A lot happens in this book. Everything from an angel warrior trial to Penryn and Beliel to escaping to hell through memories to recruit warrior, from a strained love story to an epic battle to mankind and angels. I enjoyed Susan’s depiction of the apocalypse once again and the constant movement of this novel. There was never a quiet time, never time to sit back and relax, and Susan Ee did a good job of keeping the readers on our toes.

There were times where I just wanted to curse the characters. Some authors can create characters so real who make decisions as if they are actual real people, and there are some authors who can’t write characters in a way that makes them come alive. Susan Ee is in between. There were some actions and decisions that were so stupid and unrealistic, even for her novel, that made the characters seem like just another figment of imagination, while there were other decisions that made them dynamic and real. Of course, the characters were never entirely flat and they were always moving and breathing, but, especially in the resolution, there was no reader to character connection whatsoever.

I’m not going to lie, I kind of hated the ending. It was far too cheesy to be an ending to a trilogy like Susan Ee’s trilogy. It was nothing like I expected, and the resolution happened in a matter of pages as if there was never any conflict at all.

Overall, this novel was great. The characters were fun, the plot was a rollercoaster, but the ending was just too cheesy. Otherwise, I loved it and enjoyed the read very much.
3 stars.
