Very sweet short stories that give us a more complete picture of everything going on according to different characters. Perfect for reading after Empire of Gold because it will lessen a little the huge book hangover left. I don't want to ever leave this world and characters!!!

↠ Book #1: The City of Brass Review ★★★★★↠ Book #2: The Kingdom of Copper Review ★★★★★I decided to read this right after The Kingdom of Copper so that the last thing I read of this series and characters is whatever finale The Empire of Gold ends up having.Although I usually get extremely bored over short stories, I don’t regret this decision in the slightest, because most of these extra scenes were gems that I was beyond excited I got access to, especially the last 3 Nahri, Ali and Zaynab POVs!!...

1. The City of Brass | ★★★★★ 2. The Kingdom of Copper | ★★★★★ 3. The Empire of Gold | ★★★★★181 pages of extra content of one of my favourite trilogies ever? Suddenly 2020 is not that bad anymore.

Truly a gift for those who wanted some perspectives of Muntadhir, Jamsheid or Zaynab.

It was a refreshing one, that’s for sure. I loved Muntadhir, Jamshid and Zaynab’s POVs. I’m feeling nostalgic knowing that this is the last piece of The Daevabad Chronicles i will ever get to read but still it was really nice. Now, it’s high time i bid my farewells with it and start anew with something else.

That was literally perfect. I've been putting off reading this because once it was over, so was Daevabad. But holy fuck was it good; the bonus content I didn't know I NEEDED. I cried because of course I did. This series, man. THE BEST.

The 181-page pdf wasn't as much as the average daevabad novel, but it was definitely worth everything considered that the author even put it on her website free of any purchase!! Like that's the best thing I've ever known!!(view spoiler)[While I must confess, the only two things I really hoped to be present in this book was a little bit more on Rustam and Duriya and the al Qahtani siblings (other than Ali). While the latter was fulfilled, in a way, I really wanted to read more of Rustam and Duri...

I loved all these extra little stories and deleted scenes. It was really interesting seeing into the minds of other characters like Jamshid, Muntadhir & Manizheh. I made the decision to read it before Empire of Gold and I think that's probably the best way to do it but you don't need to read any of them to read Empire of Gold, if that makes sense?Also major love to S A Chakraborty for dropping these for free on her website when, at 181 pages, she easily could've sold it as a novella 💜

Honestly to release all this, for free, is stunning - definitely recommend if you're eagerly awaiting EoG (or just finished it!)

This was lovely, some of these I wished were in the actual books because they were just that good and added so much to the story and the characters

You can’t deny what a nerdy gem this is for the series.

I rather enjoyed these extra tidbits from Daevabad. I love that we have chapters written from Jamshid's, Muntadhir's and Zaynab's perspectives. While I feel Empire of Gold ended the series perfectly, I do wish I got more of these fascinating characters. There definitely are typos here and I think the writing could use a bit of polishing and tightening here and there however I can't really be mad as this was a free offer from the author,  and she gave us a generous amount of pages from this world...

This is such a great addition to the books.I was a bit disappointed to see so little of certain characters, but these extra scenes provided just that.

this was fun, it was interesting to read alternative scenes that didn’t make the cut™ and was nice to read from some additional perspectives as well - even if they weren’t fully nuanced but I’m not complaining - hell she put this up as a pdf when she could have published this as a full novella let’s be real

I wanted a book retelling important moments of the story from muntadhir’s perspective and that’s just a little of what this extra had to offer. It also gave insight into his relationship with Jamshid which had me glued to my screen.

Contains 10 "stories." Rating it a 4 because, while I think it's already a thoughtful treat (the alternative being not publishing this at all,) since some had been "reworked on," I had assumed they would then fit into series as extra scenes (or ones that didn't make the cut; similar to extra, but slightly different imo;) alas, some that stated having been tweaked, to my understanding, still contains stuff that contradict canon, so like an alternative deleted scene. (That itself is fine, just tha...

when SA Chakraborty said a few deleted scenes were available on her website, I expected 4 or 5 short scenes over 10 or so pages, NOT 181 PAGES OMFG ;-; I'm here for all of them, but especially those Muntadhir and Jamshid POVs, I'll be honestalso LOL that Dara POV that showed how whipped for Nahri he was from quite early on, I'm wheezing(*leaving this unrated because they're extra/deleted scenes)

Getting to read a little more of the Daevabad world make it hurt just a little less now it’s all over 😅Such a great opportunity to be able to read from familiar POVs (Ali & Nahri) but also brand new ones! Not to mention, the gems that are embedded within these extra scenes. Massive thank you to Shannon for uploading these to her website and allowing Daevabad fans to read them for free! 💜⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️/5

   What better way to ease out of a book hangover than to immediately seek out all the extra information possible that the author has put out there? After cruising Ms. Chakraborty’s website and all but fawning at the amazing artwork (alternate covers, official images, and fan art all included), my mouth dropping open at the extensive lists of references/inspirations/etc., I naturally had to hunt down this PDF of extra scenes – thank goodness someone updated the link in the Goodreads comments so
