Interpretation In Pursuance Of Books Angel-Seeker (Samaria #5)

This is a somewhat disjointed romantic fantasy set after the events of Archangel.

There are two main plots. Each has interesting moments, but they're barely connected. That makes the jump back in time that Shinn often does when shifting between perspectives seem even more jarring than it usually is in this series.

One story is about a formerly wealthy young woman who wants to reclaim her earlier lifestyle by trying to bear an angel's child. The other is about an isolated Jansai whose chance encounter with an angel helps her realize how dissatisfied she is with her oppressive culture.

This book deals more with the Jansai than any of the previous ones, and I was looking forward to learning about their secretive lives. I hoped that they would end up being somewhat different from the way the other cultures view them, just as the angels and Edori aren't well understood by those who have had little contact with them.

Unfortunately there is no nuance to their portrayal, Shinn is determined to have them remain flat villains. All adult Jansai men are varying degrees of bad, and none have a problem with unthinkable brutality. One teenager shows compassion, but does so in a cowardly way that wouldn't have really helped without a stroke of luck. I hoped that the women would at least show some subtle forms of power and control in their own homes, but they're rigid, complacent, and casually abusive. One older woman was sympathetic, and several tried to finally take action at the end. But of course their attempts had to fail so that the helpless girl could be dramatically rescued.

A lot of my problems with the presentation of the Jansai could have been redeemed if they hadn't all been evil, weak, or ineffective. Even the heroine wasn't very admirable. She faced danger (one that she showed no signs of understanding) for love, but could not be motivated to really do anything for herself.

I kept hoping for the characters to come across a large-scale underground culture of subversive women, or a small mixed-gender group that smuggled "wayward" girls to safety. But instead, angels had to save the girl and scold the backwards culture. Everything came out okay thanks to a touch of luck and a strong-willed woman who was traveling with Edori (but not one of them).

Again.

Assessment Out Of Books Angel-Seeker (Samaria #5)

I love coming back to the world of Samaria, and the fact that this book takes up the story of a beloved side character from the first novel Archangel and is set soon after the events of that novel is another reason I enjoyed this book so much.There is a moment in this book when all of the threads of this story come together, when every character meets at an extraordinary point at the height of their growth, and it is lovely and cinematic and everything that a sci-fi romance should be.I love

Shinn's world is strangely intriguing, although I'm not sure what her intended audience is. Given the spoilery particulars of the world, I assume it tends not to appeal so much to a devoutly religious audience. This was her usual love story (it was more satisfying the first one or two times) and this time it had more than ever of oh, the Jansai (aka the not!Muslims) are so evil and everyone hates them and they're just terrible blah blah blah. Her allegory would be more interesting if there were

Originally posted here.I love the world that Sharon Shinn created with her Samaria books. I know there are a lot of series about angels out there but this one is really my favorite. I'm glad that Obadiah got his own story because he's a character that I really liked in Archangel. He is sent by the Archangel Gabriel to go to Breven and deal with the Jansai. The Jansai are merchants who have no love for angels, especially since Gabriel outlawed their main source of income - the slavery of the

Set directly after the events in Archangel, Angel-Seeker deals with three main narratives:Elizabeth - a spoiled rich brat who has lived in her cousin's house as a servant since her parents' disgrace and deaths. Looking to return to her life of ease, she sets out to bear an angel child (a rare, but highly sought after position), no matter the cost. Rebekah - a veiled girl living in utter seclusion, under a ruthless patriarchal society. Although feeling repressed and pushing the boundaries of her

I liked this book, I wish it was longer ...and Rebekah's baby--was it a boy or a girl or an angel boy or angel girl? is Elizabeth still with Rufus?
