I really wanted to like this book. It's well-written, and the world is so very fascinating! I'd come across it in a short story the author contributed to a collection a while ago, and put Archangel on my to-read list because I wanted to know more.
And it's still fascinating! Very unique in a genre that often struggles with tropes and stereotypes. But the shine wore off for me part way through when I'd pretty much figured out how the world worked and realized that I really didn't like any of the characters. That's a deal-breaker for me, though I know it isn't for others. The quality of the writing kept me going for quite a while longer, but it reached the point where I no longer cared what happened to any of the characters and that was it. I was done.
If you're someone whose enjoyment of a book is based more on world-building, plot and intrigue, give this book a try. If, like me, it's all about connecting and being taken along on a journey with the characters, you might want to give it a pass.
