I also appreciated Chakraborty’s candor in acknowledging her writing struggles during the start of the pandemic. She describes trying to fit what she believed to be the ‘requirements’ of ‘epic fantasy’, before readjusting to focus on the journey of Nahri, Ali and Dara. The author begins by giving some background on her journey writing this series, as well as why she ended up returning to Daevabad after finishing the initial trilogy. So I’m happy to report that it’s a well-rounded selection, beautifully consistent with the rest of the books.
We’ve been begging for (& sometimes even receiving) bonus material from the series, especially for beloved supporting characters like Muntadhir and Zaynab. We are BACK in Daevabad and personally I could not be more excited! Just a heads up to anyone who’s unaware- The River of Silver is a supplementary collection of cut chapters and short stories set in the world of the Daevabad trilogy, so if you have not read that yet then this will not be the place to start! That would be The City of Brass, and I cannot recommend the series enough.įor any longstanding and die-hard fans, this book has been a long time coming. A world where princes question their power, and powerful demons can help you.or destroy you.Ī prospective new queen joins a court whose lethal history may overwhelm her own political savvy.Īn imprisoned royal from a fallen dynasty and a young woman wrenched from her home cross paths in an enchanted garden.Ī pair of scouts stumble upon a secret in a cursed winter wood that will turn over their world.įrom Manizheh's first steps towards rebellion to adventures that take place after The Empire of Gold, this is a must-have collection for those who can't get enough of Nahri, Ali, and Dara and all that unfolded around them. A place where djinn live and thrive, fight and love.
Explore this magical kingdom, hidden from human eyes. Now together in one place, these stories of Daevabad enrich a world already teeming with magic and wonder.
The River of Silver gathers material both seen and new-including a special coda fans will need to read-making this the perfect complement to those incredible novels. Chakraborty's acclaimed Daevabad Trilogy gets expanded with this new compilation of stories from before, during, and after the events of The City of Brass, The Kingdom of Copper, and The Empire of Gold, all from the perspective of characters both beloved and hated, and even those without a voice in the novels.
