A review by billymac1962
Archangel by Sharon Shinn
3.0
This is one that was recommended to me by a visitor to my site, and it was pretty good. I love getting recommendations for books I would never have heard of otherwise.
Archangel is part of a series....kinda. Apparently the other two novels in the same world serve as standalones but at different points in time. One thing really bugged me about this novel though:
not the story, but on the very first page inside the cover is a revelation about the world that isn't even revealed in the story itself. I don't know if you can call this a spoiler or not, but it is a pretty world-altering revelation, at least it is for the inhabitants of Samaria. I just wish this would have at least been discovered in the story, rather than discovering this before I even started it. I think it would have been a much better reading experience.
Oh well, it was a good read anyways. Good premise, angels, God, mortals and romance.
