Archangel's Light

The Guild Hunter Series

De: Nalini Singh

Narrado por: Justine Eyre

Illium and Aodhan. Aodhan and Illium. For centuries they've been inseparable: the best of friends, closer than brothers, companions of the heart. But that was before - before darkness befell Aodhan and shattered him, body, mind and soul. Now, at long last, Aodhan is healing, but his new-found strength and independence may come at a devastating cost - his relationship with Illium.

As they serve side by side in China, a territory yet marked by the evil of its former archangel, the secret it holds nightmarish beyond imagining, things come to an explosive decision point. Illium and Aodhan must either walk away from the relationship that has defined them - or step forward into a future that promises a bond infinitely precious in the life of an immortal...but that demands a terrifying vulnerability from two badly bruised hearts.

Amazing performance as always

Another excellent performance. I’m amazed that over the series, every character got to have their voice to the point that you know immediately who is talking. Special mentions to the « voices » of Suyin and Aodhan in this one.

Not the best Singh book in my opinion, but the issue of whom she paired with whom is silly.
It was great to get a book spanning such a big part of the Seven’s history. Also great to meet the new characters in China. Especially Suyin’s cousin; his story felt like the natural conclusion of so many of the previous books: yes, every child deserves a chance.
My only issue was the mystery. Some of them have been a little weak, but this one was paper thin.

Not what I was expecting..

But at the same time not surprising.. And relatable..if you are willing to see.

a little disappointed!

I was a little disappointed that instead of a woman they fell in love with each other!

I'M SADLY DISAPPOINTED

This was a preorder because I love The Guild Hunter books and I've listened to each and every one of them so I was eagerly expecting Illium's romance to be great. However, this story was very disappointing and it's not just because it's a M/M romance (because love doesn't have boundaries) but because there really wasn't any romance to it and the plot was thin. Their relationship felt more like two friends who have had an argument, didn't speak for a while then made up. In all the previous books Illium and Aodhan have had female relationships so I wasn't expecting a LGBTQ listen which isn't my 'go to' listen.. however if done by one of my favourite authors then I will listen. But I just didn't feel the chemistry in this s l o w burn.. just a bro ship and there weren't those wonderful intimate sensual scenes that delight and make you feel the Angelic passion and love between them.

Worth a credit? No, sadly this wasn't for me. Justine Eyre did a great job as usual but, despite her efforts, it was blah and I just didn't feel the love. However, this is my opinion.. you may feel what I sadly failed to feel.
