bironic: Fred reading a book,looking adorable (fred reading)
City of Brass by S.A. Chakraborty (2017)

GRRAARRR, I thought this was a standalone novel! Instead, it is another 500-page START to a story, which I did not know until facing down the last ~25 pages and realizing with a sinking sensation that there was no way everything could be wrapped up in that space. There are no references to a series on the book cover or in the title pages. Was not told by the person who recommended it to me (former grad program advisor).

...Of course, now that I Google it, it says "(Daevabad Trilogy #1)," so my fault, I guess.

More thoughts, no spoilers. )
