This novel I bought some time ago to give away at a book club. When little interest developed, I became the permanent owner of this young adult novel. Or is it a young adult novel? Thomas E. Sniegoski introduces the reader to a world of fallen angels...some good, some bad...all seeking a world that each cannot quite obtain.
The so-close biblical references bothered me some. As a matter of fact, this novel took me a very long time to read. I could only read a few pages at a time, and then I was ready to put it down. I have never had quite such an experience with a a novel. Not sure if that was a good thing or not. Not sure if my religious side was concerned or bothered...or simply intrigued. Need to ponder on this some more.
The novel introduces us to Aaron who is learning that he was born to be an angel...literally. Aaron struggles with this much-unwanted angelic being he seems destined to become, a role through which he will save the world.
This novel is the first of four in the series. Will I continue to read the series? Maybe.
