The Dichotomy of Angels by N.R. WalkerMy rating: 4 of 5 stars
I'm going to go all Angel nerd for a minute.
I loved that NR incorporated real angels into a fictional story.
The part that intrigued me most was her portrayal of Metatron. I'm wondering what made her to decide to take an Archangel that is known to be one of 2 of the only Archangels to have ever been human first...human men (Metatron and his twin brother Sandalphon). Like why that specific angel? I'm not by any means saying it's wrong, as all light beings are equally masculine/feminine energies equally and come to us as we need them. I just found this interesting. I see Gabriel and Uriel as female myself.
I loved the fact that she portrays that every religion carries a piece of the truth in each and that in Heaven, they all get along. I believe this as well.
As for the twin flame aspect, I have my own view of twin flame relationships. I will keep my beliefs to myself, but this fictional story did make me think about some things on a weirdly deep level.
I'm also glad I did not read (listen) to this book sooner, I don't believe I would have gotten that message if I had listened sooner.
Ok, I'm done being a nerd...
Onto the actually story.
This story, for me, was almost as equally sad as it was funny. Though, I thought it was more sad lol. Nathaniel was oddly humorous and endearing in is his kind of nievety. Nathaniel has been hiding out in "hell" , away from Chasan, as he wants to be the one in charge of his own fate.
St. Peter sends these two angels in a mission on Earth together as a team for the first time in 1000 years. They must portray teachers running a class of 4 year olds.
Nathaniel likes toput on this persona of a bad ass who who runs hell, but really he is the kindest soul who loves dogs, and baby goats, and children..and it's really just the sweetest thing. He just needs to get over some past trauma and the realization that he's good enough for Chasan.
Poor Chasan has been dragged along for 1000 years, living in sort of a limbo state, waiting for his twin soul to wakeup from a funk. This is sort of the saddest part of the book, when he decides to give up and wants to sever the bond.
I'm going to leave this review here, I don't want to give too much more of the story away. All in all,I loved the world building, the characters, the storyline, and the narration
