Narration As Books Of Love and Evil (The Songs of the Seraphim #2)

“I dreamed a dream of angels. I saw them and heard them in a great and endless galactic night. I saw the lights that were these angels, flying here and there, in streaks of irresistible brilliance . . . I felt love around me in this vast and seamless realm of sound and light . . . And something akin to sadness swept me up and mingled my very essence with the voices who sang, because the voices were singing of me . . . ”

Thus begins Anne Rice’s lyrical, haunting new novel, a metaphysical thriller of angels and assassins that once again summons up dark and dangerous worlds set in times past. Anne Rice takes us to other realms, this time to the world of fifteenth-century Rome, a city of domes and rooftop gardens, rising towers and crosses beneath an ever-shifting layer of clouds; familiar hills and tall pines . . . of Michelangelo and Raphael, of the Holy Inquisition and of Leo X, second son of a Medici, holding forth from the papal throne . . .

And into this time, into this century, Toby O’Dare, former government assassin, is summoned by the angel Malchiah to solve a terrible crime of poisoning and to search out the truth of a haunting by an earthbound restless spirit—a diabolical dybbuk.

O’Dare soon discovers himself in the midst of dark plots and counterplots surrounded by a darker and more dangerous threat as the veil of ecclesiastical terror closes in around him.

As he embarks on a powerful journey of atonement, O’Dare is reconnected with his own past, with matters light and dark, fierce and tender, with the promise of salvation and with a deeper and richer vision of love.

Evaluate About Books Of Love and Evil (The Songs of the Seraphim #2)
I started Of Love and Evil with modest expectations. Id been underwhelmed with the previous SONGS OF THE SERAPHIM novel, Angel Time. Im also increasingly annoyed with the trend toward publishing extremely slender books in hardcover. As it turns out, I was pleasantly surprised by Of Love and Evil. (I still think it makes a pretty skinny hardcover, though, at 192 pages.)When we last saw Toby ODare, he had just learned that, ten years previous, his girlfriend Liona had given birth to his son. As Of

Angel Time and Of Love and Evil are far too short to pull off what Anne Rice is trying to pull off. At under 200 pages, Of Love and Evil reads more like a novella. It seemed like every supporting character had one big interaction scene with the protag, Toby, and that scene usually took the form of some sort of exposition dump. There was absolutely no believability that these people who just met Toby would suddenly open themselves up to him.I can see this book working beautifully if Anne had

Of Love and Evil by Anne RiceAnne Rices latest novel is a pleasant departure from her previous novels which introduced the vampire Lestat into our national lexicon. This time Ms. Rice delves into the realm heavenly angels, fallen angels and assassins. Yes I did say assassins as the protagonist in the story Toby ODare was a type of government Dexter who is being allowed to atone for past sins by joining forces with Seraphim, angels whose mission it is to answer mans prayers to God. Toby is

I really wanted this book to be great. I wanted Anne to finally return to her roots and write a novel rich in character and description. I turned every page of this book hoping that it was going to kickstart. It never did and to be honest I am left disappointed and annoyed. It almost seems as though she can publish anything just based on her history without an editor or publisher reading what it is she has presented. I give it two stars to credit the idea and the potential of the store but the

Angel Time established higher hopes for the second book in the serious. The action escalated too quickly and tapered off before much resolution could occur. I expected Toby to be more torn apart by Lodovico's last act, and although he does ponder it extensively, the book does not reach a sense of closure at this point. I understand closure for a character may not be an objective in such a series, but expectations were heightened after Angel Time that Of Love and Evil did not challenge or

3.5 starsThe main character is the same as in the first book but his characteristics and behaviour are changed. I liked the idea in the beginning of the story but the next meeting with the seraphin was strange and the action behind it, too. I think I dont like stories that are connected to any religion or based on something connected to religion...I wouldnt say the story was bad, nothing like that.. It was fine but just not my taste..

Oh Anne, what happened?
