City of Glass is one of those books that will both confuse and severely interest you. It catches your attention from the very first sentence and keeps it there even after you have finished it.

The book is set in the 1980’s, New York. It follows the story of a man named Daniel Quinn, a simple person who loves to spend his time walking around the streets of New York and makes his living by writing mystery novels. He gets a weird late-night phone call from someone asking for a “Paul Auster.”

Quinn pretends to be this “Paul Auster” and meets the strange caller whose name is Peter Stillman. Stillman tells Daniel of his past history where his father trapped him in a room for nine years of his early life to learn God’s “language”. He asks Quinn, or Auster, to investigate and track the movements if his father who he believes is trying to murder him.

I kneel beside him, hands on my knees, toes buried in sand, wishing he'd look at me, wishing he'd speak. Even if it's only to tell me what I already know - that I made a grave and stupid mistake - one that will possibly never be erased. I'd gladly accept it - heck, I deserve it. What I can't stand is his absolute silence and faraway gaze. And I'm just about to say something, anything, to break this unbearable stillness, when he looks at me with eyes so weary they're the perfect embodiment of his six hundred years. ‘Roman.

Here it is everyone, book three to the Immortal series!

If you read the first two books make sure to get this one. You'll love it and all the information it holds. If you haven't then I suggest you pick up the first one and read it. If you like Twilight, Vampire Academy, or the Wicked series then you'll like this one too.
