Singh returns with a new M/M “Guild Hunter” romance (following Archangel’s Sun). The angels Illium and Aodhan have been best friends for centuries: when Illium lost his mortal lover, Aodhan supported him; when Aodhan ventured back into the world after a horrific attack, Illium protected him. But since the Cascade and the destruction of Archangel Lijuan, Aodhan has been in China to help the new archangel Suyin, while Illium stood by Raphael to rebuild New York. Suffering from the distance, the two are at a breaking point in their relationship—made worse when Aodhan gets the chance to become Suyin’s permanent aide. Aodhan and Illium reunite in a destroyed Chinese village to track down more of Lijuan’s corrupted reborn, where they’re forced to confront romantic feelings in their friendship.
VERDICT Every “Guild Hunter” reader has strong feelings about Illium and Aodhan, and Singh has a talent for turning readers inside-out with her outstanding worldbuilding and characterizations. Fans will either love or hate this installment, depending on their feelings about the protagonists’ formerly platonic/newly romantic friendship, but it will be in high demand regardless. An essential purchase.
