The Day The Angels Fell by Shawn Smucker

3.0

Very readable, and the characters and story were likable enough. I'm a sucker for the small town/rural coming of age story. However, there were few surprises here. The story kept on as you suspected it would, nearly from page one, with no shifts or changes in the expected roles of each of these players and events. Kept waiting for some depth to emerge from the mythology story, or some further exploration of the potentially very interesting theme of the necessity of death in a damaged world. Missed opportunities there, but still kept me engaged.
