Katie’s Kindly Book Reviews: you may remember I read City of Stairs last year and really enjoyed it. I had no idea there was a sequel until Jamie came across it while we were in Seattle. For a book that has essentially the same plot as the first one, City of Blades manages to still be fantastic in its own right. The protagonist is a brown woman in her mid-50s who is a general in the army, and this book is very much about the military and politics, similar to the first. The world is richly developed with hegemonic politics mixing with divine intervention; it explores the consequences of magics that persist and racial tensions in a world overturned. Please read. It’s wonderful and also brings back my favourite character from the first book, Sigrud. #katieskindlybookreviews2016 -- source link
