Kingdom of Copper by S.A. Chakboraty

The second book in the trilogy is just as magical and clever as the first. Welcome to a world of magic carpet rides, assassins and political backstabbing between magical beings and humans. The adventure awaits, the pace is frenetic, the danger is so real you can taste it. The world is in unrest and Nahri, forced to marry a prince to save her people must now try to heal political wounds as much as the physical ones inflicted on her friends and people. Fantastic world building with its roots in ancient middle eastern folklore and wings of imagination and some ferocious female characters.
