5/11/2023 0 Comments Archangel shinn novel![]() ![]() At the very least, read its prequel, Archangel first. ![]() ![]() If you haven’t read the other novels in the Samaria series, don’t bother picking this up. Feeling intrigued? Just a quick warning: Angel-Seeker is not for the uninitiated. Sounds like an old SF chestnut? Well, Samaria has a rather interesting twist: a small portion of the population consists of gorgeous winged beings called angels, whose jobs are to fly into the stratosphere to sing prayers to a God named Jovah (who provides whatever help is needed, from medicines for a plague outbreak to intercessions for inclement weather). Her newest novel, Angel-Seeker, is the fifth book set in Samaria, a world populated with refugees from a destroyed Earth. Oh sure, there’s usually some nominal bit of intrigue to her plots and some of them feature interesting SF concepts (even if they’re not particularly well-fleshed out), but her stories are all about people falling in love. A romance novelist who sets her stories in different worlds from ours, and there’s not a whole lot of bumpin’ and grindin’ going on like there is in most mainstream romances, but all her novels thus far have centered around love stories. Sharon Shinn is typically classified as a science fiction/fantasy author, but really, she’s a romance novelist. ![]()
