I've read other books about half-angels in the past, but Heather's book really reinvented the concept for me.<br /><br />Also, in response to your comment above, Vine was my favorite of the trio, too. :)owo xDhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01507220020820912546noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5578519206397766373.post-88704177094376971952012-03-19T15:40:57.312-05:002012-03-19T15:40:57.312-05:00I think Vine is my favorite.

I saw alot of allegorical spins with the sin nature vs. heavenly nature that humans battle with, just more emphasized with the Halflings.

I pretty much freaked myself out starting out with Genesis 6 and tracking these fallen angels. And I think it's SUPER-COOL how Heather Burch took that - how bad it would be for angels to mess with the bloodline of humans, intercepting Jesus or important characters in history and then asked the question of What would the children produced by those angels feel like?! I really love how much connection she has with what I found snoopin' around on my own!Laura BurgandyIcehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12829653478549763677noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5578519206397766373.post-16841337193086525682012-03-19T12:50:15.981-05:002012-03-19T12:50:15.981-05:00Thanks so much for the great review!

And while I felt sympathetic towards Raven he was not my favorite of the three either, but his views on things throughout the novel gave us some really interesting perspectives and food for thought.<br /><br />I really love your idea of using this novel as a conversation starter for teens, Terri!
