Book description
The Kingdom of Copper, the second installment in S.A. Chakraborty's Daevabad Trilogy, demonstrates a marked evolution in narrative complexity and character development. Where its predecessor established the intricate world of djinn politics and Nahri's inadvertent entanglement therein, this sequel examines the consequences of those entanglements with sophisticated precision.
Chakraborty's command of historical detail remains impressive, particularly her integration of Abbasid-era cultural and political structures into a fantastical framework. The author's research into Islamic art and medieval history informs the worldbuilding without overwhelming the narrative progression. Her depiction of Daevabad's royal court reflects genuine understanding of historical power dynamics rather than superficial appropriation.
The audiobook format proves particularly effective for this work, as the narrator's performance distinguishes between the various djinn factions through subtle vocal modulations while maintaining clarity during the complex political discourse. The production quality supports rather than distracts from Chakraborty's prose, allowing her descriptive passages to unfold naturally.
Nahri's character arc shifts from fish-out-of-water protagonist to someone grappling with inherited power and its moral implications. Her development feels earned rather than contrived, particularly as she navigates the constraints of her gilded imprisonment within Daevabad's brass walls. Ali's parallel journey into exile provides necessary counterpoint, his struggle with marid-granted abilities serving as metaphor for the corrupting nature of inherited privilege.
The novel's pacing maintains tension through multiple viewpoint shifts, though some readers may find the extensive political maneuvering occasionally slows momentum. Chakraborty's commitment to exploring colonial dynamics within her fantasy framework distinguishes this work from standard orientalist fantasy tropes.
While the romantic elements satisfy, they never overshadow the primary narrative concerns of political upheaval and cultural conflict. The groundwork established here promises a compelling conclusion in the trilogy's final volume.
