Love the idea behind the story, but the rest... When I started I was hooked. Skyla has my dry, sarcastic kind of humor. I liked the way she thinks, because it resembles mine. I also liked her way of describing situations and people. At the beginning. Her use of similes and analogies is great and sometimes rather poetic. But then again, it is way too much. After a few pages I became overwhelmed by the sheer density of them. Don't get me wrong, I love me a good simile. But please don't bombard me with them. Believe it or not, you CAN state things the way they are without getting all Goethe or Shakespeare. It didn't take long and I got the feeling that Moore was trying too hard to write a "good" book. Which is sad, because I like the idea of the story. Different kinds of angels with different abilities walking the earth, being initiated to the circle they belong to at a certain age. Fighting each other to be the ruler down on earth. And the purest of the angels, the Celestra, being in danger because of what they are and the Counts trying to kill them off ... I liked it. But the language is just too much. It is not like a real 17-year old would talk or think. (And I like to think that no decent 17-year old would act like Skyla does sometimes. Because lets face it: She is kind of a bitch. Just as much as Chloe.) Another thing besides the use of language that I didn't like were the short chapters. When I was about 50% done I suddenly asked myself if there weren't any parts missing and if I somehow bought a broken ebook. Because Moore makes those jumps in the story that leave me with the feeling that I missed something important. And Moore continues like that. I'm currently reading Vex (Celestra #5) and I still have that nagging feeling I missed half of the story somewhere. (If you aks yourself why I am still reading on despite not liking the books - and yes, I dislike the others just as much as I do this one - I am one of those who can't stop reading until they are done with a series, because they just want to know how it ends.) Ah well, I will read on, of course. But let me tell you, the story just gets crazier with every book.
