fantastical & mystical I picked this up as i needed ‘a book about a city‘ & it was recommended. It‘s a special, beautiful odd book. A story about a demon who claims a city for her own, growing it over decades & blessing or cursing its people & what happen when it is destroyed by 3 angels - one of whom she curses in her rage. As she mourns & grieves & remembers, the angel returns to her over decades as she (they) build the city once more. ⬇️

I was more invested in Liraz & Ziri than Karou & Akiva. That was a bit shame because this book was more about K & A than L & Z.

This book dragged, a lot. I was waiting for something to happen and at the end realized how this book never delivered what I had expected.

POV changed in every chapter and that cut the flow of the story continually.

Another book where the packaging is even better than the contents within. The premise of this one is fantastic—a demon has mothered/raised/built the city of Azril & then one day, four angels come & destroy it & its population. Furious & mad with grief, the demon curses the angel locking them into a cycle of grief, recrimination, obsession & more. Unfortunately, the character development & plot weren‘t as good as the premise.

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 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.
