"Fire, Fury, Faith" by N. D. Jones

My Thoughts....

What a fantasy love story this was of Issa [who had been given a second chance at the life of an angel and a tribal chieftain] and Serwa as the reader finds them having come from warring tribes. What will Issa do when a rogue demon attacks and almost kills his wife? How will Serwa help and heal Issa as she is a 'Healer Angel?' Will Serwa finally be able to heal her husband and help him get over his fury?

This will be quite a intensed plot as well as steamy one about these angels. The author really gives the readers quite a journey that will whole your attention as you listen to this story. Yes, this was on audio and very well presented to the reader by this narrator as he gives life to these magical characters. Be ready for a good read with lots of 'emotional ramifications on its victims' along with 'warring tribes, angels and demons, dark and light, bond of love and the terror of hate.' Now to truly understand all that is going on you must pick up this good read to find out just what all is going on in this interesting read. This author really knows how to write and tell an engaging story .
that will definitely keep your attention.

Thanks to the author for a audio of this novel for a fair and unbiased review.

I dislike the word Islamphobia too, when I criticized this fucking shit religion Islam that stoned raped girls and women to death, or forced them to marry their rapists.

Fuck Allah. Fuck Islam. I hate religion and religion that spread religious bullshit to harm human pissed me off. 

Now back to the article. 

Salman Rushdie said, 

"“A word I dislike greatly, ‘Islamophobia’, has been coined to discredit those who point at these excesses, by labelling them as bigots. But in the first place, if I don’t like your ideas, it must be acceptable for me to say so, just as it is acceptable for you to say that you don’t like mine. Ideas cannot be ring-fenced….”

“And in the second place, it’s important to remember that most of those who suffer under the yoke of the new Islamic fanaticism are other Muslims….

“It is right to feel phobia towards such matters. As several commentators have said, what is being killed in Iraq is not just human beings but a whole culture. To feel aversion towards such a force is not bigotry. It is the only possible response to the horror of events.”

Poor man Rushdie. Forced into hiding. 

That is what society lost when they let those religious deluded who could get away with murder in the name of their delusion. 

The “Mercy” series is to me what “Divergent” by Veronica Roth is doubtless to many people - it started off promising, even exciting, but then it went and devolved into a huge pile of WTF.

I’ve had a sneaky suspicion for a while, that “Mercy” started off as one book and was later broken down into four. There’s something about the surface plots of the individual books and the overarching one that just makes me feel like they were subplots being expanded into larger ones. Sometimes scenes and character development are transferred from one book into the other, and if you don’t read them one right after the other, it can feel choppy and underdeveloped.
Case in point - Muse almost literally cut off mid-scene. 

But I’m getting ahead of myself.

“Muse” and “Fury” are the final books in Rebecca Lim’s “Mercy” quartet. You can find my reviews of the previous two books on the Lantern, but basically, Mercy is an angel that, for some crime or another, is constantly being put in the lives and bodies of young women. For years and years, she’s been unable to go from one life to the next without losing all her memories and thus she’s been unable to do progress, but in the past few lives, things have started to change. She’s grown more self-aware, and she her faith in “Luc”, her only constant companion throughout everything, starts to weaver. In “Muse”, she’s barely holding onto the last threads of her faith in him. In “Fury”, that faith is lost and Mercy sets out to get her ummmmmmmm-revenge?

Yeah, can you tell that I’ve got problems with the ending?

Spoilers ahead.
