I loved the world building, the magic and Daevabad, and how everyone had their own motivations that only partly aligned with their faction's. That said, I wasn't sold on the romance between Nahri and Dara, and that undercut a lot of her decisions in the book. Everyone made lots of well motivated, interestingly bad decisions!
