Sword of the Gods: The Chosen One

Kind of ridiculous, but very entertaining.

Loved this book. Character development is good. Would make a great movie. Have read the entire series thus far and can hardly wait for book 4. This series has been edited well and doesn't have the grammatical errors that I am used to seeing in books from smashwords. Would highly recommend this book. Loved the length, it lets you really get into the characters.

I read 42%, it was a bit too epic for my taste, but not bad. There are some interesting concepts for the science, species and back story.

Excellent

Loved this book. It took a couple of chapters until I got used to the different species, but don't get discouraged - keep reading! The character development is outstanding. I could not put this book down and will be purchasing the remaining books in the series ASAP. I love the length of the book - I am a fast reader and can never find books that last more than a day or two for me. I truuly did not want this book to end, but an ecstatic that it is a series so I can keep on reading!

Book is extremely enjoyable jumping between planets, galaxies, time with lots of action, humor and a great love story. Fantastic read.

I chose this book due to good previous reviews (and it was free, so there was no risk at all). I really enjoyed the ideas developed in this novel, it is very innovative. This kind of theme is a bit risky but was mastered. in this story.

I really do like this novel, but I'm only giving it a 3-1/2 star rather than a 4 star (saving the 5 stars for the Dan Brown/JK Rowling/Taylor Caldwell-type authors). The writing is good, the plot is very good, the characters are likable or unlikable; the problem is, the book severely needs copy editing. If the author can't afford a professional proofreader, I suggest brushing up on some basic proofing skills, especially possessives. There are dozens and dozens and dozens of possessive errors, which is distracting. I kept going because I was enjoying the story, but others may just stop reading. Please, dear author, don't be discouraged by my suggestions. You're a very good writer with a great story to tell. But it lacks professionalism when you don't seem to know the difference between goddess, goddesses, goddess's, goddesses'; family, families, family's, families'; also lay and lie, hanger and hangar, etc. And, decide which spelling you'd like to keep: Jophiel or Joffiel, and then change every one to that spelling. Oh, and would it be possible to put a Hyperlink between the characters list at the beginning and, say, the character in the title of each chapter? I was getting confused trying to remember who the good guys and bad guys are. The story is quite complex, which is super, but I need a bit of help sometimes.
I will be buying the second book of the series (and probably more), because I MUST know what happens! It's that good, so please don't be disheartened. It simply needs proofreading, and with e-books, it is either the author's responsibility, or you must hire a professional (not an acquaintance who 'seems good at that stuff).
I wish you well, and hope you keep writing. Thanks!

Erishkigal is nothing if not a master at writing characters. With her characters, it's as if all of them were actually my friends in real life and I can actually feel their joy, sorrow, pain and remorse as the story progresses. I particularly enjoyed reading about a Lucifer who is not a downright evil reincarnated for once. The awesome thing about Erishkigal is, she manages to make readers sympathize with her villains while still root for her heroes.

The world that she created was interesting to read but I'm not sure how well first time readers would take it. For me, I entered the world without problem because I read Angel of Death first, so I already knew who the true villains were.

Overall, it's an enjoyable read and I certainly recommend this book for anyone looking for a good epic fantasy about angels.

This book was a random pick for a book but now has made me a stalker of when she will come out with the next one. She takes you through the eyes of all the characters in such detail that you cheer, get pissed or want nothing but the them to get their cake and eat it too. She-Who-Is always gives you a choice but know you are in the end god of your own path. Nice beginning and the second one is even better!
