Where Oblivion Lives by T. Frohock

I love it.
I love Diago so much. His whole being and how he tries and tries and tries and even though it's enough he still feels that it isn't. I love how Miquel and Guillermo remind him that it's enough and have his back. Especially Guillermo - coming to save him and get him out. <3
Also, I would really, really, really love to read about how Miquel and Diago (and Guillermo) meet in each incarnation and how Miquel managed to teach/convince Diago that he is loved and worth it.
I also like that Miquel is forced to reflect that some of his behavior (even though it isn't really bad) still has an impact on Diago that isn't entirely positive.
I love the idea of the sigils and them being damaged during the Great War (and double the love to remind people that the great War hasn't been over that long and that the wounds in people and landscape are still open and healing) and that this leads to an rogue angel trying to break through to our realm.
I love that we got a bit more history on the Nefilim in general and especially Diago and Guillermo. I love that we get to know a bit more about how the re-incarnation and everything else works.
I'm still madly in love with the fact that they all sing their magic. <3
The mirror was creepy! And I'm not easily creeped out while reading. Watching something, yes. But reading? Usually not. But in this case... Also, my heart is breaking for Harvey and the others. If I understood it correctly - they are trapped there forever (or until Frauja finds a way out of there and someone manages to kill him?)? :(
I kind of wanted soul!Rudi to stay with Diago. I may sound creepy/whatever, but I think it would have been adorable. Diago and his little protector soul/shadow.
The only thing that I'm a bit "Hmm" about is, that some things spelled in German should have been written with upper cases. It's a tiny thing to nitpick, but it just throws me out of a story. *shrugs* Also, I'm a bit sad that it's once again about a power struggle between brothers. I hoped for a long time that Jordi is undercover or something and it ends up all of them are on the same side against Frauja. :/ I mean, I still enjoyed reading it but, yeah, I still hoped.
So, yeah, loved it and I'm looking forward to the next part!
