Book Review: Nalini Singh's Archangel's War

Book Review: Nalini Singh’s Archangel’s War

Twelfth in the Guild Hunter alternate history, paranormal romance series that revolves around Elena Devereaux, an angel-made, and her archangel. The focus is on war. My Take Singh uses third person dual protagonist point-of-view primarily through Elena’s and Raphael’s perspectives to show us a world gone mad with disastrous weather events and a Scourge in China. It’s that old theme of good versus…

Nalini Chat w/ Ali Hazelwood

Some highlights from her chat today with Ali hosted by East City Bookshop.

she's currently writing the next Guild Hunter novel

Q: what is special about this book in the series for you? A: This book is really about family and I think it's been a big thing throughout the series from the beginning. it felt like the right time in the timeline for this book to happen. Prepare to be emotionally destroyed. She cried writing it. It's a book about family and who we are and those who make us and influence our lives. There is joy! Really important book int he series because it closes a lot of loops which is important to move forward.

Q: what is it like to go back to raphael and elena after writing books about other characters? A: It doesn't feel weird going back because they're always part of the books regardless of who we're focusing on. It's this massive world and we just went and visited someone else. -they're the heart of the series. No matter where else we go they exist and are part of it in some way.

Q: When you weren't writing them did you miss them? A: She does. The newsletter shorts are because she does miss them and writes for them when it's not their book. "I write my own fan fiction"

Q: Shorts in a collection? A: yeah, if there was enough desire for it. She would go ahead and do that. She'll add it to the to do list and poll people if there is a want.

Q: What does she feel about werewolves lore in general since they're closest to changelings. A: Would have been writing werewolf fan fiction had she known about it online. The only thing she didn't like was that they don't want to be werewolves.

Q: What you have written has influenced a generation of writters, how does that feel knowing you have been so impactful on the lives of so many people? A: It's weird. It's a continuous timeline and you just go book to book without realizing the passage of time. Didn't set in until she got her 20 years in the publishing industry anniversary. It's startling. Her hero is Anne Mcarthy and for someone to think of her in the same way is wild.

Q: is it difficult to write a highly anticipated character/pairing? A: She's obsessed with them already for a while before introducing them. You really have to go into your own head and block out what people are expecting. That's the only way it'll be her own.

Q: Does it ever happen that you annoy yourself with your slowburn? A: "I do and then i write it and release it 10 years later."

Q: Is Raphael's father going to come back? A: "Well, he's dead."

Q: who is your favorite young character? A: Really like writing all the kids. They're hilarious and fun to write. Really loves Izzy and wants to protect him the little baby angel. Curious to see who he'll be when he gets older with all these influences around him.

-Thought she would write a book about Elena's sisters but they appear a lot in Lineage and it closes up their stories enough that there is resolution and she won't be writing their own story.

-The series is slowly (slowly) wrapping up. It was always based around elena and raphael and it should end where it makes sense. not drag it out

-Possible she might do some novellas because there are things that can't be wrapped up in the books. Will absolutely keep writing shorts and adding them to the newsletter.

Q: Is there another series in the works for when GH is over? A: Has an idea for a book she'd like to write but won't know if it's a series until it's written.

Q: Are we getting more of Illium and Aodhan? A: It's the next book. it's a different book than Light. There's still some emotional stuff to take care of. There are also major changes in the world. get to see more of the other characters with them. The cover should match the Light one, complimentary.

Vampire hunter Elena Deveraux knows she’s the best—but she doesn’t know if she’s good enough for this job. Hired by the dangerously beautiful Archangel Raphael, a being so lethal that no mortal wants his attention, only one thing is clear—failure is not an option…even if the task is impossible. Because this time, it’s not a wayward vamp she has to track. It’s an archangel gone bad. The job will put Elena in the midst of a killing spree like no other…and pull her to the razor’s edge of passion. Even if the hunt doesn’t destroy her, succumbing to Raphael’s seductive touch just may. For when archangels play, mortals break…

Just thinking about Dmitri being literally the best dad for Illium and basically raising him instead of his trash of a father.

And him being Naasir’s literal dad? Basically adopting him, and treating him as a son even now, when Naasir is like over 300 yrs old.

And Naasir thinking of Honor as his mom the moment he meets her, and Honor treating him as a son?

September & October 2022

How my reading went in September and October.

