After angels raze the once-dazzling city of Azril to the ground, the demon Vitrine tries to rebuild her city as an exiled angel seeks her forgiveness. The City in Glass by Nghi Vo is a beautiful gem of a novel—written with evocative, vivid prose that brings the city of Azril and its inhabitants to life. It’s a richly imaginative and heartfelt story about immortality, grief, and forbidden love. The demons in this world are grounded and sentimental, and you can’t help but feel for Vitrine. This is a sweeping tale that covers the course of centuries. Due to this nature, the pacing can be slow at times. It’s the true definition of a slowburn. However, if you’re in the mood for a quieter, more contemplative fantasy, this one will hit the spot. Thank you, NetGalley and Tortotdom, for providing me with an ARC in exchange for an honest review.
