In this new standalone novel, Hugo Award-winning author Nghi Vo introduces a beguiling fantasy city in the tradition of Calvino, Mieville, and Le Guin.

A Publishers Weekly Top 10 Fall 2024 SF&F pick

A demon. An angel. A city.

The demon Vitrine—immortal, powerful, and capricious—loves the dazzling city of Azril. She has mothered, married, and maddened the city and its people for generations, and built it into a place of joy and desire, revelry and riot.

And then the angels come, and the city falls.

Vitrine is left with nothing but memories and a book containing the names of those she has lost—and an angel, now bound by her mad, grief-stricken curse to haunt the city he burned.

She mourns her dead and rages against the angel she longs to destroy. Made to be each other’s devastation, angel and demon are destined for eternal battle. Instead, they find themselves locked in a devouring fascination that will change them both forever.

Together, they unearth the past of the lost city and begin to shape its future. But when war threatens Azril and everything they have built, Vitrine and her angel must decide whether they will let the city fall again.

The City in Glass is both a brilliantly constructed history and an epic love story, of death and resurrection, memory and transformation, redemption and desire strong enough to reduce a world to ashes and remake it anew.

Reseñas de la Crítica

A Publishers Weekly Top 10 Fall 2024 SF&F pick

“Echoing with strains of myths like a familiar tune half-heard in a distant room, The City in Glass is a treasure, as fragile as its namesake and relentless as granite, filled with exquisite sorrow, fury, and desire.”—Jacqueline Carey, author of Kushiel's Dart

“Satisfying as a leisurely stroll along the streets of some historic city, The City in Glass opens up like a treasure box to reveal glittering jewels of insight, exploring the nature of love and destruction with a sharp and delicate touch.”—Sacha Lamb, Mythopoeic Award-winning Lambda Literary Fellow

“Evokes the best of Italo Calvino and Ursula K. Le Guin.... This beautifully crafted tale of resilience and transformation may be Vo’s best yet.”—Publishers Weekly, starred review

No investment

The narrative hardly gives any reason for us to care about the characters. Things happen, but the flowery descriptors do nothing to evoke a sense of investment in the characters being whisked around on stage. it's an interesting idea for a story, but I found myself impatient and bored quite often.