I know I say this, but November definitely crept up on me. After a wildly successful reading month in August I fell into a reading drought. I just honestly did not feel like reading at all, hence no post last month and the fact that I’m posting about September and October together. Sorry about that, but reading is like that for me. When I was posting more regularly I always used to try and have…

[nzbookwyrm]

I always know the beginning and ending of a story arc. So for example, with the Psy-Changeling series, the beginning was Silence – a world where the Psy live lives devoid of emotion under the Protocol. The ending I foresaw [spoiler!] was the fall of Silence.

Knowing the beginning and the ending is what I need to keep me on track. I don’t usually write it down, but I must know it. Before I wrote Silver Silence, I spent a long, long time considering the next story arc.

I knew we needed a second arc, because the events at the end of the first arc brought up all kinds of questions – but I wasn’t about to write that second arc until I knew exactly where I was taking my readers. Because for me, the fun of a journey like in this series, is that there is a payoff. All the pieces of the jigsaw fit in the end, so that if you go back and reread, you’ll see the path laid out from book 1.

So I guess the short answer is that I plot out where we’re going, but how we get to that point? It’s organic. The breadcrumbs get laid organically. But because I know where we’re heading, I don’t tend to head off on tangents. Like a road that has lots of side roads, but I don’t turn off, because those don’t lead to my destination. That doesn’t mean those side roads are forgotten – rather, I explore them in novellas, short stories etc.

What kinds of books I think some redacted characters would read - Part One

Characters in this Post: Lasko, Sweetheart, Avior, Ivan/Flyboi, Gavin

Lasko: Classical High Fantasy/Science Fiction

duh, we already know he loves LotR, so he reads Tolkien, and C.S. Lewis, and I can see him reading late 20th-century science fiction like The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy. I particularly think that he reads popular books like these to then watch adaptations and go on rants about what is different (same, Lasko, same).

Sweetheart: Romance (specifically enemies to lovers)

The ones where the main couple is pining so hard but they use that energy for fighting each other physically and verbally with that very obvious flirtatious undertone (e.g.: Powerless by Lauren Roberts). I can see Sweetheart reading those dialogues and then using phrases from them on Milo. He gasps every time and fires back ofc.

Avior: Classics before the hellscape, now cosy contemporary

If he read books before meeting Starlight (which I'm honestly not sure he did, but let's just roll with it), he probably read heavy classics like Anna Karenina or Jane Eyre to soak in all the knowledge about human emotion and how different authors from different times used language to express them. But now he reads cozy contemporary, possibly romance. Though I also think he might still go for cozy classics, such as Jane Austen.

Ivan/Flyboi: Young Adult Horror

Now hear me out. Flyboi/Ivan w/o Vega's influence has terrible parents and still a little bit of an edge. Young Adult Horror very often has that kind of found family trope that I think he might enjoy but also that body horror/gore that might tickle that dark side of his (e.g.: Gallant by Schwab or Andrew Joseph White's books).

Gavin: 00s-10s Fantasy Erotica

Again. Hear me out. To just assign him erotica would be very stereotypical. But you know what I see this beautiful demon do? He reads the early 2000s to 2010s fantasy erotica novels (e.g. Nalini Singh's books) because he likes making fun of how the relationships are weird but he ends up getting invested in the lore of the general story every time.

All of this is just a huge projecting game lmao. But I already have more ideas.

Book Review: Nalini Singh's Archangel's Kiss

Book Review: Nalini Singh’s Archangel’s Kiss

Second in the Guild Hunter alternative history, paranormal romance series and revolving around Elena Deveraux, a hunter born. It’s been a year since Angels’ Blood, 1. In 2011, Archangel’s Kiss won the All About Romance (AAR) Annual Reader Poll for Most Kickass Heroine and the DABWAHA Romance Tournament for Best Paranormal/Science Fiction/Fantasy. My Take You’ll never look at angels the same way…

I saw a TikTok from an acotar fan that was like if you love Azriel you have to read this series specifically this book in the series!! And it’s Nalini Singh’s guild hunter series. There’s a character named Jason who’s basically azriel. I’ve been looking for new series so I started it, Jason’s book isn’t till the fifth I think? But anyways series is good! And even without getting to his book yet (I’m on book four), I was like no waaaaay 🤣 when he was introduced and the few scenes of him in the books. Because Sarah really ripped off nalini signh 😭 and I know it’s fantasy there are like so many angst shadow daddy carbon copy mcs running around but the similarities between Jason and azriel are so jarring, it’s even worse knowing that the series is one Sarahs recommended ? 😂 it’s just so blatant it’s crazy. Also crazier that acotar fans are recommending it so shamelessly because there’s zero like self awareness and outrage about Sarah potentially copying another writer!?? buts it’s more like guys hehe we don’t have azriel content yet so let’s all read this one until then 🥰 likes it azriel fanfic and not a published authors original work??? Call me crazy idk you can’t deny that Azriel is a Jason/Nalini Singh rip off, there’s being inspired and then there’s that…

Yesss somebody sent me this the other day. I find it weird that SJM often talks about the books that she loves and then there's just so much she's ripped from them. Like girl why are you giving us the receipts of all the books you've stolen from!!

