Brynna (Astarte) is an interesting character. I thought the author did a good job at making her "nonhuman." A fallen angel turned demon she has no empathy and is morally ambiguous. When she escapes hell, she is confused at modern conveniences. She adapts. I liked her job (translating). What I wasn't big on was the religion is the story. ("...God's eternal light...," ...her soul is in God's hands now.," and "...God's purpose..."). But then, this was a story on fallen angels/demons, so on some level it was expected. However, I have read other books where religion isn't a part of the story (or a very little part).

Another issue: "I don't eat meat." Excellent. I love that except she, um, she eats fish.

But I did like this quote: "I want something without flesh..."
