such a fun and well written story with a narrative and structure that i loved!!

the way the story is told was definitely the highlight for me, it was so engaging and i loved how much we learnt about vitrine and the angel. this falls more into the lyrical prose/vibes category than focusing on different people, and instead we follow vitrine and the grief that she feels - it’s so poignant and beautiful to see her feel so much for the city she created and loved so deeply

seeing the many generations of people was so touching, you see how grief flows and ebbs and vitrine felt so real, although her decisions as a demon could be considered questionable, she feels so deeply which just made me fall in love with her city

the unconventional enemies to lovers (angel x demon) was slowburn heaven, she curses him for being a part of her city’s destruction, and he cannot return to his home, and instead must accept vitrine and grows to lover her. i loved the ending, it wraps up their story together so beautifully and made the multi-generation focus on love and life so poignant

Thank you to NetGalley and the publisher for sending me an arc!
