Good idea, poor execution. So many character flaws and plot holes. The only reason I didn’t DNF this book was because I thought the whole star crossed lovers - reborn thing was interesting. Also, the cover is really pretty.

I've heard of this series before but I never gave it a chance until Goodreads recommended it to me because of books I've read before. I ended up totally loving the story. I did not expect it to be about angels though. I really like the love triangle between Cam, Daniel and Luce. It's so intense between the star cross lovers and the feud between Daniel and Cam. It does make me wonder how come Daniel is a light filled angel while Cam is a dark one and how does Luce fit into all this, with her special eyesight. Is she an angel too or something else entirely?

It was really interesting and kept me reading.
I feel like Luce is an odd character to understand sometimes, but I did buy the next book and will be reading it.

i wanted to speed through reading this book, and it made it easy for me. lots of good action buildup before the climactic part, that seemed to be nice and long.
knowing that it has a sequel helps because the epilogue would have been kind of hard to handle without that info.
when someone says they don't know what to read after the twilight series, suggest this book. the girl can be pretty thick-headed but somewhat driven by her hormones in her struggle to decide on which guy she really wants. she also makes some really stoopid decisions that any girl with her IQ should know better than to make (dont sneak out at night to see a guy, don't lie down willingly on the altar or your own sacrifice, stuff like that).
overall, a good book.

I wasn't excited really going into this book. the plot made me interested, but I felt like the twists that happened in the book weren't enough to excite me to keep reading. The end was hard to follow personally, and I felt like, overall, the book was slow

I'm trying to give this one the grace of historical context, but I was so unbelievably bored reading this. I kept trying to imagine how 14 year old me would have felt reading the story, but still came up being frustrated with the pacing, the clichès, and sloppy writing. This is a product of a very specific era in YA literature, but it definitely does not hold up outside this microcosm.
