The Night Angel Trilogy

I finished the book and all I can say is wow. I think that a lot of the reason that I enjoyed it was the honesty of it. There are so many books that just don’t seem to have honest endings; they have cop outs that give everyone a happy ending that just doesn’t seem to fit. I always hate it when they do that. Do they think that their readers won’t be able to deal with it, or can they just not bear to do that to their characters? It’s just like what they did to the northern lights and it drives me nuts.

The night angel trilogy was amazing because it never did that. The book had some really dark parts, parts that never got explained, and some really sad bits. Yes I did cry, the book was very sad, and I predicted most of the ending as well, though oddly that did not annoy me. The book was honest, the author did not try hard to avoid cliché as so many do (and inevitably just make it worse.) I think that is what made the book great.

I liked how I could believe in the characters. I liked the amazing lines and how power and love corrupted and turned good characters into rapists and mass murderers. I think he had the most successful use of prophesy I’ve seen in a while. I loved how it all made sense and didn’t give anything away.

I loved the line it came down to. Seriously awesome, and something you might actually say. Whatever. Awesome book. I demand you read it, and I demand you ship and don’t take the obvious choices. I also demand you play guess the royalty and try to work out which of the males are or will be, or have been royalty.

READ IT!
