The City of Mirrors: A Novel (Book Three of the Passage Trilogy)

A New York Times Bestseller "Compulsively readable. . . . A mystical finale that is both manipulative and strangely moving." —The New York Times "Justin Cronin's Passage trilogy is remarkable for the unremitting drive of its narrative, for the breathtaking sweep of its imagined future and for the clear lucidity of its language. The City of Mirrors is a thrilling finale to a trilogy that will stand as one of the great achievements in American fantasy fiction." —Stephen King"A stunning achievement by virtually every measure. . . . Readers are in the hands of a master storyteller with the strengths of a literary writer. . . . The plot is tuned to precision, tightly controlled and rich in cross-references. Cronin's characters are lavishly drawn and powerfully relatable. . . . The City of Mirrors is a masterpiece, the crowning touch on what is, I believe, destined to become a touchstone of modern fantasy and horror." —National Post "It's all deliciously exciting." —The Washington Post"Superb. . . . This conclusion to bestseller Cronin's apocalyptic thriller trilogy ends with all of the heartbreak, joy and unexpected twists of fate that events in The Passage and The Twelve foreordained." —Publishers Weekly, starred review "Readers who have been patiently awaiting the conclusion to Cronin's sweeping postapocalyptic trilogy are richly rewarded with this epic, heart-wrenching novel. . . . Not only does this title bring the series to a thrilling and satisfying conclusion, but it also exhibits Cronin's moving exploration of love as both a destructive force and an elemental need, elevating this work among its dystopian peers." —Library Journal, starred review"Don't let years-long vampire fatigue keep you from this epic, post-apocalyptic tale of blood-suckers: You won't regret getting, er, sucked in." —Entertainment Weekly"A fantastic story. . . . The final book in a blockbuster trilogy." —Houston Chronicle"The City of Mirrors is poetry. . . . The writing is sumptuous, the language lovely, even when the action itself is dark and violent. . . . This may appear to be genre fiction, but it's literature." —January Magazine
