvering in The Goblin Emperor. Like Nahri’s cautious steps among the Daeva and Geziri, Maia must outthink lethal courtiers, uncover conspiracies, and survive a palace that smiles as it plots.

Captivated by Nahri’s accidental summoning of Dara, the Nahid healing arts, and the ifrit-haunted history of Daevabad in The City of Brass? A Master of Djinn revels in that same tapestry of jinn, angels, and old bargains—only in a gloriously reimagined Cairo. You’ll find secret societies, ancient pacts that bite back, and investigators untangling the kind of otherworldly crimes that echo Daevabad’s buried sins.

If the layered history of Daevabad—the Nahid legacy, Daeva traditions, shafit oppression, and the rules that bind djinn—hooked you in The City of Brass, The Bone Shard Daughter offers that same immersive depth. Its bone-shard constructs, island empires, and competing loyalties mirror the richness of Daevabad’s clans and courts, with revelations that land like Nahri’s discovery of her lineage.

If you were drawn to the moral tightropes in The City of Brass—Ali’s piety colliding with realpolitik, Dara’s bloody past clashing with Nahri’s hopes, and compromises forged in Daevabad’s throne room—then The Traitor Baru Cormorant will grip you. Baru infiltrates an empire the way Ali and Nahri must play their factions, making devastating choices that echo the series’ most fraught betrayals.

If the dual perspectives of Nahri and Ali—each revealing different truths about Daevabad’s faith, power, and unrest—kept you turning pages in The City of Brass, The Jasmine Throne will feel like home. Multiple viewpoints collide as a captive princess and a loyalist soldier spark a rebellion, building the same slow-burn tension you felt when Nahri’s betrothal and Ali’s secrets set the city on edge.
