Angel of Death A Love Story Children of the Fallen Volume 1 Anna Erishkigal Books

Fascinating is the first word that comes to mind. Epic, breathtaking, captivating, and compelling are a few more.

A love story at it's core, Angel of Death is a fantasy based on Earthly history and Heavenly myth. Earth is a hellmouth that must be guarded by creatures of and from Heaven against incursions of the evil Moloch and his minions. Middle East conflicts through the millennia are background for the battles fought between Moloch's operatives and Heaven's agents. I found the Earthly and Heavenly politics to be a bit cumbersome, but ultimately, did not hinder the love story.

Azrael, the Angel of Death, is a solitary being that cannot touch anyone without killing them. Elisabeth bears the scars of a childhood accident which left her lame, orphaned, and lonely too. While the battles rage, Azrael and Elisabeth are two souls finding each other after 2,300 years apart. The romance between Azrael and Elisabeth was touching in so many ways!

This is not a light-hearted fantasy. It is serious, complex, transcendental, and at times, heartbreaking. But Angel of Death does have it's lighter moments. Several wonderful secondary characters add as much humor as they do drama, Lucifer being one of my favorites. Yes, I said 'Lucifer'!

Read this book if you like fantasy, angels (not guardian), romance, and history. Or if you just want to read a good story!

Angel of Death A Love Story Children of the Fallen Volume 1 Anna Erishkigal Books Reviews

After I finished “Agents of Ki” Book 3 in the Sword of the Gods series, I was so desperate to get to book 4 that I actually contacted the author on facebook to ask when she was publishing it. Anna is still working on the book, but guided me to her new series “The Children of the Fallen”. This is a book that happens a couple of millenniums after the original book and it is based in modern times. It deals with a young angelic by the name of Azreal, who finds himself the subject of a bet between Hashim and his old enemy the Dragon known as Shaytan. It is a whole new story dealing with new people and current world events. Although you do manage to get a sneak peek in to what happened to all the major players in the first series. It is just as fascinating as the older series and now I am stuck waiting for the next book in both!
This book provides a sympathetic portrayal of the angel of death and Lucifer. It does for the Bible what Wicked does forThe Wizard of Oz

The main plot of the book concerns Azazael, the angel who helps people let go of their bodies, and his long-term relationship with a female human from Chicago.

There's a lot of Abrahamic mythology. I loved reading all that; though sometimes I was confused. I often had to consult Wikipedia. I don't think this is a negative though. It's great to read a book that makes me want to learn more!

The book is extremely romantic. Soulmate type of stuff.

The mythology in the book is woven around recent events in the Middle East. I liked how the author gave a new twist to things we have all seen in the news....or experienced ourselves.
I think with work, this had potential to be better. A lot of the ideas were unique and very interesting. The relationship between Azrael and Elissar from the beginning was very sweet. You could see a little bond forming between them. But I think that things changed much too quickly and she was taken from him too soon before we got a true grasp on their bond forming. They meet again after she is reborn as Elizabeth, and there was many sad scenes of her losing her family in the car crash and the time in foster homes.

What I did not like was how it was until about 54% of the way through that Elizabeth and Azrael actually start conversing. Before that and many times after things began to become a little dull for me after that point. I started skimming the many - and I mean MANY - scenes of war and surgery. As a Love Story, I was hoping for so much more interaction between Elizabeth and Azrael. So it was disappointing that we were treated with so few and very little interaction between the two.

The dialogue also needs work. I can't tell you how many times the word 'um' was used in conversations. We understood that he was shy and hesitant (which to me, is stranger considering how old he is. You'd think he would have grown out of that a bit), but the constant break in dialogue using the word 'um' broke the flow. It became repetitive and annoying after a while.

I really enjoyed the way Azrael was formed. It was very different and made the ending so much more profound when they were finally able to be together. I loved his caring, selfless nature, and the love he had for Elizabeth.
The warnings about the book the author included were not necessary for me as I'm pretty open to new story lines. This author has a unique style, one that grabbed me from the get-go. I read the other review about the protagonist being a tad self-righteous and I do understand that and yet given her story, it makes sense.
I am VERY glad that this book was written because I have read through the first three of The Swords of the Gods Saga...not realizing there are 2 more that will be forthcoming. This book gives clues as to the outcome of those three, which helps during the waiting period!
Overall the author, her series, shorter stories and this book are captivating(can't put it down even way too late at night on a work night) and stunning...Compared to some of the self-published books I've read on this wins hands down, and should be controversial enough to be a best seller! Hats off to the writer, her imagination and ability to share...great gift to the reading world. Thank you!
