This or That Reading Challenge discussion

This: A book from a friend's bookshelf.
That: A book from your own TBR.

For this challenge I chose That: A book from your own TBR, for which I read The City in Glass by Nghi Vo. It's the story of a city, a demon, and an angel, covering a total period of centuries. It was a unique tale, especially as it was primarily told from the demon's perspective, and I really enjoyed the writing and the demon's character. Not a lot happens, but I was ok with that as I was taken in by the atmosphere / vibe of the story. I've read two other by this same author and have enjoyed them as well. 4.25 out of 5 stars

I chose That and I read Angels & Exorcists: The Rosary's Rejects Book I. It was an urban fantasy indie novel, and I was a little worried it would become one of those cheesy urban fantasy, supernatural novels, but it didn't. In fact, it was really well done. I also very much liked that it was an LGBTQIA+ inclusive novel, featuring two transgender characters as well gay relationships. So I definitely recommend giving it a look at.
