bookworm_panda's review
3.0
This was a hard book for me to rate, heck - it's a hard book for me to even know what bookshelves to put it in! I finally settled with a 3 star rating since I really enjoyed the middle and what the author was trying to create here, but it was admittedly tough for me to get into the story at the start.
The story is basically a "what if," where the angels that we know from western Christianity were all in relationships, and same sex ones at that, and what caused God to make the decisions he did, what happened before and when Satan/Lucifer fell, and how everything from Genesis to the birth of Jesus and beyond was affected by angels such as Gabriel, Michael, Azrael, Lucifer, and so on.
As I said, this was a slow starter for me. There is a lot of explanation, a LOT of names, and the writing is in such a formal style, that it was a bit hard for me to get into the story. Things really did pick up for me and I enjoyed the middle bit, but then the ending lost me just a little bit, too. There is no menage (which I thought for a second from the blurb there may be) and no cheating, so don't be worried about that.
I would be interested to see where the author goes next with this, especially as the epilogue definitely seems to set things up for the next story.
I received an arc in exchange for an honest review.
