Is it disappointing?

This book started slow and almost disappointing, but it recovered itself towards the end, overall. I'll still listen to the next book as I am 3 books in now, but things feel a little far fetched and I'm hoping that she is able to carry through with the way the book ended.

The reader does a good job, but I do have to up the speed some because she is a bit slow, but that could also be the recording engineer's decision. Not much of a problem for this book because Audible does provide the ability to speed it up.

Sharon Shinn is unbeatable

What made the experience of listening to The Alleluia Files the most enjoyable?

The characters of the Alleluia Files are so deep and complex! Now that I'm done reading the book, I actually sort of miss them as if they were my real-life friends!

What did you like best about this story?

Not only are the characters amazing, the entire premise of a world set up like the past in the future is creative and really well done by the author.

Which scene was your favorite?

The scene where Delilah accidentally transports herself to Jehovah is delightful.

Was there a moment in the book that particularly moved you?

There are so many amazing moments in this book. I couldn't possibly chose one.

Any additional comments?

Read everything Sharon Shinn writes! You won't regret it!

Loved this book

I really enjoyed the way they still believes in a higher power after all truth was revealed. The idea of angels on earth is awesome.
