From Amazon.com

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. --Ce texte provient d'une édition qui n'est plus publiée ou qui est non diponible.

From Library Journal

With angels all the latest rage, Shinn (The Shape-Changer's Wife, LJ 10/15/95) pens another fantasy tale in the Archangel world. After a night of revelry, the reigning archangel breaks her wing and is replaced by Alleluia, a nondescript scholar who must rely on the human Caleb, who believes only in science. Competently done but not exciting; recommended for fantasy collections.

5.0étoiles sur 5 Very Good for a First-Time Shinn Reader, Sep 26 2004
This review is from: Jovahs Angel (Paperback)
Having never read the Archangel, I had no preconceived notions regarding this book. I had no expectations though the reviews from Amazon made me borrow it.

I must say that it was a captivating book to read. The characters slowly grew on me and made me care about what was to happen to them. The book switches periodically between the perspectives of two people, the mortal Caleb and the angel Alleya.

I think the author developed these characters well, creating unique personalities that people can relate to. The ending was a surpise though I can't say that I have not heard it before, I believe I have read another book with the same type of idea and of course, watched a blockbuster movie that dealt with the same idea.

Dealing with religion is often a tricky subject, and in certain parts of the book, it felt as if I was not reading a novel but a philosophy book. However, these ideas were nonetheless interesting and added to the uniqueness of this book.

It was a highly entertaining book with several plot lines that will make you want to turn the page. Thumbs Up!

4.0étoiles sur 5 A great second story!, Nov. 7 2003
Par Janella Baduini "Eternal Reader" (Mansfield, NJ) - Voir tous mes commentaires
(REAL NAME)   
This review is from: Jovahs Angel (Paperback)
I picked up Archangel at a used book shop on a whim, and not since the first DragonRiders of Pern book I read have I been so enthralled. When I found out that there was a follow-up, I was delighted. When I first began reading, I was put off by the abrupt jump in time (Jovah's Angel is set 150 years after Archangel), but Sharon Shinn pulled through. Though the characters in Archangel were, for me, more memorable, this book held it's strong points, including the startling revelation of the reality of the God at the end. This wonderful sequel veered less away from the predestined love angle of the first book, which I approved of, but still had enough character interactions to satisfy. Overall, a highly recommended book that far surpassed typical second-story expectations and leaves readers yearning for the next two, The Alleluia Files and Angelica.

4.0étoiles sur 5 Amazingly Good!, Mai 22 2003
Par Sorcha (The East Coast) - Voir tous mes commentaires
This review is from: Jovahs Angel (Paperback)
I quickly got into this book, having just finished Archangel and desperately wanting more of the world of Samaria Sharon Shinn so wonderfully created. As with the first book, I could barley put this one down, although I did not think it was as fast paced as the first. It was still amazingly good. I especially like how she made references to events in the past (book 1) but through the distorted view of history. This was a great book 2 of a trilogy (I often find the second book of a trilogy to be lacking in many ways, but this one did not lack at all!)
