I honestly loved The City of Dusk!! The world building and plot are incredible. I easily understood the the world and loved every part of the story. I truly did not want to stop reading but this is a long book so I unfortunately had to stop to sleep haha. It didn't feel long to me at all though.
I really enjoyed all the different points of view! I fell in love with all the characters. Taesia, Risha, Angelica, Nik, even Julian and Dante, are all different, have their own issues, and that is what made me enjoy this book so much. Taesia is my favourite though, she's a reckless, ruthless badass. There are also the Gods, who are their own characters and have their own shocking truths revealed. I both love and hate them.
I think the battles are incredible and epic. I also loved all the twists, though my theory about Julian was right! To me this book is amazing and since I read the ebook now I really want a physical copy for my book collection.
I will be impatiently waiting for the next book to come out to see what happens next after that OMG ending! I'm also hoping Taesia and Julian get together, I totally feel a vibe between them.

The City of Dusk by Tara Sim is an unputdownable start to an epic fantasy trilogy.Four realms.Four gods.Four houses.Four heirs.Before the gods cut the realms off from each other, there was a natural flow of energy between them. Since the Sealing, the four realms are all slowly dying. In the City of Dusk, the four rival heirs devise a plan to restore balance to the realms.Although the heirs are technically vying for the crown, they have formed a loose friendship of sorts over the years. Their quest to save their realm will constantly test their loyalty to each other and their families.This book has it all: complex world-building, fully-fleshed characters, political intrigue, and an intriguing magic system. While it follows classic fantasy tropes, it is still an utterly compelling read. I could not read it fast enough, especially with frequent mini cliffhangers. It is a long and detailed book, but I never once felt bored while reading it.It takes cultural inspiration from our world. There’s also some great queer representation.There are many characters in this book. It took a bit to get a handle on them all. At first, I kept getting two characters mixed up, but their voices became clear soon enough. Taesia Lastrider has to be my favourite character. She will go to any length to seek revenge for wrongs done to her or her family.This book was so gripping right from the beginning. This first book takes place in one realm, but I can’t wait to see how big the world gets in the next instalment.Thank you to Orbit Books for the finished copy to review!
