I would say, sample the first 30 pages or so first. You will know right away if it is your kind of book. You completely have to buy into author's mythology and story line to dig it. I would not compare it to Dan Brown and let it ride his coat tails to glory. First of all, the author stands on her own. It is a well done book if you are into angels and mythology that goes with it. It is thriller-like fast paced and full of good twists and turns. I suggest readers sample it to see if you can click with it; I did not, but can see why many readers would.
