I continued reading the series simply because of the dark world the author had created and his dark take on angels and gods.

The books continues to follow the story of the angel, Dill, and the assassin, Rachel. Dill, more than ever, reminded me of a convenient plot device, a pawn that everyone liked to move around for their amusement, still wasn't real interested in the character. Luckily he was always surrounded by much more interesting characters or environments which kept my interest.

Much to my disappointment, Carnival made only a brief appearance in the book. Ah well.. on to book 3.
