Ebook About “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 MagazineThe final chapter in the bestselling, 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.Book The Empire of Gold: A Novel (The Daevabad Trilogy Book 3) Review :
So I'm a big fan of this series since the first books, and though the end of book 2 left Chakraborty with a lot of loose ends to tie up, I was confident this would be the fitting end to the series all the other amazon reviewers seem to think it is. It's not. Now before I get into my criticism, I have to emphasize Chakraborty's actual writing skills are great, the prose is beautiful, the descriptions come alive, the dialogue feels authentic. She's very talented. But while this is a well-written book, it is not written well. Why, you may ask?SPOILERS AHEADThe book makes absolutely no sense and there are several developments in the plot that are cheap, made for shock value, and add nothing to the story. None of the characters act like real people or make realistic decisions.Characters repeatedly and blatantly act against their own interests. We learn at one point that Dara committed the atrocities at Quizi because the Nahids told him to. Only when he returned the Nahids immediately banished him. You would think being betrayed by the very people he had done the unthinkable to serve would have made him stop serving the Nahids, that he might even have a grudge against them. But no. Throughout the story he continually acts as Manizhehs weapon, killing hundreds upon hundreds of innocents despite how deeply guilty he feels, because she's a Nahid. Then, when he finds out that she's been lying and manipulating him, it's still not enough for him to turn on her. When she refuses to listen to him and kicks him off the council, it's still not enough. No one faithfully and blindly serves someone who repeatedly betrays them and disregards them. Same for the ifrit. Manizheh didn't uphold her end of the bargain and yet they still helped her fight Ali and Nahri? Makes no sense.And don't get me started on Nahri and her obsession with Dara. How are you still torn up inside about a mass murderer whom you had a crush on for a few months six years ago?! I'm sorry, but the first book did not do a good enough job of establishing their apparently deep and unparalleled emotional bond. They were never even in a relationship, how was she so deeply in love with him that she hasn't gotten over him even after learning he mercilessly killed thousands, kidnapped her, betrayed her, joined Manizheh, and despite not seeing him for SIX YEARS! Like I could see if this had been a long-term relationship and he was the love of her life but c'mon.And this leads me to my next point which is the book wants you to sympathize with characters that are and always have been irredeemable. Dara was a mass murderer long before he met Nahri and yet these books have constantly made us believe there's still good in him. That he's not that bad a guy. Quizi wasn't his fault, he was just following orders. Like yeah, Nazis were just following orders too. They're still effing Nazis. Same with Manizheh. She's broken, they said. She would've been a great leader in another life, they said. She wasn't that bad until recently when she was forced to take over Daevabad, they said. Only we find out over 20 years ago she murdered her own brother, tried to kill his child, and then killed the mother of his child. All so she could have power. So, turns out, she's been an evil psycho for a very long time.Furthermore, Nahri, Ali and co. are able to succeed by exploiting rules the series has never fully explained. Its one of the basic rules of writing fantasy novels. A great amount of suspension of disbelief is required to read fantasy, and that's fine. But it is the author's job to define the rules of his/her world, and once they do the characters should all stick to those rules. You should never break or exploit a loophole in those rules unless the ability to do so has already been established beforehand, you've foreshadowed that it's possible, and you have a really good reason to do so. It seems a lot of the magic in the Daevabad series derives from blood pacts, debts, and godly intervention. However, the author never fully explains how this works. For example, the random, ill-considered and ridiculous way Nahri outwits the peri's who have given her the means to save Daevabad. She stabs herself with the peri's magical knife, and says if they don't leave her alone they will be in debt to her people for a thousand years. But how? Why? We have no idea, because like many things in the book, it is not elaborated on. And even if that had been a loophole that was exploited, I found it out of character that Nahri, someone usually so shrewd, who is willing to make unsavory compromises for the greater good, would make an enemy of the super powerful peris. Did I mention she did all this because she refused to kill the mass-murdering Dara (in fact, she actually heals him from the brink of death). I was rolling my eyes the entire time. Also having the peris snap their fingers and instantly fix all of the djinns' problems was a complete