Book Review:
In "Angel Falling" by A. D. Landor, a mix of detective and fantasy storytelling comes together to create an exciting tale of mystery, betrayal, and supernatural conflict.
The story is set in a world where there was once a big war between two groups: the Angels and the Vampiric Succae. Now, things are calmer, but there's still tension between them. Azshael, the main character, is an Angel who's been through a lot. He's been shunned by his own kind because he fell in love with someone from the other side. Despite this, he's given a new job: investigating the death of a Succae elite who was killed on Angelic territory. What makes it personal for Azshael is that the murder reminds him of his own lover's death.
As Azshael digs deeper into the case, he uncovers a bigger plot that could start the war all over again. He teams up with a Succae named Lytta, and together they discover secrets that could change everything.
The world-building in "Angel Falling" is impressive. Landor paints a vivid picture of two contrasting worlds: the bright, orderly realm of the Angels and the dark, mysterious domain of the Succae. Through these settings, we see themes like power, prejudice, and redemption explored in fascinating ways.
While some readers might find the fast pace of the story overwhelming, it's also what keeps it exciting. Landor doesn't waste time getting to the action, which means readers are constantly on their toes, eager to see what happens next.
In the end, "Angel Falling" is a captivating blend of fantasy and mystery that offers a fresh take on familiar themes. With its rich world-building and compelling characters, it's a story that will keep readers hooked from beginning to end.
