The Glass Republic: The Skyscraper Throne Book 2 - Hardcover

Beautifully written, wildly imaginative and surprisingly emotional, The Glass Republic continues an exciting new phase in urban fantasy that's being powered by one author alone (fantasybookreview.co.uk)

Five stars isn't enough ... This series has so far been a stellar example of what good YA, and good urban fantasy, should be (Over the Effing Rainbow)

I was hooked, and I couldn't stop reading. 5 out of 5 (Jellyfish Reads)

If you thought the world building was good in The City's Son you are going to be amazed with the London-Under-Glass that Tom Pollock has created ... I think I actually enjoyed this story even more than the first one (Feeling Fictional)

Pollock's immersive world is easy to get into and once there, you just don't want to leave ... An excellent novel which reinvigorates urban fantasy as a genre (Upcoming4me)

Tom Pollock should be proud of what he's achieved ... Middle novels aren't always the easiest to read in a trilogy but Tom has done great things here (A Bookish Blog)

The roots of [Pollock's] mind can be seen in Miéville and Gaiman, with a splash of Moffat. He can and will appeal to people all over. Tom is going to become one of the defining voices in British fantasy (Utter Biblio)

One of speculative fiction's most promising new voices - it's such an unfettered success that the concluding volume of the Skyscraper Throne saga can't come soon enough (Tor.com)

An astute second novel. Where it really does succeed is in creating an utterly sublime secondary world, and yet another beautiful portrayed main character. I'll be waiting with baited breath to see how the overarching plot will pan out (One Chapter More)

So as well as being creative and fantastical adventure in the mirror world, it also cleverly explores self-image, class systems and the ridiculousness of celebrity. If you can't gaze upon your own face, should you base your self-worth on how other's see you...The end of the book will have you reaching for your time machine (Curiosity Killed the Bookworm)
