The City in Glass    by Nghi Vo Order:  USA  Can Tor, 2024 (2024) Hardcover, e-Book     Reviewed by Hilary Williamson I have really enjoyed Nghi Vo's Singing Hills Cycle fantasy series that started with The Empress of Salt and Fortune, so opened The City in Glass with great anticipation. Though it is equally well written, I have to say that I struggled to get through it. Its lead is an immortal demon, Vitrine, who plays capriciously with the fortunes of humans in the city of Azril for many generations. As she passed them 'people grew rosy with desire, drunk with live, wild with need for something that surely danced beyond their fingertips.' Then an army of angels comes and destroys Azril. Vitrine remembers all that was and grieves in the broken towers over her book that names all those lost. An angel remains as well, cursed by her when the city fell and unable to rejoin his peers. Their interactions over time change both of them in unexpected ways. Vitrine slowly rebuilds, teaches the angel to dance, and creates a new library. Then comes an army to threaten war. What will she and the angel do, and how does a demon truly love? Note: Opinions expressed in reviews and articles on this site are those of the author(s) and not necessarily those of BookLoons.
