feliciaday 's review for:
Angelology
by Danielle Trussoni
Well...the cover is FABULOUS.
Ok guys, I will admit it: I don't like nuns. I mean, not on a PERSONAL level, but their world view is not compelling in a general fictional sense, and they've always bugged me since one of my first acting classes when I had to play Agnes of God in a scene, and I remember I spilled Coke on myself during the performance and broke character and got yelled at. So this could be my personal problem with one of the main characters that is skewing my opinion. Because she's a nun. To be clear.
There was just WEIRD world building in this book. I couldn't grasp onto it, nothing ever felt REAL to me, so it was hard for me to suspend disbelief. I think there was some interesting lore invented here, and some compelling characters, but it was just a bit confusing for my tastes. Probably it was the nun thing. Sally Field was so creepy to me as a kid with that outfit on too, like, she could never get in a sportscar, am I right?!
Anyhoo, I think if you like Dan Brown's books this is JUST PERFECT for you. So there are tons of people out there who will like it. I wanted a bit more fantasy in this urban fantasy, that's all.
Nuns, sigh.
