An Amazon Best of the Month pick in SF&F A Publishers Weekly Top 10 Fall 2024 SF&F pick Praise for The City in Glass: "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 "Vo has done something truly wonderful here. Their story is half the angel-demon balancing act of Good Omens , half the poetic, sensually visceral prose and enemies-to-lovers tale of This is How You Lose the Time War, all powered by Vitrine''s combined grief and stubborn hope for the future of Azril."-- Booklist , starred review "Creates the kind of push-pull duality of This Is How You Lose the Time War by Amal El-Mohtar and Max Gladstone, then adds a splash of Neil Gaiman and Terry Pratchett''s Good Omens to tell a romantic story about two beings on opposite sides of an eternal conflict who find common ground but never peace.
