Five unique heavenly beings? I was pretty skeptical of this book at first. Would it be a fantasy? Would it be simply weird? As it turned out, it was not weird at all, and not what I would describe as a fantasy, although much of it came from someone’s imagination.
The book details the lives of five people who become heavenly beings after their deaths and are put in a group together to make the journey through heaven. The book is full of well-defined characters and vividly described scenes and settings. The author is able to pull the reader into the action, evoking atmosphere masterfully.
I kept looking for the point to the book, but never really found one. I am a huge fan of good fiction, but settings and characters are not enough.
The book has a promising premise — five people die and go to heaven — but I never found a solid plot.
