Today's review is going to be extra spesjul because I joined forces with Cindy from My Book File. We both wanted to read this book and after a bit of brainstorming, we decided to turn this into a buddy read with a double review. What the heck is a double review?! Yeah, we didn't really know that either but, in this case, it means that we (well, Cindy did all the work when it comes to the questions because I'm a slowpoke) created some questions which we will answer alternately. Jetzt geht's los! (that's German for BOO-YAH!)
~What was your view on the book before you started reading?~
Anne: The author told me it had a lot of things in common with the Mortal Instruments series. I haven't read a single one of the books in that series (or subseries) yet, so I didn't really know what to expect, apart from it being YA and Fantasy involving angels and demons. Oh, and cheesy jokes. I love cheesy jokes. So you can say my expectations were undefined, yet also highish? The cover looks very professional and cool, which definitely made me curious as soon as I saw it!
Cindy: I was told the same thing by the author but unlike Anne I’ve read the first two books of The Mortal Instruments and (only recently) I started to watch the series (thanks Netflix). So I had some idea of what I could expect. I was really looking forward to the jokes and curious about the rest and like Anne already mentioned, the cover was appealing, so you can definitely say that my expectation were above average.
After reading the book:
~What was your impression of the novel (concept and setting)?~
Cindy: The setting is Urban Fantasy and so it is not hard to imagine what everything looks like since it is set in our contemporary society. The concept of the Nephilim is not unfamiliar because it is comparable to the series of The Mortal Instruments written by Cassandra Clare. First of all, I want to say that I really did like the idea of essence. Everyone (human or non-human) has essence and it is decided by their actions if the essence is light or dark. This novel touches many Biblical events and I would have liked it if the subjects were not just slightly touched but had been described with more detail and with more interaction concerning the event and the characters involved. Don’t get me wrong, there were some interactions between events and characters but these things were simply to mention something about the main character (see my opinion on her below).
I felt like this series is going to be a combination of other YA series that were written in the last couple of years, series as Percy Jackson, Black Magician and The Mortal Instruments. Once every few pages, there was an aspect that seemed to come from one series or another, it was just too much. I am aware that it’s difficult to write something out of the ordinary these days since fantasy is a hype, but because of the similarity between this series and many others the original aspects of the novel (like the essence part and features concerning the Nephilim) are not that visible.
There was also a promise of action, witty jokes and romance but to be quite honest, I didn’t perceive it in a good way. Perhaps I am no longer the right audience for YA novels, though, I can lose myself in one if it’s amusing/good enough. When there was action it was weak and unclear because of the lack of detail on the fight itself. I didn’t really laugh at any of the jokes... could be me but I wasn’t at all that amused and the romance was just... there. Romance I can live with, I actually love chick lit once in a while and I’m always in for a good love story but this was just not it for me. It was the usual see and fall in love and then get betrayed scenario. This point leads to my last comment in this section: everything was too predictable. Don’t get me wrong, there’s nothing wrong with clichés or being predictable but only when it occurs sometimes. In this case, I could see it all coming from miles away without trying. There was no suspense, no moment when I wondered; how is this going to end?! Omg can’t handle this?!... it simply wasn’t there.
Anne: I only knew about the Nephilim due to playing Diablo 3 and I think the idea of the Fallen Angels I had pretty much corresponded to the ones described in this book. The good Angel-offspring , however, was totally different than I expected. I guess I assumed they were able to fly or something instead of being able to lift a Volkswagen.They just seemed rather weak compared to the dark side, but I notice that in every good vs. bad storyline, so that's nothing new here.
I also liked the idea of Essence and not just the light or dark aspects, but colourful Essence everywhere. Imagine looking around and seeing the world as if oxygen can poop rainbows. I'd say yes to that!
I haven't read many popular YA Fantasy during the past 10 years or so, so I can't draw the same comparisons as Cindy, yet I saw correlations with Legend of Korra, Battlestar Galactica, Philip Pullman's His Dark Materials and many more. This didn't bother me all too much (I mean, hey, it shows that the author is a fellow member of the geekosphere), except for the yellow-eyed Mr.Nasty which could've stepped right out of Supernatural...
Cheesy jokes, yes! I didn't laugh at them either...and this is the second time this year where I was rubbing my hands in anticipation of some chuckles and didn't so much as twitch a nostril because of it. Maybe we Dutch folk are too influenced by the British or something *shrugs*.
The romance part was instalove basically and not something I enjoyed either. And predictability? Yes, definitely a lot of that. When Cindy was a couple of chapters ahead of me and asked me "Guess what just got revealed?", I could pretty much guess it in one go. Except for the ending...I mean, I knew something fishy was up, but I didn't expect it to be that fishy. Tu dun dun!
~Who was the protagonist and what did you think of him/her?~
Anne: Evelyn Brooks, a.k.a. Eve is the 18-year-old protagonist of the story. After her mother died (and father sort of took off), she was raised by her grandfather, together with her best friend Ria. I honestly don't know what to think of Evelyn a.k.a. Eve (speaking of biblical things eh?). During the first half of the book, I found her to be a bit whiny and basically kind of worshipping her grandfather (I'll come back to that later). On the other hand, she can kick some serious butt and loses control of herself occasionally, which can be refreshing. The instant drooling over Josh, though....pfff.
Cindy: I agree with Anne on this one. There is nothing else to say for me really, Anne has said it all ( the force is strong in this one).
~How were the other characters formed?~
Cindy: The rest of the characters were just empty. No real background, not even a good enough description except for some minor description of Evelyn’s guardian Nate and some physical features of some characters. Usually, it is just the explanation of a skill and if the person is nice, yes or no. Those things are not even close to being characters... they are just filling.
Anne: I agree that a lot of the characters were a bit stereotypical: Badboy/hunk Josh, sassy finger-snapping teenage friend Ria , whom I disliked from the start...there isn't a lot of depth to their personalities. I did like Freddy and Miranda, though!
~Did the author create an accessible novel or was it hard to get through it?~
Anne: I think the writing in itself was quite good. The sentences were very well constructed, there were no typos and the use of language was intelligent (I'd expect nothing less from an English teacher). However, I did notice that some of the scenes' descriptions didn't make any sense to me. A note I made somewhere: "WTF, they were way up high out of view??" illustrates this nicely. I just often couldn't get a clear picture of the surroundings. And then there's a bit of repetitiveness in the first 50% or so, specifically when it comes to the word 'Grandpa': 201 times...that's pretty excessive. Another one of my notes says "WE KNOW NOW!". Nuf said. I finished the book within 4-5 days, though, while hardly having the time to read properly, so it wasn't that hard to get through.
Cindy: We really need to disagree more, Anne, that would make a way more interesting double review hahaha. Still, I have to agree with you. The overall flow was nice, there was no random sidetracking or scene of which I thought could have been left out and there was no use of complex language. Quite straightforward. I finished the book in about 4 days or so. It would have been nice if there had been some more detail but this is a part of what I mentioned in my overall impression so I will not say more about this. Anne, don’t even get me started with ‘grandpa’ (or other versions of the word) or peachy… really… just don’t.
~Does this book have an: 'Omfg, I didn't see this coming at all!?!'-moment?~
Cindy: No, not really.
Anne: I can't say that I didn't see things coming at ALL, but like I said before, there were a few things (like the ending) that did surprise me a little.
~*drum ruffle* The final verdict?~
Anne: I find this one really hard to rate because it really isn't a bad book, but I can't say I truly enjoyed it to bits either. That being said, like Cindy, I think I might have outgrown these kinds of stories as well. A.k.a.:
I still think a lot of young people will really like this book, though, and I do wonder about what will happen in the sequel myself as well. So I'm going to give it 2.5 brownies. It was an okay read, but I hope the sequel will have some more depth to it.
Cindy: I had just expected so much more but instead it left me empty and not really interested in what would happen next. Like Anne, I think that this book will definitely do well with a young audience for 14-18 year-olds. The text in itself was alright, but the story was not really what I had hoped and maybe even expected it to be. For my rating, I used Goodreads in this case, so I give this book 2 stars because I think it is okay but it was lacking some things for me.
~Overall score~
2.5 stars and recommended to a younger audience. There's still some creepy violence in it, so we'd say this is very suitable for 14-18-year-olds.
A big thank you to G.R.Fillinger for providing us with a copy of his book in exchange for an honest review!

