I really enjoyed this. I loved seeing the side-by-side action of our world and the spiritual realm, and the places where they interacted closely. I enjoyed the characters a lot, but sometimes the dialogue of the human characters didn't seem… realistic, I guess. Some events seemed a little the same, but then, I haven't come up against that much blatant demonic possession and all of that that these characters did. So maybe it is like that. I don't know.

I also loved the visuals of the angels and demons. You can feel the darkness of the demons, and the light of the angels (I found this especially so in the climax). I found it really fascinating to see how each side in the spiritual realm interacted within their own ranks. Where the angels respected each other for their triumphs and skills in battles past, the demons fight with each other as much as they do with the angels. They have no qualms about mocking or killing each other. The angels, on the other hand, support each other and watch each other's backs.

And can we talk about how awesome Guilo is? :3 Easily one of my favorite characters.
