My Thoughts:                                                                                                     

The Last Archangel is exciting new paranormal novel about angels, full of bone-crunching badness! From fighting with giants to fires, there’s so much action going on in this book.

There are things about this story that I was impressed with but at the same time there were other aspects of the story that kind of fell flat for me.

The creativity of the story was amazing... the concept of the two parallel storylines coming together, with Eden and Xandir. Their stories separately were intriguing. Young had a very distinguished writing style, one that I haven't encountered in any previous young adult novels, it was as creative as the story it was telling.... very different. I was so engrossed in the story, and the characters were interesting, but they lacked the development that I needed to feel connected to them.

Although The Last Archangel didn’t completely wow me, it was still entertaining. I think that it will definitely appeal to other readers looking for a fast paced read ;)
