All I can think about is Dara and his last moments with Nahri before he walks beyond the veil. I’ve been sobbing for roughly 2 hours now and there doesn’t seem to be an end in sight - especially when my world goes quiet. I am beyond heartbroken and so utterly consumed by sadness over Dara that I could not sleep. After two attempts of trying to go to sleep after finishing, I finally gave up. I finished The Empire of Gold, the 3rd and final book, in The Daevabad Trilogy… and I might be broken. And a few recs to keep you going after Daevabad ✨ Some content from the pinterest board I made. I’m reeling from finishing this book and I’m trying to calm myself down so I can go to sleep. I’ll set the stage: it’s at 3:38am in the morning. And today, I wanted to share what those thoughts were because what better place to do it than here. I have never done that before in the history of my reading experience after finishing a book - well maybe only one other time - but certainly not since The Empire of Gold, that’s for sure. So, I got up and journaled… yes, I journaled my thoughts and how I was feeling. But of course Maui just reminded me of Dara and the music just made me cry harder. I tried and failed at turning on Moana to fall asleep to to get my mind off it. Days later, I would randomly think about it and still get emotional! I remember I finished the book late and I should have been going to bed, but I couldn’t. So yes, crying and staying in the world of Daevabad… twas me after finishing. Like literally couldn’t do anything else except cry and somehow stay in the world of Daevabad.Īnd, I’ll say this now, if you haven’t read this series and ESPECIALLY if you haven’t read The Empire of Gold yet, TURN BACK.
And it reminded me that when I first finished the book, I could not function. I was working on some other content - Fragments of Literature, coming soon! - and one of the prompts brought me to that crucial ending in The Empire of Gold. So why am I suddenly rewinding the clock? WELL. It’s one of those books that just never leaves you and has such a huge impact on your heart.
But if you’ve read the series, and especially, The Empire of Gold, you’ll know the heartache and book hangover that ensued after finishing.
I still have a draft in my blogs to do this. Since then, I have been meaning and meaning to write a review blog of the series. So, I finished The Empire of Gold and Daevabad Trilogy back in DECEMBER OF 2020.
