This story follows Chela Prizeon, a gifted girl who lives in a world where her gifts could very well mean her death. With the war between the Seraphim and the Tainted little more than a half century past, the world has fallen to walled cities and ale-meds. Curfews, severe punishments for using gifts, and lies and betrayal around every corner.
I spotted a number of minor errors in this world that should be looked at as soon as possible. While none of the errors spotted will hinder reading speed they are numerous and noticeable.
Despite the errors, I really enjoyed this book. The storyline, while not new, was taken to new places as a dystopian novel. Instead of humans fighting for their lives, it's angels and half angels fighting for theirs. The characters are each their own entities and it's never a question of whether one would do the things they do. Faris, I think, is my favorite of them all. His inner battle is heart wrenching.
I would recommend this to any fan of dystopians, paranormal fantasies, and paranormal romances. With the array of genres this story falls into, there's a little something for everyone within the pages.
I look forward to reading When Silver Moons Rise, which is the second book in this series.
I give this book 5 of 5 paws ( )

I was not sure what to expect from this book, but being blown away from start to finish isn’t what I expected. It was so beautifully written, it had me captivated right from the movement of Chela’s twin brother’s hand (Micah), who is in a strange coma.

KaSonndra Leigh did an amazing job with this book. I fell in love with the characters, its not like most fantasy books I had read, it has that deep meanings and feelings in it. I really loved the main character Chela, she is so strong, determined, adventurous and fiercely protective of those she cares about.
This book has it all, we have angels, and magic, and its set in a dystopian type future, but with all the deep feelings I mentioned in the fantasy world.

Plenty excitement with these characters who are emotionally charged with the adventures of the celestial beings and angelic realms. I loved it.

I love the fierce determination Chela has to find out what happened with her twin brother, and why he is still in this coma, she feels something is not right, and is determined to save him. Before they pull the plug.

I do not want to say much past what is in the blurb, so not to spoil anything, but will say, I enjoyed the romance delevoping between Chela and……. Yeah, not gonna tell you who, lol. You can find out. As in the beginning, you do not know, 2 mysterious hotties show up, and it keeps you guessing for a bit. Don’t want to ruin that for you.

Overall a fantastic read, for teens up to upper adults, it has it all for everyone. Your heart will swell up at the mushy parts, and get angry along with Chela too.

5 out of 5 stars for me. Pick it up, you wont be sorry. I am looking forward to the sequel. ( )

I received When Copper Suns Fall through the Librarything Member Giveaway.

I had a hard time getting into this book. I really can't explain why. I just didn't connect to it.

The plot was interesting,the writing style was good, characters were fine, and there was a good bit of action througout.
Maybe there was a little too much craziness going on at times. Too many people pulling Chela to do their bidding or to be on their side of the fight. And I always hate when everyone falls in love with the main character. ( )

The world building wasn't as seamless as it could have been - and the flow of the story was a little choppy. But the plot was fun, as were the characters, so it is worth putting somewhere on your to-read list.

The only major downfall was the mixture of fantastical with weird dystopian. The society itself feels distopian, but then there is this huge magical realism element to it (angels, demons, good vs. evil, etc). I wish it would have chosen one theme and stuck with it. But the society is corrupt AND the demons are corrupt, so the MC has a lot going against her, but again - it makes for an interesting, albeit a little convoluted, story line. ( )

I won this book in a member Librarything giveaway in exchange for a review

I had some trouble with this book even though it really wasn't bad. I liked many of the characters and the overall story was pretty interesting, but I found myself having trouble really getting into the setting and keeping some of the more minor characters straight. I don't know if the problem was the book not being descriptive enough or if I just wasn't into it, but that was a bit distracting. Getting past that though, I liked the main characters and the romance that was going on. If you're a fan of angels, dystopian books, and a little romance, I'd give it shot. ( )
