This book wasn't bad, but it wasn't good either. I liked it, but I didn't love it. The plot was unique, I haven't heard of any YA books about archangels in a while, if ever. The characters were good too, they all had different perspectives and personalities but worked well together for most of the story. My big issue was that nothing came as a surprise to me while reading. It was predictable: the hero not believing he's supposed to be a hero, then starting to realize it's true after the antagonist does something terrible, and goes along with the plan mostly, while still falling for the girl and questioning his abilities. He's chosen and defeats the antagonist, everyone that matters survives the ordeal, but there's more to come later on.

Okay, so that summary probably sounded like I was picking it apart and I hated it, but I'm not and I didn't. I was just mostly indifferent towards this book, and that's honestly what it boiled down to in my mind.

Overall, it was an okay book. I wasn't on the edge of my seat, but I wasn't annoyed with it either. So, yes, I will be picking up the second book, although I will be going into it skeptically.
