About this eBook

"This world is not safe. Your angels have done great things, but I fear their illusion of safety has been more damaging than they can possibly understand. The ancient evils may be gone, but new ones have replaced them."

----

Five years have passed since the death of the war god, and now angels watch over the land. It should be a time of peace and prosperity. It is not.

With King Antonil marching east to retake his former lands from the orcs, Harruq Tun is thrust into a position of power he is completely unprepared for, leaving many plotting to usurp the throne for their own ends. Hovering over it all are the angels, enforcers of the law and wielders of the executioner's blades. Once viewed as humanity's saviors, the angels now find themselves struggling for a proper place in the new world.

Monsters in the Vile Wedge are stirring, and in the south the nation of Ker moves to protect itself from a rule from on high. War comes, and if Harruq cannot stop it, their paradise of angels may soon become a blood-stained prison.

THE PRISON OF ANGELS by David Dalglish

cw: CSA child sexual assault is a morally grey issue in chapter one. I've left this review about 2 years since reading as I was wondering if I was being sensitive, but no. That's weird. edit: I wanted to add while sexual assault and rape has been a large issue personally throughout his works this was my final straw for the series. Spoilers: Very early in the book there is a scene of a town discussing punishment for a man who was found taking his trousers off to rape a young girl (We are told she's aged 2). the girl is visibly traumatised and clearly has already endured some level of assault and while an angel 'wipes' her mind the angel argues that the man does not deserve death since he apologised. while the angel is intended to be an antagonist this is still a weird thing to include in a book that readers should be aware of.

Although it was a good read, I wished the author would have ended this series with the 5th novel, "A Sliver of Redemption." Although its ending was a bit rushed, it left the reader satisfied. Its "happy" ending completed the struggle of the half-orcs and put a seeming finality to the series. I will however start book 7 of this series and hope to get that same "happy" ending there.
