Tread of Angels by Rebecca Roanhorse
3.0
I got Tread of Angels from NetGalley in exchange for an honest review.
I was really looking forward to this as I’ve enjoyed Rebecca Roanhorse’s previous work, especially Black Sun and a lot of her short stories.
I also thought this would have everything I wanted from a fantasy book, demons, angels, kickass women, and a sort of steam punkiness empowered through the body of a fallen angel.
It was good but it felt that it was missing just that little bit of oomph, Celeste was a good character but not great, the others around her felt a bit thin.
Enough of a plot for me to actually finish, and Rebecca’s good writing keeping it going, worth a read but don’t expect too much
