Pressezitat
"If this is the last we see of Chakraborty's wildly unique magical world, it is certainly a gleaming and precious gift." - Paste Magazine on The River of Silver"This story compilation is a must-have ... as it showcases her amazing characters and lush world one more time." - Library Journal on The River of Silver
"I loved the protagonist, there was a nice cast of supporting characters, and the plot had some twists and turns that I did not see coming... Her style is vivid and colourful and very readable. The best thing, though, was the setting. Instead of drawing on the European Dark Ages and Middle Ages, Chakraborty evoked the flavours of the Middle East and Arabian Knights and the legends of the djinns. I enjoyed the novel hugely, and I just ordered the second and third books in the trilogy so I may continue the adventure." - George R. R. Martin on City of Brass
"The City of Brass reads like an invitation for readers from Baghdad to Fairbanks to meet across impossibly divergent worlds through the shared language and images of the fantastical." - New York Times Book Review
"Chakraborty writes a winning heroine in Nahri-flawed but smart and engaging. And her portrayal of the cultural conflicts in the magical city of Daevabad and of Ali's inner turmoil is compelling and complex, serving as a strong counterpoint to the thrilling action." - Washington Post on City of Brass
"With musical prose, majestic settings, and an epic story, Chakraborty's finale to a trilogy will ignite passion in her many fans. Fervidly recommended to all readers of the fantasy genre." - Booklist (starred review) on Empire of Gold

"Chakraborty combines the plot's many surprises with vivid prose, and leavens the action with wry humor.
