Pulling the Wings Off Angels

Probably more of a 3.5

I think I reasonably knew what I was getting into because I've read the author's The Long Game, but I also didn't read the premise in detail and got attracted by that catchy title.

I don't wanna give away much by detailing the plot or the characters here but if you are truly looking for a short read that's philosophical, with lots of discussions about theology, faith, sin and repentance, and just what it takes to believe in a higher power. I've been questioning my own faith for a while now, so reading this book and grappling with the questions raised in these pages felt like an interesting exercise for me.

Unfortunately, there's not much going on plot wise. So, I know I probably won't remember the very flimsy world building or the not so memorable characters, but I definitely will remember what this book made me think. Just go in with an open mind and maybe not too many expectations.
