This book has gotten a lot of hype and it's been on my list of books to read (which is quite extensive) for quite some time. After the Twilight incident I've been very cautious about books that get a lot of hype but this one deserves most of it.
Although this blog does not yet reflect it, I love to read books about angels, daemons and lore of any sorts and this book has no shortage of them. It started back when i read The Fallen by Thomas Sniegoski and that book and series really set the bar for books of such a nature (similarly to the Tortall books by Tamora Pierce). Because of this I believe I didn't enjoy the book as much as I might have and it has distorted my view on the book.
I've spent a great deal of time studying lore and when slight changes are made it gets under my skin really easily and for this reason I rate this book 5 runes out of ten. Not great but not terrible. It's a very fast paced book and an excellent weekend read.
