Armageddon by Thomas E. Sniegoski

3.0

Finally finished this series after months of trying to get a hold of the last books and...it was underwhelming. I may be being pedantic, but after realizing the first editions were printed in 2001-3 and the second at least in 2013, I'd think that's enough time for the author to search up frequently used phrases such as "So-and-so would not stand for it" (I actually started trying to keep a count of this because it was so eye-twitchingly annoying to see every other page) and to make sure he got basic grammar right for the angelic choirs and their names. (-im denotes 3 or more beings in Hebrew from what little I know about it, thus the author was able to use a word such as Malakim or Nephilim both correctly and incorrectly on the same page, often in the same paragraph. He could have solved this easily by just taking off the -im when referring to a singular person or use it as part of a phrase such as "one of the Malakim/Nephilim/etc.")

Also, the epilogue made Aaron look like a ponce for all of the five minutes it took for me the reader to realize that he and Vilma already knew she was pregnant. It legitimately looked like Aaron didn't know what an ob/gyn's pregnancy exam and equipment did for the time it took me to get to Vilma asking how the baby was doing.

The Jeremy and Enoch scenes were nice. Could have done with a Jeremy-meets-Enoch-post-re-Metatroning scene, though. Also Lucifer and Taylor; she seemed more human with him around. There just seemed to be a lack of a bit of catharsis for some of the characters throughout and at the end.
