Story
Nahri has never believed in magic. Certainly, she has power; on the streets of 18th-century Cairo, she’s a con woman of unsurpassed talent. But she knows better than anyone that the trades she uses to get by - palm readings, zars, and a mysterious gift for healing - are all tricks, both the means to the delightful end of swindling Ottoman nobles and a reliable way to survive. But when Nahri accidentally summons Dara, an equally sly, darkly mysterious djinn warrior, to her side during one of her cons, she’s forced to reconsider her beliefs.

Two years ago, Louise le Blanc fled her coven and took shelter in the city of Cesarine, forsaking all magic and living off whatever she could steal. There, witches like Lou are hunted. They are feared. And they are burned. As a huntsman of the Church, Reid Diggory has lived his life by one principle: Thou shalt not suffer a witch to live. But when Lou pulls a wicked stunt, the two are forced into an impossible situation - marriage. Lou, unable to ignore her growing feelings, yet powerless to change what she is, must make a choice. And love makes fools of us all.

For fifty years, she has trained to slay wyrms – but none have appeared since the Nameless One, and the younger generation is starting to question the Priory's purpose. To the north, in the Queendom of Inys, Sabran the Ambitious has married the new King of Hróth, narrowly saving both realms from ruin. Their daughter, Glorian, trails in their shadow – exactly where she wants to be. The dragons of the East have slept for centuries. Dumai has spent her life in a Seiikinese mountain temple, trying to wake the gods from their long slumber.

Publisher's Summary
"No series since George R.R. Martin’s A Song of Ice and Fire has quite captured both palace intrigue and the way that tribal infighting and war hurt the vulnerable the most." (Paste Magazine)
The final chapter in the best-selling, critically acclaimed Daevabad Trilogy, in which a con-woman and an idealistic djinn prince join forces to save a magical kingdom from a devastating civil war.
Daevabad has fallen.
After a brutal conquest stripped the city of its magic, Nahid leader Banu Manizheh and her resurrected commander, Dara, must try to repair their fraying alliance and stabilize a fractious, warring people.
But the bloodletting and loss of his beloved Nahri have unleashed the worst demons of Dara's dark past. To vanquish them, he must face some ugly truths about his history and put himself at the mercy of those he once considered enemies.
Having narrowly escaped their murderous families and Daevabad's deadly politics, Nahri and Ali, now safe in Cairo, face difficult choices of their own. While Nahri finds peace in the old rhythms and familiar comforts of her human home, she is haunted by the knowledge that the loved ones she left behind and the people who considered her a savior are at the mercy of a new tyrant. Ali, too, cannot help but look back, and is determined to return to rescue his city and the family that remains. Seeking support in his mother’s homeland, he discovers that his connection to the marid goes far deeper than expected and threatens not only his relationship with Nahri, but his very faith.
As peace grows more elusive and old players return, Nahri, Ali, and Dara come to understand that in order to remake the world, they may need to fight those they once loved...and take a stand for those they once hurt.

Amazing final instalment to a great trilogy
I am just said it’s over!! What a treat. I loved this trilogy. Amazing characters in a diverse world with such a good story.
I love how Chakraborty is able to make you relate, hate, love and just feel a lot for her characters and their unravelings. Not often you can feel sympathy for war criminals.
***Spoilers below****
My only thought is that I wished there was more info on the Pyris. They felt a bit thrown in at the end there. Wish there was more ties to them and their part in the first book. Just felt a bit hollow.
Also to all the Dara shippers- what?! Like no!!! Haha I am sooooo thrilled that Nahri and Ali begin a romance. I love Dara’s intense character but as a romantic partner- he’s awful c‘mon! Possessive, racist, violent, and blindly loyal even at signs of pure wickedness. Was so happy when Nahri fell out of love with him. He was a great addition to the story but Ali at his core is kind, thoughtful, and good man since his first scene. Also wish there was a bit more on their story at the end but looks like it’s left to make us all happy!

The third book does a great job tying everything together. I really enjoyed this series it’s really such an interesting journey it brings you along. Love the characters even the ones that frustrated me time and time again, the magic is consistent and makes sense for the story the writer is talented at making so much information easy to follow and yeah I’m sad it’s over but glad I read it!
