Hi I know a bunch of us are obsessed with Fourth Wing but don’t sleep on these other Yarros books ya’ll. “In the Likely Event” is I think is my second favorite book of all time? It’s just … so good? Like I don’t know how else to explain it? I have read it twice in two months. It’s so good.

(Side note the best book of all time is The Daevabad Trilogy and yes I mean all 3 are my #1. Read it, I’m begging you. It’s so damn good.)

Title: The Daevabad Trilogy

Author: S.A. Chakraborty

Series or standalone: series

Publication year: 2017

Genres: fiction, fantasy, historical fiction, mythology, romance

Blurb: Nahri has never believed in magic. Certainly, she has power; on the streets of 18th-century Cairo, she's a conwoman of unsurpassed talent. But she knows better than anyone that the trade she uses to get by - palm readings, zars, healings - are all tricks, sleights of hand, learned skills; a means to the delightful end of swindling Ottoman nobles. However, when Nahri accidentally summons an equally shy, darkly mysterious djinn warrior to her side during one of her cons, she's forced to accept that the magical world she thought only existed in childhood stories is real. The warrior tells her a new tale: across hot, windswept sands teeming with creatures of fire, rivers where the mythical marid sleep, past ruins of once-magnificent human metropolises, and mountains where the circling hawks are not what they seem, lies Daevabad, the legendary city of brass - a city to which Nahri is irrevocably bound. In that city, behind gilded brass walls laced with enchantments, behind the six gates of the six djinn tribes, old resentments are simmering...and when Nahri decides to enter this world, she learns that true power is fierce and brutal. Magic cannot shield her from the dangerous web of court politics. Even the cleverest of schemes can have deadly consequences. After all, there is a reason they say to be careful what you wish for.

Did you know abby jimenez is a white american woman of italian descent that took her latino husband's last name? i just found out on tiktok i've seen her books on so many lists of books by latino authors 😭

no way that’s so funny bc i litchrally remember thinking after reading her book that she should be doing emily henry numbers bc her writing and pacing is so much better. and one of the reasons she isn’t as popular is probably bc of her ethnic name. dam first white woman victim of racism 😔

Alizayd Al Qahtani from the Daevabad Trilogy

I just read the adventures of Amina Al-Sirafi and it was GREAT, such a romp.

An antidote to every single book where rather than have a mom character, they kill her (moms are complicated/moms are hard to write/moms are more of a character development backstory than people with lives).

Amina is both SUCH A MOM and also very much her own protagonist on wild romps with the supernatural and medieval Indian Ocean pirates.
