The Empire of Gold by S.A. Chakraborty

Well, I'm glad that's over. I should have stopped reading. I just wasn't engage but I trapped myself on seeing what happened especially since there was a bit of a love triangle in the middle. Eventually Nahri and Ali have to fight for the city which Dara is destroying at the behest of Nahri's mother. Nahri and Ali make deals with other magical realms.

And there is a big cheat. A big Deal Ex Machina the author used to get out of a jam. The whole book moves linearly. Except at one point where a character who was supposed to be drugged was revived offstage and available for a daring rescue. Ugh.

I'm done. At least it wasn't by Shirley Sargent for a change.
As a matter of fact, my anger does keep me warm
