I apparently purchased this several years ago and then promptly forgot I had it. I was delighted in the gift that past me bought future me. I went in with zero expectations beyond the blurb on the back, and came out with a neat story about a character I knew nothing about. It's also written by Kieron Gillen, a name I recognize from a number of other things I've read, which was a double surprise when I looked at the cover.
Angela's story is complex, and I feel like things were rushed quite a bit in this exposition-heavy TPB. There was lots of backstory to cover, and it often felt like I was rushing from plot point to plot point throughout. I did like the angel's code of nothing for nothing, it made for a neat thing to explore throughout the book, balancing the scales and all.
The art was nice, actually. It had kind of a watercolor feel that I appreciated. I almost wish this had been longer to give the story a chance to stand on its own legs, but it is what it is, and I'm glad to have read this regardless of my hangups.
