About this book
Nalini Singh returns to the world of the Guild Hunters for the most highly anticipated novel of the beloved series—a love story so epic it’s been half a millennia in the making…
Illium and Aodhan. Aodhan and Illium. For centuries they’ve been inseparable: the best of friends, closer than brothers, companions of the heart. But that was before—before darkness befell Aodhan and shattered him, body, mind, and soul. Now, at long last, Aodhan is healing, but his new-found strength and independence may come at a devastating cost—his relationship with Illium.
As they serve side by side in China, a territory yet marked by the evil of its former archangel, the secret it holds nightmarish beyond imagining, things come to an explosive decision point. Illium and Aodhan must either walk away from the relationship that has defined them—or step forward into a future that promises a bond infinitely precious in the life of an immortal…but that demands a terrifying vulnerability from two badly bruised hearts.

It’s not a secret that I’ve been hoping for this book for a good number of years. And trying not to hope at the same time – so I wouldn’t be let down if it didn’t go the way that I was sure it was meant to go. So many small moments throughout the books, so many intimacies that are had, remarked upon by other characters, and that occur as just everyday, normal moments between Illium and Aodhan fed the fire that burned in my heart for this pair. But I sheltered that fire. Protecting myself from...

I really liked it. P.S. I've now read some other reviews and they have mentioned the love story is very different, much less sexual than Elena/Rafael, Dimitri/Honor, Nassir/Andi, etc. The reviewers are right, the romance is much different. Perhaps Ms. Singh has never written a romance featuring same sex lovers. Perhaps, because this series' audience is likely mostly women, Ms. Singh didn't know how her audience would react to a same sex couple, so she avoided sex scenes and focused on the...

4.5 Blue and Sparkle stars Archangel's Light is a beautiful and heartbreaking story about Illium and Aodhan from the beginning to now. It's filled with so much love and encompasses so much of their lives it's difficult to encapsulate all that goes on in a pithy one-liner. Illium and Aodhan have been friends for 500 years, since they were wee babes. We follow the yesterdays and todays concurrently to get our full story, but this is just a primer of the beginning of the epic Illium and Aodhan...

Oh, Nalini, I love you and I'm so proud of how brave you are. I wanted this for so many years now, and I was scared because I didn't know if I was going to have it, but we did, because of you. Ilinium and Aodhan, Aodhan and Ilinium. There's no other way around it, this two are an always, there are not more true words than those. (I loved it when Aodhan said it) I've read this book twice already, and it's the type of book, that whenever you finished it the first time, you're like, okay it was...
