An Occupation of AngelsAn Occupation of Angels by Lavie Tidhar

My rating: 2 of 5 stars


A spy thriller novella about an alt history Cold War with angels. Would have been more interesting if I hadn’t already read Tim Powers’s Declare. As it is I have read that, and this is flat and personalityless. It has this style which basically consists of saying, yeah, if I was a short film, I’d be in black-and-white and I’d have all these weird jump cuts. Because that’s, like, artistic. But whatever, it was good background noise for lying around after having my wisdom teeth dug out with a pick and a trowel, so fine.



. . . And for one brief, shining moment, I am caught up on all my reviews.



Now all I have to do is never read again.
