My heart was destroyed by this book. That's all I'm going to say. So many emotions, so many tears.
And I'd do it all over again.

"Cutesy tag lines for a review of The Empire of Gold (2020), S. A. Chakraborty’s concluding novel for her DAEVABAD trilogy of humans, djinn, and water elementals, sort of write themselves:
“Chakraborty strikes gold with the final novel in … ”
“Chakraborty is on fire with her newest … ”
“Come on djinn, the water’s fine … ” .
The Empire of Gold is a fully satisfying conclusion to this excellent trilogy, even though there are definitely moments that many fans won’t like for whatever reason. But, as a whole, what matters is that this feels like a bittersweet close one that is both deserved and earned, for both good and ill. And that is something to be celebrated .

This series finished off just as strong as it started. I think the payoff was ultimately worth it though I would understand if people struggled to read all 2000ish pages of the trilogy to get there. There’s also a couple pacing issues that left some really interesting storylines getting less page time than some others, but overall a really great book and a very compelling series.
