Sigmund Brouwer- Broken Angel (2008) 4.25 Stars
Appalachia is a part of the broken United States and during this post-apocalyptic
period Appalachia is being controlled by a
cult-like group. Laws are strict and based on Old Testament law. Caitlyn’s
father is trying to get her out. The only way to do this is through deception.
As she leaves her father’s side she is forced to befriend Theo and stretch her
strength beyond what she could have ever imagined. It is a tough journey, but
it is the only way that she can learn to soar on her own.
It had an odd beginning and did not
immediately grab me. The book did pick up and became quite captivating though. The
plot was quite interesting with some great twists that I did not see coming. And
the ending was quite unique and I thought that it was the perfect way to wrap
things up. The characters were very well done and assisted the intensity wonderfully.
The twists did make it hard to know who was really good and who was really bad
though, but I guess that just keeps you on your toes. It was a very different
book from those that I normally read, so I was very surprised to find myself
enjoying this book. I would recommend this book to science fiction fans.
