The Empire of Gold: Book 3 (The Daevabad Trilogy)

Product Information

The final chapter in the Daevabad Trilogy, in which a con-woman and an idealistic djinn prince join forces to save a magical kingdom from a devastating civil war. I don’t have a whole lot to say about Ali. He was previously my favourite character but I think he was potentially the weakest in this book. I enjoyed his chapters, particularly his interactions with Nahri, though his immaturity did my head in. It just didn’t seem like an adult relationship at times. Nahri might have sent mixed messages by brutally friend-zoning him on a couple of occasions but eventually she made it blindingly obvious that she was keen and he blundered it. Maybe he deserves to be friend-zoned. I must say, they did have a fairly touching scene before he goes off to seemingly sacrifice himself for the good of the Ayanlee. I feel similarly about the Marid plotline as I do about the Peri’s late involvement. It was just a convenient way to resolve the conflict between the Daevas and the Marid. At least Ali had to make some sort of sacrifice to achieve it… I suppose. The older moms get a look too, and not just as wallpaper. Manizeh is not simply a monster, but a mother, and must contend with conflicting emotions when her child opposes her. Ali’s mother is more of a family first sort, eager to protect her progeny above all else. They are powerful, and very engaged in the world, complex, fleshed out characters. Dara and Manizheh learn that Jamshid poisoned Ali. Kaveh confides in Dara and they talk about what is to come.

Nahri thrives in this final instalment. She is such a strong, smart and courageous female protagonist, you’d be hard-fixed to find anything to hate about her. Except for her teenage style crush on Dara early on but more on that later. She had insecurities earlier in the series regarding her shafit origins, her healing abilities and her role in a world she knew nothing about until very recently but like a Phoenix, she rises from the pile of ashes left in Manizeh’s wake and soars, shedding any of those insecurities and becoming the woman that she was born to be.

Creator, every time I think I’ve found the bottom in all of this, I get some new story of murder and vengeance.”

Jang, Seo-yoon (1 July 2013). "PREVIEW: SBS Mon/Tue Drama Golden Empire". TenAsia. Archived from the original on 28 March 2014 . Retrieved 1 July 2013.Nahri and Jamshid run into Kaveh as they’re fleeing to the infirmary, and Kaveh tells them there’s something wrong with Muntadhir, who’s in the Temple. They head there, but they’re intercepted by Wajed, the king’s Quaid. He takes Jamshid away and puts Nahri and Kaveh in chains. Fact: I stayed up all night to finish this 28 hr audiobook in under 3 days. And frankly I'm not sure whether to be impressed, or concerned about my priorities. A gorgeous conclusion to a beautiful series. I loved these books through and through. I feel like Chakraborty has punched through my ribs and wrung out my heart like a wet rag. Someone famous once said that you know a story has a good ending when no one’s really 100% happy with it. Because that’s how you know it’s real. The Empire of Gold, the conclusion of author S.A. Chakraborty’s rich, magical Daevabad trilogy is just such an ending – one that will leave readers very happy and very sad by turns, but utterly satisfied all the same.

WHAT HAPPENED IN THE KINGDOM OF COPPER?Manizeh, Nahri’s Mommy Dearest, is doing her best to win friends and influence people, for her opposition. The body count in Daevabad is considerable, helped along by Manizeh’s incapacity for politics, and a mega death-dealing field commander in Dara, who would like nothing more than to follow his own conscience, but is his will truly and fully his own?
