This is one of those series that is a hidden gem - I am not sure why more people aren't picking up and devouring these books like I am. From the beginning Pruitt has taken me on a journey that I cannot predict. It has been a pleasure to follow along, and certainly makes me feel better about my own life in the process. Sheesh she does not pull punches when it comes to her characters.Everyone is put through the ringer in Alliance. Joanne and her team are famous among The Winged and the Fallen - and not in a good way. Her relationships seem to be working for her, though it really has turned into the Michael show, I missed Raphael in this story. He is around but not as much or in the same capacity as Michael. Not that I don't love me some Michael ... mmmm. I've never hated, then loved, a character quite like him. And now I LOVE him. I would really like to see some certain scenes from his POV or at least get a peek into his head. His reactions to certain events were a little less than I thought they would be.Poor Joanne makes some terrible decisions that permanently affect her, and I am not sure she is ever going to be able to come back from what happened. Everyone is as patient as they can be with her, but they have this little thing that is about to happen, you know, the end of the world, and they can't wait forever.With all that happened in the middle, the end was a bit anti-climactic for me. Alliance is probably my least favorite of the series so far, but I mean really, out of all the books I read I still gave it 4 stars. I am super stoked for the next one, whatever it ends up being called. And I will keep my fingers crossed for a little more Raphael time :-).
