The title of this is pretty on the mark in summarizing this book. Things have come to a head with Lijuan’s gluttonous quest for power as the Angel of death and it is up to all the other archangels including the newly-risen Sleepers to kill her. Unfortunately, she feeds off death and is pretty impossible to kill.
I’m usually not one for extended, overly-detailed fight scenes or war scenes. But I think this author executed a book that was pretty much fight scene and military strategy ad nauseum but did it so well that I was in suspense waiting to learn how things would turn out.
With the way things ended in this book, I wonder where this series is going next.