[jeanjauthor]

One of my best friends from high school engaged in an international pen pal service. Many years later, she eventually married the Finnish man she had met through that letter exchange service (before the advent of the internet, but not too much before, lol). She now lives near Helsinki, but recently came back just this last month to visit many friends and remaining family members. (She can do the work-from-home thing which means she can work from just about anywhere so long as she has decent wifi.)

And she brought me Finnish chocolates (as she often does), which are less sweet than the kind you find in America, but quite good overall.

However, this time she brought a small bar as an experiment.

(The image is taken off of the Puhdistamo website.)

It's not a very big bar, about two fingers wide, a little bit more than finger-length long. But it was mint, and my friend knows I like mint.

Turns out, it does not taste like any chocolate I have ever had before. And the reason is in the "Raaklasuklaa" part of the name. Raw Chocolate*. (*Note, NOT a direct translation!)

What does that mean? Well...apparently...it's not fermented.

To clarify, chocolate goes through two (2) fermentation steps.

The first is when the pods are harvested, split open, and the seeds are scooped out and dumped into a pile with the pith (juicy bits) of the fruit, where they are lightly covered by leaves (iirc) and left to ferment in the open for a week or so.

Then they go to be cleaned, roasted, shelled, winnowed, ground, mixed with other stuff, special treatments of temperatures, etc...and then they get poured into bars that are then set aside for literal months to continue fermenting. This is the second round of fermenting.

I am not certain which step was skipped (it could be both for all I know), but this chocolate is not fermented.

Now, we mostly think of fermenting as being alcoholic (because drinks!), but it's not. Technically, pickles are fermented. Sauerkraut is fermented. This is a not-alcoholic-in-nature fermentation process that normal chocolate bars go through, to develop the rich, strong flavors that make chocolate so distinctive.

But in this Raakasuklaa bar...?

It's raw, not fermented.

The flavors are there, but they're very very subtle. The mint is much stronger. And like many things in Europe, it's not very sweet, so the mint is the highest riding note, but it's not overly sweet. (Kinda like spearmint gum, in fact.) Aside from the mint, it's mostly a texture that you notice. (Not an unpleasant one, just there's more texture than flavor...?)

I think this is a chocolate bar that those who cannot stand strong flavors would like.

Which makes me think of my fellow author Nalini Singh, and her Psy-Changeling universe, where the psy race underwent a century of emotionless existence in order to learn enough discipline to control their psychic powers. In order to ensure that cool logical attitude, they developed a lot of foods that were, well, bland. Because strong flavors provoke strong emotions.

This is a chocolate bar that would be consumed by the psy in Nalini's created world. it's a good bar that is remarkably mild Even if something is mild-mannered, that doesn't mean it's bad. It's simply something different.

If you are curious (and can get your hands on some), I say, why not give it a try?

(Just don't go into the experience expecting a strong flavor sensation.)

Holy fucking shit. You all need to read Anne Bishop’s BLACK JEWELS SERIES. I just started reading it and not only does it (on the first page no less) describe SLAVES as having “dark membranous wings” aka bat boy wings—BUT it inspired both THRONE OF GLASS & ACOTAR!! Uhm HELLO????? Why is no one talking about this?

Also, I’ve been doing a read of the ORIGINAL queen of glass, which has so much HORRENDOUS fat shaming in the first three chapters I had to put it the fuck down.

The question is… who is SJM? What type of person is she? Don’t get me wrong I think she’s probably a really BAD person. But it leads me to wonder… what the fuck possessed her?

I have to admit seeing the stories in this lens is very enlightening. I would also suggest ANGEL’S BLOOD, by Nalini Singh. It’s the DIRECT “inspo” for Rhysand’s power. It features an Angel that has the basic equivalent to “daemati” gifts. She claims these authors are “friends” of hers. But I doubt that.
