[review] Archangel's Consort (Guild Hunter series) by Nalini Singh

I just finished reading this book and I must say, “Man, I like this story! More please~ XD”
Okay before that, have you read the first book, Angels’ Blood? If you haven’t, go and get yourself a copy now~ XD

I bought mine from here – BookDepository and it’s free shipping worldwide~! XDXD

buy the book from The Book Depository, free delivery
Psst, I even get it on a bargain price~ XDXD



Okay, about this book. I wonder if it’s me or it’s thicker than its previous books.
I can’t help feeling Nalini Singh had written more than enough details in some parts. Hmmm…
The focus in the story is on Raphael’s mother, Caliane or I think it is.
Because there were other different matters on hand to tackle, rather different than its previous books.

There are also inner turmoil of both the hunter, Elena and our archangel, Raphael.
Trust is the main element between both of them and Nalini Singh had put up a few obstacles, making the bond between Elena and Raphael stronger. So important the trust that if it breaks, we will die along with either our archangel or guild hunter. Love the sensation Nalini Singh has weaved in the story.

Waiting for the new book to come, I give this a 3.5 out of 5~!

[Personal thoughts and prediction for the next book – WARNING, SPOILER AHEAD]

Man, I think I like Book 1 and 2 better than the third one. Firstly, I think there are too much bed scenes in Archangel’s Consort. If I need to guess, I think there are at least ten bed scenes – not including those without a bed *wink*
It’s not like I dislike the oh-so-delicious Raphael and equally ravishing guild hunter but overdose will numb the senses, don’t you think?

Secondly, there were parts I don’t even know had ‘happened’. Either it’s not important (but if so, there’s no need to even mention it, right?) or our author is running out of paper to write in detail.
For example, when did Harrison ran away from his contract and when did Elena caught him? When did Michaela started to date Astaad’s second?

Now for some predictions, I think one word. Baby~! (or babies XDXD) I wonder if she/he had wings? After all, Elene IS an angel now =O
Then, maybe Michaela start going crazy? (I’ve been bracing for her madness from Uram to catch in the third book but she’s not in it)
What about Elena’s maybe-vampire-blood-heritage? I keep thinking she is somehow related to Dmitri (Hah! That’s gonna be major awkwardness =P)
Evelyn still small so there will be nothing major about her.

One thing I hope I will never read about is love triangle (because I tend to pity the one not chosen) so whatever it is, please don’t let Illium start confessing to Elena or I’ll die T^T (I really like Illium)
