review 1: Not my favourite in this series although that is mainly because a good third of it is a battle and in the rest Elena and Raphael are fighting a lot. Doesn't mean it's not still a good story, extremely well written and surprising all the way through, just a lot of conflict I don't enjoy in these stories as much. Very nice however to get to know a few of the other characters a little more like Naasir.
review 2: I know what you’re thinking, that’s what I thought as well, “another Raphael and Elena book?” Apparently yeah… When I finished Archangel’s storm (which I loved) I expected another of the seven to follow. Instead what we get is another book about the never ending drama that is Raphael and Elena’s relationship. Don’t get me wrong. I like the
... more couple but I believe that the first three books in the series plus one more now, is simply too much. Even the third book was too much! The first two books, I loved! The third , not so much! (there was a point I dnf-ed the book and even considered abandoning the series if it continued thus) and now this…This book was a torture! The only reason I read it, was because I didn’t want to lose any major changes (not that there were any besides the legion)Just like the third book in the series this book was so unnecessary. Elena’s job and family drama goes on like usual. Hunting, investigating, fighting with her dad, having nightmares about her past and later crying about them to Raphael. This is the book in one sentence. I can’t believe this is the Elena we met in Angel’s blood. The same goes to Raphael as well. His mother is back (and despite what they are saying, she seems to be the most stable and sane of all the archangels) he’s the youngest archangel ever, he has found his soul mate, he has all the money he could ever need and humans think he is a God. How can someone have all that and yet be so lifeless? In contrast with Elena though, I felt like Raphael had improved. His powers continue to change and he acting more like the leader he is (but don’t get your hopes up yet)On the other hand, once again drama, drama and more drama (that’s actually a line I borrowed from my review of the third book in the series). How is it possible that all of the seven men in Raphael’s league, with Raphael included, have a hunted past?! That’s just absurd! And what’s wrong with all the women in this book! I felt like this book was a battle between men vs women and it’s really not hard to guess who’s the winner (hint- 3 letters). All of the female archangels are so crazy (in a bad way), Elena’s sister, Beth was such a fool for taking Harrison back! He apparently didn’t care for Beth since he decided to become a vampire without checking if Beth could be turned as well. What makes her believe that he’ll care for the baby?! And don’t let me start with Elena.There was however, one bright spot (maybe two) in the book. The legion and the big fight (ok, that one may not have been a bright spot but after being so bored , believe me you are doing to enjoy this one). Birds falling from the sky, rivers turning red, legions awaking! Fun stuff! Although, I felt like things got more complicated with them, I loved this new addition.Who’s next? Maybe Illium, Venom or Aodhan (or even Naasir! I don’t know why but I feel that I’m going to love his story). Anyway, I’m a bit hesitant about Illium. In every book the author keeps mentioning his fixation with Elena and the fact that he was once in love with a mortal and never quite got over her. If we get another book like Dmitri’s, I’m definitely abandoning the series. How can a book be romantic when the male can’t truly devote himself to the heroine? If Illium doesn’t get the book he deserves, then that’s the end of the series for me!Hopefully, the next Raphael and Elena book will be after everyone else gets their own story. less

Riveting, powerful and intense this book blew the other books out of the water and that is saying a lot. This series has been so much fun to read and Nalini Singh really created a high-powered action packed book in Archangel's Legion. Facing an end of the world as we know war, Raphael and Elena discover a new aspect to their mating in that what Elena thought was the weakest link in Raphael, Elena herself, ends up being his greatest weapon and greatest strength; their love.The go head to head again Lijuan, another archangel whose moniker is now Death and the fight scenes were brutal and relentless. Ms. Singh built the suspense, tension and raw emotion as each chapter unfolded to the last five chapters that gave this reader battle scenes of exhausting proportions.One word - Brilliant.I can't enough about The Guild Hunter's series other than along with Ms. Singh's other series The Psy/Changling novels, this author rocks the UF/PNR on epic levels.Can't wait until Archangel's Shadow comes out 10/28
