Explanation As Books Angel Time (The Songs of the Seraphim #1)

Anne Rice returns to the mesmerizing storytelling that has captivated readers for more than three decades in a tale of unceasing suspense set in time past—a metaphysical thriller about angels and assassins.

The novel opens in the present. At its center: Toby O’Dare—a contract killer of underground fame on assignment to kill once again. A soulless soul, a dead man walking, he lives under a series of aliases—just now: Lucky the Fox—and takes his orders from “The Right Man.”

Into O’Dare’s nightmarish world of lone and lethal missions comes a mysterious stranger, a seraph, who offers him a chance to save rather than destroy lives. O’Dare, who long ago dreamt of being a priest but instead came to embody danger and violence, seizes his chance. Now he is carried back through the ages to thirteenth-century England, to dark realms where accusations of ritual murder have been made against Jews, where children suddenly die or disappear . . . In this primitive setting, O’Dare begins his perilous quest for salvation, a journey of danger and flight, loyalty and betrayal, selflessness and love.

Rate Appertaining To Books Angel Time (The Songs of the Seraphim #1)

This was my first Anne Rice read, and in all honestly I was disappointed. For as long as I can remember, her Vampire Chronicles have been books I wanted to read. I entered the teenage vampire loving stage and my mother suggested them. It turns out shed tried to read them earlier, but had never really managed to work her way through them. She enjoyed them but the writing style was not for her (overly descriptive, she called it). I did not let this deter me, and promised myself I would read them.

I was pleasantly surprised with this book. I was interested, entertained, and at the same time expecting some of the more homoerotic and/or gruesome detail that her old books used to contain but this book had none of it.The book is lovely and written perfectly. Anne Rice always has a tendency to over-describe different things and dive into memories for more time than needed but I feel she worked out exactly as much 'time' as needed in this story. Each memory was presented to the degree of

Being a long time Anne Rice Fan, I had looked forward to reading this book. Her religious journey, like mine, had been bumpy at best. So, I was very curious after the Christ the Lord series what she may do next...and I wasn't disappointed.Angel Time is an exceptional novel dealing in the story of an assassin who is contacted by an angel and walked back through time through the err of his ways and how it was he became an assassin. Then, through Anne Rice's skilled writing, she takes the reader

Angel Time is a story within a story. With the beginning of the book taking place in the present, the reader follows the methodical Toby O'Dare on another assassination of a powerful person. Anne Rice does a great description of the Mission Inn location and all the careful steps Toby takes. Once Toby meets (more like encounters) Malchiah, a Seraphim the story turns.Malchiah, a beautiful angel, gives Toby the chance to change his life and make amends for all the killing he did in his past which

Angel Time centers on Toby O'Dare who uses the alias Lucky, he's an assassin for "The Right Man". When his boss calls he does what he's told to. After this specific mission, Lucky is cornered by a supposed angel who wants to save his soul. Lucky flashes back on how he came to work for "The Right Man" and realizes he does want a chance for redemption.Lucky is sent back to thirteenth century England, a period that is fraught with tension between Catholics and the Jewish population. Lucky takes up

Edit As it has been two years and I have not been struck down by lightning yet, I feel safe enough to lower my rating to the 1 star I originally wanted to give.The back cover of Angel Time sounded quite exciting, but once I started reading I was harshly reminded of the fact that "you shouldn't judge a book by its cover".The main character wishes salvation (as he likes to remind you every fifteen seconds or so) and after a hit (as he is a hired assassin) he meets an angel who has been watching

Every once in a long while, I find a book that becomes a reaffirmation of my faith and soothes me along the journey to becoming a true Christian. When I picked up Angel Time a few years ago, I wasn't expecing it to be that book, but it was and is.Most people are familiar with Anne Rice's more famous works: those of Lestat and Louis and her many other delightful vampires. I originally purchased this book precisely because I was a fan of those books, but I think that I liked Angel Time more than I
