Bloodring by Faith Hunter
4.0
Wasn't sure what to expect from this book but I really enjoyed it. I wondered if a book about angels (seraphs) would end up being a neo-christian/get ready for the rapture kind of story - but nothing could be further from the truth.
The premise of this story is actually quite fascinating, and I think unique. A true post-apocalytic world, after the seraphs unleashed plagues and destroyed the bulk of humanity, a race of souless (but I doubt that) neomages tha control stone, metal, earth, sea and lots and lots of darkness. Definitely some great world building and I'm a sucker for angels that kick ass (in the bible, it usually wasn't a good thing when an angel showed up). At times things kind of plodded on when it came to describing the conjuring (or her outfits), but all in all, the desire to see more of the world Hunter has created and a likable/sympathetic heroine kept me glued to the pages.
