I went through a string of angel books that failed to click with me, including Hush, Hush, before reading Unearthly. I read about 30 pages of Halo before deciding it wasn't going to work out, either. My track record with angel books was so lousy, I was a little worried that the next one I tried was going to burn when I touched it or something. Fortunately, that didn't happen, lol.Lee @ Rally the Readershttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03316252000736657757noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3873992034703741659.post-41943738059625934752013-02-14T00:52:30.134-05:002013-02-14T00:52:30.134-05:00I've had a rocky relationship with angel books...I've had a rocky relationship with angel books myself and was relieved to find out that this one was so unlike the others that I'd read.

It's different from Daughter of Smoke and Bone and The Mortal Instruments, both of which I have read, in that it focuses solely on angels. You have both the good kind and the bad kind (called Black Wings), and the Black Wings' role becomes increasingly prominent as the series goes on. I'd say that the emphasis of the first book is more on Clara's struggle to balance being a normal teenager with fulfilling her angelic purpose. Naturally, the two are often at odds with one another.<br /><br />I hope this helps.

Is it fair to compare it to the series Fallen in terms of the way Angels are described or is it better then that particular series? I'm not the biggest Fallen fan, but the only other angel relate book I've read is Daughter of Smoke and Bone and any mention of angels in Mortal Instruments.
