The sixth installment in the Guild Hunter series, Archangel’s Legion is an excellent blend of Urban Fantasy and Paranormal Romance. Writing about this book for me is more like “book appreciation” than anything else, for how can you review a book that you already loved?
My fifth reread at the least convinced me that I have to put into writing what I love about this book and why this is my favorite of the series.
Beautiful Writing
I fell in love first with Nalini Singh’s lovely prose. She is that rare artist of words who superbly balances elegance with edgy and gritty dialogue.
Elegant discription of a vampire’s scent:
Copper dust and cinnamon spice, with an underlying hint of burnt oak.
Complex and interesting and unique.
And then this dialogue:
“I always wanted to ask something,”…
Ransom made a face when she described what she’d picked up from the passing vamp. “Yeah, except I don’t say shit like ‘cinnamon spice with a hint of burnt oak.’ I say ‘dude smells like an electrified tree with a side of doughnut topping.'”
