The Author sent me this e-book in exchange for an honest review. I knew I wanted to read it because it was about angels. I first thought this was a YA, but it definitely leans more towards adult fiction. I have to say I thoroughly loved this story and look forward to the next in the series.
This is about the fall of the Angels in a kind of post apocalyptic setting. The Angels felt that 'the maker' had broken promises to them and then the angels were tossed to the earth once they proclaimed this in rebellion. They wreaked havoc upon the earth and made the humans their slaves. Jana who was had been in 'the perch', the tower that belonged to the Angels, her whole life being mistreated and punished by the angels, finds herself particularly intrigued with Rhamiel, one of the rebellious angels. The story goes from there.
I really liked the world building that the author brought to us in this story. He definitely has a great a great talent for imagery in everything that was described, including the world, the angels, and the characters as well. The scenes were pretty vividly painted in my mind as I read the book. And I really loved the feeling of being there in the middle of all the chaos that was going on.
The characters were pretty amazing and well developed and I look forward to watching them continue to grow throughout the series. Jana was definitely my favorite character. She has an air of being both meek and strong and she knows which best suits her at the time. The Angels are among some of the best villains I read in a long time. I also really liked Rhamiel, he is a bit of mystery for me right now but I look forward to much more of him.
There was a pretty big cliffhanger at the end of this book and it drives me towards the next in the series. And I will be looking to have these all in physical form ASAP. I am giving this book a 4.5 stars and recommend this to anyone who loves a good thriller involving Angel apocalyptic stories with a lot of action.
