The Day The Angels Fell by Shawn Smucker

3.0

Poignant. Wise. A little bit fantastical! There was so much that I took away from the story. So many passages that I marked to come back to and ponder. So much wisdom. I really, really liked this book. There were just a few things about the end that didn't *quite* hang together for me so I can give it a full 5*.

I do love that this book really explored the idea of death in a way that felt relatable, but brought in some otherworldliness as well. It felt very mythological in tone (clearly based on elements of Christianity).

Solid middle grade read!
