Taylor took the star-crossed lovers tale into her hands and wove an imaginative new story of a world beside our own where the slaves of angels rise up to take their freedom. A war rages for over a hundred years. Friends are betrayed and love is tested.
I couldn't put this book down. The author did an amazing job getting me involved with the characters. I really enjoyed the creatures and how well they were described. Poor Karou, all she wants is to know who and what she is, but knowledge is a dangerous thing. And Akiva, the tortured soul, thinking his love was gone forever only to find her and lose her again. I'm certainly hoping for a happy ending for them.  
Would I suggest you read it... YES!!  Do it!
