Dark Angels by Katherine Langrish
1.0
I was a bit disappointed by this story, because from the title and description, it seems like it would be a really scary story. in the end, i only read half of the book. By halfway through, very little had happened and there didn't seem to be much going on at all. I wasn't that interested in the characters either, they were a bit dull and didn't have much about them that was interesting. it was a shame, because it seemed like this would be really excellent.
Part of the problem could have been that I have read a lot of young adult books recently, and most of them have been brilliant, hooking you right from the start, whereas this one didn't seem to be going anywhere.
all in all, disappointing. the characters weren't particularly interesting, the story wasn't as scary or mystical as it described it to be. perhaps if i'd managed to read the 2nd half, I would change my mind, but it just wasn't good enough to keep me reading.