deus ex machina and bad storytelling.The magical peri dagger was one of many plot developments that added absolutely nothing to the story, but added significantly to the page count (Chakraborty could have and should have cut about 150-200 pages of this very long book). Another thing that added nothing was all the unnecessary and cheap plot twists. Let's first talk about the most egregious one. Dara over the course of this series gets resurrected three or four times, twice in this book. Resurrection is a trope that should only be used once max in a series, and again, only for a very good reason. There was absolutely no reason to keep Dara alive. He was by far the most boring character in the entire series. His chapters, for part of the second book and 90% of the third, all went something like this: "I feel so bad for killing innocent people, but oh well, I guess I'm ordered to so I'll have to stoop to murder yet again, woe is me." It was impossible for me to sympathize with a character who whines about his situation, but does absolutely nothing to change it. Someone who goes on and on about how he feels so guilty for what he's done, and then does exactly the same thing again. But back on topic, the multiple resurrections was stupid. So was the whole mystery surrounding Nahri's family. Having one twist about your orphan characters family is Ok. Having three and four is excessive and unoriginal. First Nahri's dead mother turns out to be alive. Then it turns out her husband's boyfriend is actually her brother. Then it turns out Manizheh isn't her mother she's her aunt and Jamshid is her cousin. First Nahri is shafit, then she's not, then she is, then she's half shafit and half djinn. Like c'mon. It's like Chakraborty keeps using the same type of twist over and over again. And all the misdirection adds nothing to the story, in fact, it detracts from it. The last "twist" that struck me as really strange is the fact that Ali has to change his appearance and basically turns into a human crocodile. It made it hard for me to root for Nahri to be with someone more marid than djinn. Don't get me wrong, I love the fact that Ali had to sacrifice something to the marid in order to receive their help, but making it change his appearance that drastically was weird to me.Lastly, the book is full of cliches. The whole hero-in-love-with-the-bad-guys-henchmen cliche, the whole henchmen-turns-on-his-master cliche, the long-lost-family-member cliche, the whole I-can't-kill-the-bad-guys-or-I'm-just-as-bad-as-them cliche, and on and on. The ending makes no sense. After establishing that Manizheh, the ifrit and their side are depraved psychopaths, who will always stoop to lower and lower depths to defeat their enemies, it doesn't make sense that three naive djinn who have stupid moral qualms about killing bad guys, could possibly defeat the bad guys. Chakraborty overpowered her bad guys to the point that it made it unrealistic and unbelievable when the good guys succeeded. And what's worse is Nahri and co didn't have to make any sacrifices or cross any lines in order to win. In this world it's been established that everything comes at a cost, yet there was none required to defeat Manizheh. The one good thing the book did was make Ali sacrifice something for the sake of getting the power and aid he needed to help Nahri. But none of the other characters had to.END OF SPOILERSOverall, this book was much too long and didn't earn its page count. The characters acted in ways that were completely unrealistic and the opposite of the way humans (or djinn) actually act. People made out of character decisions at a moment's notice, and the plot suffered from unnecessary unforeshadowed twists and many plot conveniences. I expected better from such a talented writer. Reading it was an intensely frustrating and disappointing experience. If I had known it would be this bad I would have skipped it entirely. I loved the first two books in this trilogy and once I started this one I couldn't put it down...which leads to losing a bit of time when a book clocks in at nearly 800 pages! Worth every second, though. I really enjoy the way this trilogy builds a compelling picture of people on several different sides of a conflict with long historical roots, and makes you understand completely why they all make the choices they do - even when those choices are terrible. I also enjoy that it portrays this conflict in all its horror while never being unkind or losing sight of the small human (or only sometimes human, technically) things that give its characters hope.This last book absolutely sticks the landing for both the characters and the plot - loose ends are tied up, a few more twists are put in stories you thought you had figured out, and everybody gets a satisfying ending. Old characters come back and there's a couple of fantastic new ones too. I laughed out loud a number of times, I held my breath a lot more, and now I need to go back and read the first two again to watch the whole story come together. I'll miss spending time with Nahri, Ali, Dara, and all their supporting cast, but I'm very excited to see what the author does next.
