Relation Toward Books City of Stairs (The Divine Cities #1)

The city of Bulikov once wielded the powers of the gods to conquer the world, enslaving and brutalizing millions — until its divine protectors were killed. Now, Bulikov’s history has been censored and erased, its citizens subjugated. But the surreal landscape of the city itself, forever altered by the thousands of miracles its guardians once worked upon it, stands as a haunting reminder of its former supremacy.

Into this broken city steps Shara Thivani. Officially, the unassuming young woman is just another junior diplomat sent by Bulikov’s oppressors. Unofficially, she is one of her country’s most accomplished spies, dispatched — along with her terrifying “secretary”, Sigrud — to solve a murder.

But as Shara pursues the killer, she starts to suspect that the beings who ruled this terrible place may not be as dead as they seem, and that Bulikov’s cruel reign may not yet be over.

A tale of vast conspiracies, dead gods, and buried histories, City of Stairs is at once a gripping spy novel and a stunningly original work of fantasy.

Evaluation Based On Books City of Stairs (The Divine Cities #1)

Re-Read cuz Sarah said so. It was even better the second time around 4.5 StarsOriginal ReviewI should have hated this story. It shouldnt have worked for me at all for a few reasons. - There is no love story. Well that isnt specifically true. There is a story that involves two people who were a couple in the past but really that is it. In the present tense of the story there isnt any romantic hopefuls. I love having someone in by books to ship even if nothing comes from it for books and books. -

Previous rating: 20 stars. New rating : 22 stars. Because why the shrimp not.➽ And the moral of this rereread is : this book. This Bloody Fishing Book (BFB™). It is Slightly Extremely Good (SEG™) and stuff.➽ And the other moral of this rereread is : Colonel Turyin Mulaghesh, I want to be you when I grow up. Now let's dance and stuff.P.S. Sigrud = YUM, just so you know. Book 2: City of Blades ★★★★★ Book 3: City of Miracles ★★★★★[March 2017] Aww Yeah We Are So Doing this Again Buddy Reread

TLDRSolid 4*Interesting read unlike any fantasy world I've read before, the MCs interactions made it for me.Fun twists & reveals, but I saw most of them coming so while it was a very enjoyable read it didn't quite knock my socks off. Still highly recommend 😇******Politics & religion are not typically subjects I seek out when looking for books to read. However the way these were tackled and slowly unveiled to us, like peeling back the layers of an onion through the opening act of a murder

A blend of urban fantasy, intelligence services, espionage with various gods thrown into the action. The book was definitely a slow burn getting better and better as it went along. The last 75 pages were great. This is setup well for the next two books in the series which I shall be reading.

4.5 stars.Sometimes you wonder why you keep delaying a series that you have been meaning to read, and when you've finally read it, you want to smack yourself hard for waiting so long to do so. Divine Cities falls right into this category of "Why in the world did it take me so long to read this? It is so good!" Arising from my plans this year to read more completed trilogies, I have been blessed with some astoundingly good reads thus far, and City of Stairs is one of them. How do I even begin to

My favorite books transcend genre. This one was particularly compelling in that it mixes fantasy with an alt-world of cold, Lenin-era ambiance. The premise is that gods once actually walked the earth, but then man killed them all. The story of the book follows the consequences of this action. This is a great, meaty fantasy and I highly recommend it for the world building and fantastic characters, including a kick-ass female lead. One of my faves of 2016.

You can find this review and more at Novel Notions. Time renders all people and all things silent. And gods, it seems, are no exception. I have a confession to make. I purchased this trilogy in February of 2017, even preordered the final installment though I hadnt read the first two. I just knew that it was a trilogy that I would love based off of the synopsis. There is nothing in the realm of fiction that I love more than unique religions and overt philosophizing. While setting and
