A Flight of Angels explores the diverse mythology that surrounds angels through a series of short stories, all connected through a group of mythological creatures (faeries and the like) who have stumbled upon a fallen angel. The group calls a tribunal to decide the angels fate, and they each have a different idea of what angels are supposed to be. And they each have a different idea about what they should do with the angel they have found. Should they kill him or let him live?

I think the main thing that I liked about this book was the images. I don't typically pick up graphic novels, but this one intrigued me both because of its artwork, and because of the reviews it has gotten online. The story line wasn't particularly interesting, but the authors did include a lot of interesting spins on original myths, like the Adam and Eve story about the fall of man. I also thought that the ending was a little abrupt, and didn't really seem to fit with the rest of the story, at least for me. However, looking passed the story line, the main reason people should pick up this book are for the gorgeous images. Rebecca Guay does a phenomenal job with the paintings and artwork for this book, and I think it would be worth a second read just to go through and look at the pictures.

As for a classroom setting, I don't really see anyway this particular book could be taught, because of the content and some of the images do include nudity. However, I think it would be a good book to keep around in a classroom library, at least at the upper high school lever. A student interested in faeries and angels, or a book series like The Mortal Instruments may be interested in something like this.
