hawkwing_lbBook 166, Fiction 156:
156. Bloodring, Faith Hunter.
The cover copy lies. Despite the red herring lust interest and the cover quote by Kim Harrison, this? Is a very good book. With juicy post-apocalyptic worldbuilding, angels, demons, mages, and battles.
I appear to have something of a weakness for merciless angels in fiction. This book takes a little while to get rolling. But about page fifty, things start cracking along. Nicely. And after that it really doesn't disappoint.
I really quite like a book that uses Revelations in its world-building while remaining neutral on the question of whether God exists. That? Is just plain cool.
Good book.

It turns out I have appropriate music for this post, too. Well perhaps not entirely appropriate, but the title sounds close.
