What makes Haig such a wonderful author for me is the passion and depth in her characters. This is my 3rd read by Haig and I'm excited to say that her books just keep getting more and more enthralling.I read {The Messenger} before {Glory}, but neither needs the other for a complete read. Here we find the main character, Sammael, the cast out angel of darkness from heaven sentenced to live through time while awaiting mankind's destruction so that he may return to heaven at the world's end. He encompasses all evil, and yet Haig writes the character in such a way that you pity him at times even while detesting him. There is this beautiful irony in him, in that he was created flawed and is so like mankind, and yet he is so disgusted by us and the love given to us. {Glory} is both thrilling and sensual at times and inspirational to the heart. It spans many time periods and locals, from ancient Egypt, Rome, Eden, Jesus' time and current day, this is definitely one to read.
