Crystal Shade: Angeni, Volume 1By István Szabó, Ifj. & Orlanda Szabo
“Thousands of stars could tell thousands of stories.”
Seven year old Grace always dreamt of becoming a guardian angel; like those who guarded and guided her people and prepared to bravely fight in a dreaded mythical event, the Crystal Shade – which never came. It's not like Grace ever wanted to see Demons. Or wants to know what evil and darkness is – things that no one ever faced on her world and as the legends says, the Crystal Shade carries within –, nor does she want to die to be reborn as a guardian. But she thinks the mysterious life of angels is so noble, a fable that it sounds exciting – until it actually happens.
Crystal Shade: Angeni, Volume 1 explores the early life of a young daydreaming soul who is destined to reveal the forgotten past of her home world and to seek the answer for the eternal question; what the legendary Crystal Shade really is.

A story about an angel coming of age. This first of a fantasy series is about a young girl, Grace who dreams of and then becomes an angel. At first, her training is almost like a child's game, with simple tricks and gentle philosophy. But that changes as the training becomes harsher. The line between good and evil also becomes blurred. She later encounters and fights humans and demons, all while revealing the meaning of the Crystal Shade.

To begin, this is not your everyday Fantasy novel. It's an interesting story about a little girl who dies and becomes an Angel. Without giving too much away, the first half of the book focuses on her training. There are lots of descriptive pages and the story is very in-depth and involved. The second half is about..... Well you'll just have to read it and find out. For a first novel from this Author, I'll have to say it's very well written. It's intriguing and thought provoking. It is not a book you can just quickly skim through and read in one night, you have to absorb the words and create the fantasy in your mind. I would call this a supernatural fantasy. It is very different. I'll be waiting for volume 2 to see how it plays out. Also if anyone's interested go to the Crystal Shade Angeni website and check out the artwork for this novel, the Author is also an artist and he has outdone himself. The artwork is absolutely breathtaking, some of the most beautiful art I've ever seen. Well done Mr. Szabo.