Iron Inheritance is an inspired piece of fiction that I would recommend to any reader. The story of the Nephilim and their presence on earth is relatable to readers on so many levels. The humor, pop culture references, and relevant characters allow you to explore an otherwise unseen world. Angels here on earth? People imbued with angelic essences? A conflict of dramatic proportions? These are all explored and defined in a way that opens up the heavens and allows us to peek into their domain. With each turn of the page, a new quality is discovered about this unseen world and our main characters’ multi-faceted natures don’t ever allow us to rest easy. Eve, the protagonist, one of the “Graced,” is fun and young, strong and aggressive, and confused and excited. We get to live vicariously through Eve and her very human best friend, Ria. Their adventures, love interests, and oh…you know…fighting the forces of evil, make this an enjoyable adventure from beginning to end. Fillinger’s ability to create such complex characters who are dealing with everyday struggles and world-ending battles is what keeps me eagerly awaiting the next installment of this fascinating and superbly written series.

What a fun read, a classic hero’s journey! The only time this book disappointed me was when it ended. This book delivers excitement and adventure with characters who become your friends, as well as surprises right up to the very end. I can’t wait to read the next one! Fillinger craftily unfolds his story and invites us to join Eve on her journey of self-discovery. The mystical, magical, mythical coming-of-age elements of Harry Potter, Percy Jackson, and Star Wars all rolled into one with a Biblical twist.

