Lords of Deception (Fallen Angels 5) by Auburnimp

[reviews_and_ramblings]

The Fallen Angels series is seriosly becoming an 101 course on catholic myths and legend; aside from some well know names, as Lucifer, Michael, Gabriel and Raphael, most of the Heavenly and Fallen Angels that are introduced book after book are totally new to me.

This series then is not really something you can pick whenever you want, since each book is really only a chapter in a whole and unique story, and in each chapter you are given a little piece of a puzzle to complete. Plus in each chapter the main “lovers” are different and the reader has the chance to understand two things: that, in real and fantasy life, jealousy and love is what move the world and that ambition and betrayal unfortunately is very common.

From a plot that seemed mostly limited to the dynamics between the Angels, we are slowly understanding that there is a bigger purpose behind some actions; book after book Angels are taking position, and sometime only a love bind is what move them on one side or the other, not much a real political or moral belief. Moreover it also seems that all the pretty Angels are good and all the average one are bad… so the reader can easily understand with whom he has to take side: if the Angel has long and curly hair, beautiful eyes and colorful wings, than he is a good one.
