Because your people have made me the name of evil." The Angel's voice is steely and at the sme time wounded. "But even with all my imaginations, with all my time, I could not dream up the cruelties that you and your kind inflict on one another every minute of every day. The worst evils are the ones you justify with your religions and laws and piety. But then there are evils so terrible you can't justify them, even with your most twisted logic, even with your most absurd religions, and those evils are the evils that you blame on me."
Oh, Lord. It was ridiculously exciting to find out there was a sequel to The Descent. In all honesty, the mix of archaeology and themes of mythology and religion as well as the amazing character that is Allie... I would've read it no matter how good or bad it was. But thankfully, Long did not disappoint. We dwell deeper into the lore, and I'm all for it.
But as interesting the story and its themes are, I felt there was so much more I wanted to know. Not just as "fun facts" but I also felt it lacked a satisfactory amount of answers, even as I feel like the lack of answers in other aspects are fitting. During the first book, I wanted more because it was so interesting and so good, but during this one, I wanted more mostly because this time it felt like another book was needed. Although, that might just be because I wouldn't mind another five books.