One word: WOW!! This book kept me on the edge of my seat the whole entire time, throughout the time I was reading, I found myself not being able to stop myself from turning the pages. I would recommend this book to any young adult, or to anybody who likes to read suspenseful novels. I really want to know how the saga continues. Fillinger definitely knows how to keep his audience in suspense and capture their attention and imagination. When reading this book you are no longer yourself, you are Evelyn Brooks.
March 21, 2016
Iron Inheritance has it right on so many fronts! Intriguing, spellbinding, engrossing - an epic adventure from beginning to end. The characters wend their way into your imagination and heart - without always being predictable! The forces of light and darkness do most righteous battle, leaving the reader somewhere in the crossfire...a real page turner!

The summary that Amazon provides for this book is very much lacking. Yes this book is a new adult urban fantasy story but it is a very rich one. The characters in this book are fun, multi-dimensional and all around interesting. Evelyn Brooks also known as Eve is our protagonist (as if you couldn't figure that out) and she is accompanied by Ria, her best friend, and Nate, her guardian angel. As a child of the 90's I can't help but compare them to Buffy the Vampire Slayer's Scooby Gang. As time progresses they are joined by Josh (the love interest), Miranda (the artist), and Frederick (the lovable clown). Each character filled out an essential piece to the overall plot and story line. I am so enjoying that there was no lazy writing!
Speaking of the writing and it's style, I have to give a hand to G.R. Fillinger! I love the peppered in pop culture! It was just enough to be enjoyable without being over the top. While overtime this will age the book, I think it's a great detail. I wish some of the older books I have read had some references. I think it makes that universe just a tad richer. This kind of smart writing just pulled me in and didn't let up.
The universe much like in Harry Potter or Supernatural, is just like ours but not. In this book, angels, demons, and so much in between, play out the greatest battle there is, the one of good versus evil. I really enjoyed how the superhuman powers were explained by way of angelic essence and how free will could alter everything. You have to read this book to truly understand just how deep G.R. Fillinger took these concepts but its quite thought-provoking and enjoyable.
As a new adult we must discuss Eve's growth as a character. While she is fundamentally the same person from the beginning to the end, you can see how the circumstances she is brought through have weighed on her and started her metamorphosis. G.R. Fillinger played it smart by not jumping Eve's development in this first book as this is but the beginning of the series. I found the most growth of character can be seen in Ria, Eve's best friend. This was also smart because we can see a progression and a change without making it too out of turn. Ria shows a strength of character one does not at first expect from her. While she is seen as a force to be reckoned with since the first chapter, she doesn't really come into her own until later.
The romantic underpinnings of this story were extremely well done. I really enjoyed their complexity as they are not fully realized yet. This kind of romantic suspense is great. Nothing is worse than floozy characters who meet and are suddenly in a relationship (or more) ::cough:: Twilight ::cough::
One of the best things about this story is that even when you think you know what is going on, it turns on its end and you are left with really big questions. I thought I read enough stories to not be surprised about anything anymore but there is one part at the end that really surprised me. That's not to say that I didn't have inklings but just before the end I thought they were cleared up. Well... nope! Totally surprised me. Bravo!
I have to say I completely enjoyed this book and I can't wait until the next installment! This book has earned a five rating as not only was it a really good fun read but it made me think and it even surprised me. What more could any reader want! I would recommend this book to anyone with a curious nature who enjoys a good adventure story mixed up with a good dose of humor, and a sprinkling of romance.

Addicted! I can't wait to see where this series goes. This book has a fresh take on the Nephalem genre. Fast paced with a unpredictable storyline, it's hard to put this book down. It's witty dialogue had me laughing out loud on several occasions. Got to love a book with lots of action and humor.
There are a plethora of endearing and lovable characters in this story. Eve is a dynamic main character who is more relatable than most in this genre. It's exciting to follow her on what seems to be the beginning of an epic journey. The female characters in this story are strong and the male characters are swoon worthy. It's impossible not to get sucked into their world - and you won't want to leave.
I definitely recommend this book to anyone who looking for a great new read (coming from someone who reads over 100 books/year).

This is a great story. Honestly, the synopsis simply doesn't do justice to the depth of the story. An exploration of familial bonds, the ties of friendship and the impact on the events involving both.
Fast paced and engrossing, I found it easy to make a connection with Evelyn and the supporting characters. Although some of the themes in this Urban Fantasy story might be familiar to some readers, I felt that this was a refreshing narrative full of surprises.
I loved the backbone of the story against seemingly insurmountable odds, and a breathtaking betrayal. A
What I will say is that I am looking forward to the next installment with eager anticipation.

I loved this book! I was very dubious to begin with as it was recommended to me based on the fact that I'd loved the Lauren Kate Fallen series ... I thought it would just be amother version of that and was very skeptical ... how wrong was I?!
This is such an original storyline, very gripping and not at all predictable. I was on the edge of my seat reading this! I was watching the page numbers creeping to the end of the book thinking "Not yet! I need more! Don't finish yet!"
I cannot wait for the second book to be released! Would recommend it over and over again ... I already have in fact!
