Book Reviews of Jovah's Angel (Samaria, Book 2)
Book Review: I'm Rooting Around In Another Genre, Sci-Fi_Fantasy
Summary: 5 Stars
This novel, like its prequel "Archangel," combines, angels, biblical lore, science fiction-fantasy and romance. I knew it wasn't going to be a disaster simply because this combination worked in that earlier book. Author Sharon Shinn has a terrific imagination. This one is perhaps not quite as romantic as the equally 5 star "Archangel" but it is even more thought provoking. The hero, Caleb, has the best mind for tinkering and inventing in this world. The archangel Allelulia, the heroine, needs to use Caleb's talents when her music machines start breaking in her stronghold. Then the God, Jovah, sends messages to her that he/it needs help. She needs to take Caleb with her to see what the God needs in addition to trying to solve all of the problems on her world, which now seems to be falling apart because the God no longer is answering their prayers. What they find when they meet the God will bring about a profound crisis for the archangel. I'm looking forward now to reading the third book in the trilogy, "The Alleluia Files." It seems that quite a few women writers, who perhaps found the formula too confining in the romance genre, can be now be found in the sci-fi-fantasy genre where there is more room for combining other elements with a love story and emotion. In fact, there seems to be no formula in the sci-fi-fantasy genre other than setting the story within what is referred to as an alternate reality.
Summary of Jovah's Angel (Samaria, Book 2)
When the reigning Archangel is grounded with a broken wing, Jovah chooses Alleluia as her successor, but now the fate of the planet rests with the reluctant Archangel Alleluia, whose own fate depends on a mortal man who believes only in science and himself.This is a standalone sequel to Archangel, set 150 years later in proverbially interesting times. Samaria is industrialized; the Manadavvi and Jansai are wealthier; the Edori are marginalized, their roaming lifestyle disrupted; and Jovah seems to be turning a deaf ear to his angels' prayers for abatement of increasingly destructive storms. In the midst of all this, Archangel Delilah is incapacitated and replaced by shy, unworldly Alleluia. Alleya must pacify the tribes, calm the weather, make Jovah hear her, forge a reconciliation with Delilah, and find her angelico in order to get married--there's a Gloria due in four months. Unfortunately, the tribes don't want to be pacified, the weather is uncooperative, Jovah is remote, crippled Delilah wants nothing to do with angels, and Alleya's mate is identified only as a "son of Jeremiah.&qupt; If you're stockpiling vacation reading and love a bit of romance (or Anne McCaffrey's writing!), pop Shinn's work in the pile.
