Angel Star is a dream sequence... That is honestly the best way I can sum it up. The entire story feels like it's come from another dimension. The connection Teagan and Garreth have, the angels, the part Teagan plays in the bigger picture--all a dream.
Angel Star takes off from the first page and doesn't stop from there. We (the readers) are swept up in the confusing tale of angels and the fallen. I can only feel for Teagan. The poor chick gets thrown into a war she didn't know existed and has to find a way to hold her own. Garreth is another story altogether, being the one who pulls Teagan into the world of angels. He struggles with a lot throughout the story, and I'm interested to see what the sequel Lemniscate has in store for him.
All that being said, Angel Star is a fast, yet emotional, read. With classic elements of light and dark, some teenagers saving the world, and a love triangle thrown in, Angel Star has something for everyone.*
{OK, SPOILER ALERT}
I really hope Teagan stops trying to suppress the fact that she's HOT FOR HADRIAN. She admits it to herself, so she needs to admit it to lover boy and go to the dark side. Yeah, I'm just slightly Team Hadrian. (;
If you've read Angel Star, what team are you on, if any? Why?
*I'm trying to make my reviews shorter, since usually they're LONG. Do you like the short reviews better? Or more in depth?
