Kingdom of Copper by S.A. Chakraborty
The battle for Daevabad continues. Nahri gets to build a hospital. Ali comes back from the desert to help Narhi. Dara helps with the invasion of Daevebad. The mythical world is really well built based on the concept that Djinn have their own city. There are a lot of factions that I kind of lose track of. But oh my god this book is taking forever to get anywhere. Lots of moping around bemoaning the fact the world isn't how they want it. Get to some fighting already. Or make the palace intrigue more intriguing.
Many was the time I thought I should stop reading this and not even starting on the final book in the trilogy. And yet, here I am. There are a few flickers of interesting things happening that keep me going. And it is an interesting look a fantasy based on arab history and myths. I hate myself for continuing to read it. But I will press on because I am not a quitter.

As a matter of fact, my anger does keep me warm
