![]() ![]() In Wicked Gentlemen, author Ginn Hale takes us to an alterate world where angels who fell from Heaven in Lucifer's war have asked God for salvation and redemption and returned to the human realm. I'm looking forward to more from Ginn Hale. The lack of explicit sex wasn't a disappointment for me, although I would be happy to discover any fanfic that expands on Harper and Belimai's relationship! (I admit I found Belimai a bit whiny at times but that's probably just me). ![]() The characters of Belimai and Harper are engaging and I liked how their relationship was emerging by the end of the book. If I'd been told it was a book about a flying junkie demon I'd probably not have bothered, but the author manages to carry off the more outré fantasy elements with aplomb. ![]() I really enjoyed her writing style and the fact the decent little plot manages to hold it's own and not just become a vehicle for the slashiness. That said, Ginn Hale keeps the pace up and manages to successfully split the story into two parts with different styles of narrative - an interesting move. I love the alternate-reality take on Christianity and would have liked to explore the story of the Prodigals leaving hell and the structure of the inquisition-policed society a bit more. ![]() I'm usually happy to go with the flow and not have everything spelled out but in the case of WG, the rich setting could have done with more explanation. I felt it was just a bit too truncated and not fleshed out enough. ![]()
