Archangel's Enigma by Nalini SinghMy rating: 5 of 5 stars
Yay! A book about Naasir!
Easily one of the most interesting characters in the Archangel's series, Naasir is...different...from anyone else. He's a more primal, primitive, intuitive and sensuous being than all the other guys. He seems to get coddled a lot, people thinking he doesn't "get" modern anything. He does. He just doesn't care. He's singularly focused when he sets his mind to something. When that something is a mate, well the luck girl just better hold on to her panties.
While I do like Singh, a LOT, she has an annoying habit of repeating the same description over and over and over again. It's like she's trying to fill space. She doesn't need to. Even paring things down, doing some editing (where's her editor? What are they doing?), would make her books sing rather than hum. Granted, she has a formula and she follows it, but that's what series books are about. The guy, the girl, the conflict, the resolution. And you know he's going to get the girl, or she's going to get the guy. It's a given for most any series, but when you have as engaging a character as Naasir, it's worth the ride.
Let's just quit "honing" things, or having "silver eyes", "silver hair", "shattering blue eyes", etc. More than two or three references to the same characteristic is just a bit much. Quit padding those lines missy! We like you already!
