A review by oashackelford
Amongst Our Weapons by Ben Aaronovitch
5.0
Peter Grant is at it again, this time battling a heavenly angel? To the naked eye it seems like Peter is fighting with an Angel sent by God to take down the unrighteous, but Peter Grant has met Gods and Goddesses before, and this seems to be something altogether different. To add to his stress, Beverly is due to give birth soon, so it is all he can do to clean up this mess and get back before his twins are born without him.
I liked this adventure a lot more than some of the recent ones. I think I like the ones where he is exploring the limits of magic and doing experiments the best. I also liked that Leslie returns in this one. I do wish that we got some more answers on why the angel was created or what the rings had to do with it, but I still enjoyed it all the same.
This did feel like a finale to me. I hope it isn't because I like reading these and I want to know what Peter is like as a father, but if Ben Aaronovitch is done writing them, then at least he left everyone in a pretty good place. I do wish he had caught Leslie though.
