Armageddon. We know this to be a day when good vanquishes evil, light triumphs over dark, and God wins out over Satan. Or does He? In Daniel Arenson's "Flaming Dove," a conflict between Heaven and Hell has yielded no transparent winners, and, 27 years later, we find both sides tired and uncertain of a subsequent step. Unsure, that is, until a day Laila, a half demon/half angel child of Armageddon's many absolute forces, earnings to Jerusalem, and any side starts to delineate a plan.
Set opposite a backdrop of a post-apocalyptic Earth, where demons and angels have staid into an nervous co-existence, and humans are all though extinct, Laila struggles to find her place. Heaven's godlight browns her, Hell's hellfires whip her. She is of dual worlds, though can go to neither. Incredibly clever physically, emotionally vulnerable, and full of fury opposite both worlds, Laila unwillingly finds herself a pivotal actor in a stability conflict between good and evil.
Although filled with sparkling conflict scenes, and a expel of characters famous to us all (Nathaniel, Lucifer, Beezlebub, Michael, to name a few), this is truly Laila's story. As Laila struggles to find her place, angels and demons comparison try to use her for their possess end. Each side believes Laila to be a pivotal to victory. It is shortly apparent that a whole outcome of Armageddon depends on this one soul, and such an reluctant essence during that.
This book is a pleasant read, with liquid essay and a good pacing of movement interspersed with proposal moments. It was easy to get into this story, and tough to put it down. we adore a approach zero is unequivocally cut and dry via this story; a Ruler of Hell is not though merits, and a archangels not though sin. The author unequivocally army we to take a step behind and doubt where a line between good and immorality indeed falls, if there is even such a line. The story seems predictable, though we was astounded many times with a events heading adult to a consummate of a story. Even when we suspicion we had finished a story, there was one final warn watchful for me during a end, a warn that unequivocally gathering home a categorical thesis of a story. Best of all, a finale did what all a best endings do; it left me with something to ponder.

I was advantageous adequate to be one of a beta readers for Flaming Dove, and we can unequivocally contend that we positively desired this novel by Arenson. One of a categorical things we desired about it is how he dealt with a really notions of good and evil. In many books, we immediately know who a protagonists and antagonists are. However, Arenson has combined characters that have some-more abyss than your common hero, or your standard bad guy. Don't we all have concepts of angels vs demons? In Flaming Dove, an angel is not what we consider an angel is, nor are a devils in this book. Now supplement a half-demon and half angel, and what do we get? A truly singular judgment and really opposite characters.
My usually critique is that Arenson maybe describes a categorical character's voluptuous garment a few times, though hey, who can censure him? Laila is flattering hot. ;)
Fantasy these days seem to revolve around a same concepts (maybe we're all a small vampire crazy). Arenson has joined a divine with a evil, a hurtful with pure, and combined a component that creates we describe to his characters: humanity. Hope we suffer it as most as we did!
