I was re reading city of brass and my absolute favourite scene will forever be the king recognising Nahri as Manizheh:
The king is doing his king things suddenly he looks at a random human looking girl…. MANIZHEH, dude is almost crying he looks like he is out of his mind. Everyone around him is in a crisis mode OMG the king is crazy he thinks a random human is the most powerful long dead Nahid, at least half of the people there are considering what will it mean for their carriers. Meanwhile his kids are also very worried about him and they have like a long conversation which is just it’s a pure blood, no she is not, yes she is, no she isn’t. Than king does some magic and everyone goes crazy because they see Nahri as she really is. Here begins the Kaveh emotional horror, he sees the love of his life or more precisely the prove that the love of his life was not faithful to him. And than we add the guy who is a history figure and a war criminal for all gathered to the mix… it’s a beautiful scene
