vel629vet 's review for:

The Kingdom of Copper by S.A. Chakraborty
4.0
adventurous dark emotional tense medium-paced
Plot or Character Driven: A mix
Strong character development: No
Loveable characters: Complicated
Diverse cast of characters: Yes
Flaws of characters a main focus: Yes

Some of the frequent POV switching bogged me down, and it took until about 60% for me to become really invested. Chakraborty expertly weaves a complicated generational tapestry where there is no black and white and the only character with a true moral compass doesn’t seem to actually be the hero… interesting but complicated, and not my favorite type of story. But definitely going to finish the trilogy.
