Overall I liked this book. I really loved the concepts of Heaven and Hell and how the author works in God and angels and demons and all manner of other creatures. I thought the depictions of these mystical beings was well-thought out and very imaginative. I also liked how the nature of Heaven was discussed and how the nature of God interacted with the universe and how it was all inter-connected.There were a few twists that were very unexpected and shocking, so I loved those bits as well. Most of the characters were pretty interesting, but the main strength of the book is the descriptive voice, the author really does a great job of painting a picture with words and the imagery was great.However, by the end of the book I was left feeling a little unsatisfied. I know this is part of a series, but my personal preference is that books in series can be read as standalone works, but I think this one almost needs the next one to complement it. A few new characters are introduced towards the end of the book and it's frustrating because you want to read more but...you can't, and I feel that the book may have been better served had it focused on wrapping up the main story of this book rather than setting the scene for the next one.But then again some people might like that the book leads in to the next one. Overall is a good story with some very interesting concepts and great descriptions.
