This second book in the Angel's Edge series is an improvement over the first in that I was able to relax a little - the sinister atmosphere of the first book is gone in favour of more action right from the very start of the book.

That said, Caspia still irritated me quite a bit. She's impulsive, somehow thinks she can protect her loved ones without consulting them at all (particularly when it's obvious they're keeping many secrets from her), bumbling when she is pro-active and generally trying to keep her head in the sand otherwise. She laments a time when she didn't have to worry about all the threats that face her and chooses to embrace

Though we're up to three guys who might be interested in Caspia, I never felt the novel pushed anything other than the Caspia-Ethan romance. This is good, given what Ethan gave up for her in the first book in the series. I was thrilled that the novel was bold enough not to lean on the love triangle!

Generally speaking, Angel's Edge is a fantastic universe to spend time in. I loved the richness of the angel-Nephilium material, and the layers of magic and magical creatures in Whitfield.

Looking forward to the third book!

I liked it. Didn't really get the love triangle thing though. Otherwise it was a nice progression from book two.

My biggest gripe... the editing! There were typos, missing spaces between words and sentences, incorrect grammar... I felt like I was reading a high schooler's hastily 're-typed story. I know that one will appear every now and again, especially in the Kindle form. I can normally accept that and don't pay it much mind. However, this was just about every third page. Ms. Keire needs to fire whoever was responsible for the Kindle version.
