The Glass Republic

by Tom Pollock Narrated by Alison Larkin

Overview

The Glass Republic is the gripping sequel to The City's Son, and the second book of The Skyscraper Throne trilogy.

Pen's life is about secrets: the secret of the city's spirits, deities and monsters, living just beyond the notice of modern Londoners; the secret of Pen's intricate scars that disfigure her so cruelly; and the most closely guarded secret of all: Parva, her mirror-sister, forged from her reflections in a school bathroom mirror.

Pen's reflected twin is the only girl who really understands her. Then Parva is abducted and Pen makes a terrible bargain to track her down. In London-Under-Glass, looks are currency, and Pen's scars make her a rare and valuable commodity. But some in the reflected city will do anything to keep Pen from the secret of what happened to the sister who shared her face.

Editorial Reviews

From the Publisher

"He nails that spot between utterly normal and blood-curdlingly weird perfectly."—Jon Courtenay Grimwood

PRAISE FOR THE CITY'S SON:

"Tom Pollock has taken a particularly inventive slice [of London] and brought it to life."—British Fantasy Society

"I can't remember the last time I enjoyed a book as much. Fans of Neil Gaiman's Neverwhere will definitely find things to love here; it's dark, it's gritty, it's touching, and it's deeply engrossing. I didn't want it to end."—Stacia Kane
