(I received a free copy of this book in exchange for a review).
(This review may contain spoilers).
I was quite intrigued by the blurb of this book. I tend to find books with angels as the main characters in pretty interesting.
I have to say, though, that I found this book more confusing than I was hoping. I’m not sure who the good guys in the book are and although there are a lot of interesting characters, I felt that a lot of the reasoning behind why certain things could happen wasn’t really explored as thoroughly as it could have been.
I found a couple of the characters to be really interesting, Gerald and Keep in particular. Unfortunately, the book changed POVs really quickly, which meant that I only learned bits and pieces about those characters throughout the course of the book.
I have a few mixed feelings about Drean. His personality seemed to go through a lot of changes and I would have liked to see more of how his character evolved, instead of it being summarised how he changed and became aware of… carnal pleasures.
The world was quite an intriguing one, with interesting types of creatures, though I got really confused about the differences between the different types of beings. I would have liked some more explanation about that.
I couldn’t say for certain if I’d read the next book in this series. I didn’t quite feel the emotional connection with the characters that I need to so I can stay focused. The book was mostly well-written, but I think the POV character changed too much for me to truly connect with any of them.
