This book was decent until the end.

Follow the Archangel Raphael and the MC, Penryn, who's definitely-going-to-be his girlfriend, through the Apocalypse? Sure, why not? Raph's cool. Try to find Pen's sister after she's kidnapped for nefarious, unknown purposes? Sweet. Find out Uriel's the villain in the last act, after there's no build up, just coming outta left field? What the actual fuck. Why? That completely throws me out of the book and just into "Why? For what purpose?" Okay, the stated purpose is that Uriel wants to become "The Messenger" after Gabriel instead of Raph, because everyone listens to The Messenger, who is also essentially The Voice of God for angels as well as humanity, essentially making The Messenger the top angel or whatever, but... that...doesn't sound like Uriel. Considering Penryn clocks Uriel as "The Politician" and the Wiki for Angelfall says that Uriel, despite having a sword, doesn't know how to use it? I don't want to read the next book to find out what else is said/happens.  No. That's a world of no.

Props to Uriel for putting together a 1920s themed swanky party, though. Putting together a party's hard af.
