The Darkangel by Meredith Ann Pierce

4.0

This is not like a work that will blow your mind or groundbreaking by any means. I would maybe go to 3.5 because there isn't a whole ton of depth to the story or characters, but that didn't stop me from thoroughly enjoying the read. It is a light, easy read and just the kind of fantastical fairy tale and whimsical sort of adventure stories that I loved growing up. Falls into YA as far as complexity and rating, and can be easily read and enjoyed by all ages. Really sort of takes me back to why I love reading, and reading for just enjoyment of the storytelling. Will probably be sitting right there with Howl's Moving Castle, 1001 Arabian Nights and Stardust. Excited to pick up the next books to find out how the tale ends. Edited after reading final books still enjoyed but will edit to a 4.
