Angel’s Flight (Legion of Angels #8)

The book picks right up where it left off. Those who doubted Nero, shouldn\’t have. He is who we thought he was. That said, what he DOES have to say has very big implications that give you a hint to the rest of the book. Nero and Leda are devoted to each other and will always act accordingly In this book we get to see Leda back with her friends after being separated last book and their interactions and jokes are as wonderful as ever. Nero gives Leda a gift for when he is away from her that adds solid humor to the story. I also suspect it isn\’t exactly what we think it is. These interactions are some of the things that make the book stand out for me from others. In this book Ella explores what it means for Leda to be an angel with her unique heritage because as we have seen through out the books, Leda is not like anyone else and that has lots of implications and challenges. There is also an issue as the number of angels at any one time is capped because they have territorial instincts and only one territory was open and there are two newly made angels. We also get Leda\’s angel name. Now for the plot, I like how Ella plays on our expectations. The dangers seem to be two fold, the strange emotional outbreaks among the Legion solders and the beasts/monsters are acting up. The cause for each were very interesting with huge implications and changes in our character\’s lives both large and small ways. It also gives more history of the world and the current factions and what some of the power players are up to. I enjoyed watching Leda really grow and come into herself. Her growth over the course of novels has been great and I love the choices she has made about who she wants to be and what she wants to represent. I also loved getting to see more of Nyx and other more powerful characters as Leda approaches their power level. No one is immune to Leda\’s brand of chaos and influence. As for the end, wow. I\’m not sure I\’d call it a cliffhanger, but Leda\’s next mission (and therefore the likely plot of the next book) was assigned to her and WOW. I cannot wait to see how that goes.

Hooray, Leda is back! Discovering the next Legion book is out made my day. Happily, this book lives up to the brilliant series, and may be even better than the last. The gang is back together, returning after their absences in earlier books, with snark and fun. Leda is as great and insubordinate as ever, now catapulted into being a newbie angel/demigod, struggling to fly straight and to avoid being played. Her straight angel counterparts make Ledas most un-angelic nature even funnier. Make the Angel of Chaos hormonal, and, well, you have this book. It could be called angel fever or fight more than angel flight. The joyful spirit in these books sets them apart. It grabs your attention and is guaranteed to make you smile. This lightness and energy is not lost through the complicated exposition or dark events, as often happens in a long series. While the series is structured based on the angel gift levels, by book 8, it thankfully hasnt become dry, laboured or drawn out. I mean, what other book would have a monster that is a whale/frog-cross or a hedge? This is one of my favourite series. It has humour, engaging characters, an inventive world, clever magical concepts, powerful romance, depth to the story and characters, triumph, growth and surprises. Plus a kitten. Basically, its Harry Potter for adults. Five stars for one of the best series of its kind. Highly recommended.

I CAN\’T pinpoint why this book doesn\’t get more than 3 1/2 stars from me. Leda and Nero\’s relationship was as strong and steady as ever (which I really, really appreciate btw). Leda was still her snarky self and Nero still the arrogant and sexy hero. Their flirting was on a whole nother level and I loved that (seriously, I was squealing my lungs out haha), especially because only Leda can bring out Nero\’s playful side *swoon*. The kitten was an awesome addition to the cast. Really badass lol You see, even though there were so many things that I liked, I somehow caught myself drifting off way too often, playing Candy Crush or scrolling through social media. I think the events in this installment just weren\’t as engaging and exciting as in the previous books. I was 100% there for the couple but only 20% for the story. Bummer…

This book reveals more of the plotting by the gods that\’s been going on and gives Leda the next advancement in the Legion, bringing her home. It was great to see her reconnect with her family and bring all the people she loves up-to-speed on all the things she and yummy Nero have uncovered. I love the new dynamic Leda, now being an angel, brings. How it changes the way others view her and giving us an inside on how angels interact with other angels. Leda begins to understand more of the Angel point of view and why they sometimes act the way they do with each other and humans. Am looking forward to the next in the series, which continues to heighten in danger as each new book comes out.

I am absolutely in love with this story. Nero and leda are a match made in heaven and we find out more about that in this newest installment. I love the side characters the other legion angels or recruits and the ledas family i also love how she has come into her own she has trials and all but she learns and grow in each and everybook. I swear i read this book so fast and i cant wait for the next one.
