Hi Charaidean Cairde,
Today review is Asteria: Into the Fray by Adrienne Enfinger. Another one of my fantasy soft spots is anything Angel related, this is why Asteria peaked my interest.
Asteria feels lost and alone, she feels her only option is suicide.
But before she can make the final leap a handsome archangel interrupts her. Micah reveals to Asteria that she is no ordinary young women. She is not completely human, Asteria is a descendant of nephilim – part angel, part human. Her parents didn’t die in a car accident, but were killed in the eternal battle of good virus evil. Killed by the fallen Angel Azazel.
Asteria finds herself thrust into the middle of that war after discovering that she is part of a prophecy that can finally bring about its end. If Azazel does not kill her first. Now she joins forces with Micah and other forces of good to save mankind, hopefully Asteria will survive the war.
Asteria: Into the Fray is a great mixture of fantasy with religious iconography.
The premise of the book is really interesting, I liked the aspect of the prophecy that it a three person prophecy and not just everything on one person shoulders.
There are some great action moments as Asteria and Micah battle Azazel and evil band of demons, fallen angels and Sorceress.
The book packs a lot into its 270 pages, sometimes it feels that everything is happening very quickly. One moment Asteria doesn’t no she is a descendant of nephillim and the next moment she accepted it and is now fighting demons.
Asteria has a lot of potential, I am hoping if there is another book that we get to know more about the Asteria, Micah, Kendra and Grann.
My rating for Asteria: Into the Fray is 3.5 out of 5.
