Official Review: Onus Angelorum by Celie Wells
Alerie thought she had a perfect life as a half-human in a human world. But fate, ancient bloodlines, and duty had different things in store for her. She must unite with a team of werewolves, vampires, witches, a demon, and a human to enter a magical realm called The White. It's a life or death mission. What happens when the supposed human was found not to be human, and Alerie is hurt and at the point of death in The White? Find out in this intriguing book.
I was greatly impressed by Celie Wells' brilliance and creativity. Werewolves, vampires, demons, and witches are like everyday fairytales, with each of them ending in fierce conflicts between the magical beings. But she brilliantly brought a twist to a normal storyline, and in her book, Onus Angelorum, these beings united for a common goal.
Excellent fiction writing is being able to convey the portrayed characters' feelings to the reader. Celie Wells incorporated this in her writing. The narrative and descriptive technique employed by Celie effortlessly conveyed the characters' emotions. It was intriguing to feel a sense of loss with Alerie after helping Henry back to The White.
Following the series of events in the book, the narrative built up to a climax. There was a lot of suspense and a heightened sense of anticipation that made the book all the more interesting. The book was intertwined with a series of surprising events. For instance, I never expected Alerie to fall in love with a particular character, even to the point of intimacy between them. I assumed he repulsed her. So, you'd imagine the surprise on my face when she first kissed him.
Onus Angelorum was so interesting and captivating that I couldn't put it down once I started reading. I can't wait for the sequels to the book. However, I had an issue of utmost concern regarding the book. It contained a plethora of errors that dampened my reading flow, as I had to stop to take notes periodically. I'll recommend another round of editing for the book.
I'd rate the book 3 out of 4 stars because it was such an interesting read but was riddled with errors. I would have given it a 3.5-star rating, but that would be against the rules. This book is suitable for young adults and adults interested in werewolf fantasies. The book isn't suitable for younger audiences, as it contained subtle sex scenes and some profane words.
