review 1: I’d be lying if I didn’t say Flights of Angels was a hard slog. Having not read the previous novels, I feel I may have been missing some background knowledge that may have made this novel more easily enjoyable yet I still ploughed on and felt, on the whole, it was an enjoyable read although the length may be a bit extreme.I particularly enjoyed Jamie’s tale, as he is trapped in the gulag and finds humanity in the strangest of places. I enjoyed the descriptive nature of the passages during this section and feel the author drew an extremely delicate and interesting portrait of Russia at the time. I also felt genuine empathy and connection with Pamela’s character. Throughout I felt she was the strongest and most interesting character by far although not far behind her... more came Pat and Kate, both of whom I felt deserved more of the story, considering its length.With over 700 pages, this novel isn’t a quick read and takes its time to get to its conclusion but the depth of characters this allows for makes it more acceptable. Generally engaging but slightly overwritten, definitely a novel I’m glad I read. Beth Townsend - The Kindle Book Review
review 2: Flights of Angels is the 3rd installment of the Exit Unicorn Series and, WOW, is it good! I've read all three books and my review today will talk about this book and the writer, Cindy Brandner.First, the story. Just be ready for a well played drama as things unfold for Casey & Pamela, Patrick and Jamie. There are ups and downs, light and darkness, and personal growth for all of these wonderful characters. You get drawn into a spiders web of intricate story lines, that are truly connected, even if they exist in different countries as the author takes you through the harshness of Belfast and the tranquil Irish countryside, as well as the harsh Russian landscape. If I had to sum up this story in one word it would - emotional. Each character is challenged in his or her own way and they must muster up the right amount of moxee to face their own personal demons and move forward. It's worth every minute to see how this story unfolds and the ending will leave you wanting more.Now, the author. I have read all of Cindy Brandner's novels and I can say I have seen a growth and evolution in her writing. Each book is excellent and it seems impossible for Ms. Brandner to get better, but she does. As a reader who wants to be entertained, challenged and learn something in each book I read, I am never disappointed in the Exit Unicorn Series. Ms. Brandner has a way with showing you the heart of the matter through her lyrical writing. But don't think its all flowery fluff. It's not. Ms. Brandner's writing is the perfect balance of beauty and directness - no piece of her puzzle is without purpose. She doesn't waste your time. You know what you are reading is important to the story, and the layers of each piece bring you to a place very few authors can: satisfaction.If you haven't read all of the Exit Unicorns Series, you need to get them all. Be ready to fall in love with a group of characters and an author who will truly make you believe in the magic of love, loyalty, family and friendship. less

This is Cindy's most mature work. Nobody could link Russia and Ireland so seamlessly.
