At the same fourth dimension, vehement and eerie events effectually the world threaten to wipe out entire populations.

Achangel's State of war is a tension-filled, intense read.  You volition cheer and you will cry and information technology will be everything you hoped it would be.

I know what you lot are thinking. You wouldn't torture us with a review of a book that nosotros have been dying to read and even so won't exist out for another three months, would you?

SPOILER Warning!

If you haven't read Archangel's Prophecy, walk away now!  If yous were waiting to read it because of the bewilderment, go at present it'due south time to catch up on your reading.

While I will keep down the amount of spoiler-type data discussed, in that location are a few tidbits that must come out if we talk about this at all. So let me tell you now:

#1 Elena volition emerge as Elena. Raphael and Elena succeed in keeping the Cascade from robbing Elena of her personality.  Information technology would be a very tiresome book if Elena was just a walking battery with no personality. She too emerges sans her beautiful midnight and dawn wings.  Cry your tears now and go that out of the manner.

via GIPHY

#2 Lijuan volition exist back. Run into higher up championship "ARCHANGEL'S War"!!

OK! Permit's talk.

In Archangel's Prophecy, the sleeping Archangel Cassandra tells Elena that her body is falling apart because the Cascade is trying to turn her into a vessel to agree power for Raphael. Of course, in gild to become the vessel to concord power, everything that makes her Elena (memories, personality, etc) volition exist wiped away. Why? Because it will scare us obviously.  Nosotros can't lose Elena and then nosotros take spent nearly a year fretting almost this plough of events.   Simply as we finished the concluding story, we had to watch as she slowly loses muscle coordination and strength and simply falls apart — including the disintegration of her beautiful angel wings.    She is becoming human once again.   As well in our complete dedication to accepting any plot point in an Urban Fantasy, we completely accept that this homo  turned angel turned man once again is absorbed into a chrysalis like a caterpillar.  We don't go — what? Information technology's Nalini Singh, and so nosotros get — Oh, no!

via GIPHY

In the end, Raphael takes a portion of his eye and puts it into Elena's chest and puts her failing homo heart into the remainder of his center and they both go to sleep to recover.  Again, every bit fans we accept this without hesitation.    As you can imagine, this activeness will cause changes in both Elena and Raphael.

The Cascade seeks chaos and as Lijuan grew into her crazy, zombie making powers, it has shot all kinds of crazy powers into the other Archangels to compensate.   In Archangel's War,it is far from done causing changes to the archangels and to Elena every bit well.  This is how nosotros know that Lijuan will be returning and that her powers have been increasing since she disappeared.   The Cascade keeps jacking up anybody's abilities and creating new ones because there is no chaos if all the ability is one-sided.

The Pour is likewise creating another dangerous phenomenon and waking several ancient archangels who have been sleeping.If you call back, and if you don't you are reminded in this story, archangels tin't hang around each other for too long since their joined powers create unbalance.  When Alexander awoke in Archangel's Enigma,it created a trouble since at that place should only be ten archangels who brand upwards the cadre who are awake any any 1 fourth dimension and everyone was very concerned about an eleventh archangel.  Simply then Lijuan went to sleep so everyone breathed a sigh of relief because they were dorsum to ten.   Now, we on the verge of a major war, things are going crazy in China, and in that location are fashion too many archangels hanging around causing as much of an imbalance equally the Cascade. And one of those waking archangels is a consummate shock and will causing be causing a lot of tension between some of our favorite characters in future stories.

via GIPHY

As I said, Lijuan is dorsum and if you idea she was scary-crazy in prior stories, she'south got herself a Cascade boost to level psycho-crazy in this story. So much so that the other archangels are like…

via GIPHY

When it is finally fourth dimension to become down to the battle, you lot will demand to make certain you lot cancel all plans. Seriously, you are going to need to block out a several hours in order to read the last tertiary in one become. There will be no putting it down and going to sleep in the middle of this boxing.  You are not going to be able to terminate reading and become to piece of work.  I foresee an Archangel Influenza hitting the earth in September when everyone suddenly calls in sick to work.

Things are going to become real earlier this story ends and it is not going to exist all rainbows and puppies for our side. Bad things are going to happen and many tears will exist shed.

via GIPHY

Achangel's War is a tension-filled, intense read.  Yous will cheer and you will cry and it will be everything you lot hoped it would be.  The best part is that while it might exist the end of the story arc, information technology is not the end of the series.   I can't await to see what comes next.

Favorite Scene:

She just worked out the source was a groundcover plant when a movement from the taller building to the right defenseless her heart. It proved to be a flutter of color situated a couple of stories higher than her electric current position; her first thought was that someone was near to lose a towel they'd hung over the railing to dry out.

Then her brain put all of the pieces together.

Elena began to run, her heart pulsating in her mouth. She knew her voice couldn't travel that far, only she yelled out a desperate warning to whoever was looking after the toddler who'd managed to climb over the balcony railing and was now clinging to it by his fingertips while his legs kicked helplessly in the air. He had to be screaming, simply no one ran out of the flat to rescue him.

No angels in the sky. Urizen deep inside his habitation. No i on a nearby balcony who could scramble to get to the kid. Raphael was fast, but she had no thought of his current location and the child had a affair of seconds at best.

Shit. Shit. Shit.

She touched her mind to Raphael's anyway, because if this all went how she idea it would, both she and the little boy would need healing. Serious healing.

Raphael! Urizen's place!

No more time.

She couldn't fly. But her bones had been pronounced immortal strong. And seven stories was survivable for an immortal of iii hundred if she fell correctly and made sure her head didn't get separated from her cervix. Decapitation would be a serious bummer to her desire to spend eternity with Raphael.

All these thoughts and more passed through her listen in the second information technology took her to cantankerous one-half the length of the roof. The rest of the time, she spent calculating her odds. The distance betwixt the 2 buildings wasn't huge. If she jumped at the right moment and aimed her torso weight perfectly, she could put herself in the correct position to grab the piffling guy earlier he barbarous. Ringlet her trunk over and around him and her stronger bones would take the impact of the autumn.

One of the toddler'southward hands lipped off the railing.

He was going to fall at any second.

Elena'south foot hit the edge of the roof and she launched herself into the air, her eyes never leaving the child.

He lost his terminal grip just every bit a frantic female face appeared at the balcony. Her terror shattered the quiet, but Elena barely heard it, her body flight through the air. Angles, wight, position, her hunter'southward mind worked it all out with ruthless efficiency…and a pocket-sized, screaming weight fell into her arms, the momentum of the take hold of sending her tumbling.

Fuck, this was going to hurt. Bad.
