Archangel by Sharon Shinn

My rating: 3 of 5 stars


Oh, you know, it’s your typical book about another planet where an angel rescues a woman from slavery and forces her to marry him because his god/an AI told him to. Oh, and he wears leather. The angel, not the AI.

This is actually not as batshit as I’m making it sound, though it’s still decidedly . . . Pernlike. Id vortex or bust, if you know what I mean, and it was mostly a bust for me. I don’t have an arranged marriage kink or an angel kink or any of the other seventeen kinks this book was hurling at me. And it could never quite decide if it was a clumsy little young adult bit of wanking, or something else. I mean, be silly wanking if you want, I don’t judge, just actually be it, or decide not to be it.

Not as sexually skeezey as expected, nor as emotionally immature. Actually pretty grown up and interesting when it forgot it was a book where all our heroes are righteous and the unrighteous get literally smited no really. But still.

Good to know. Who doesn't need cozy comfort fantasy sometimes.
