I enjoyed this. Not every thing grabbed me, but over all it was good.

"Funny thing. Freedom actually felt terrible." It's shifting again in a way I didn't expect. Very interesting.

"There's no reason to the titles we have or the roles we play, because inside, we're all really somebody else."

This feels like it's heading in a direction I hope it's not heading into. That said, I'm really liking these characters, Azel and Sera. Azel is interestingly complex, the way a great anti-hero can be. Sera also balances between dark and light.

The Spirit (mistakenly called angels by humanity) defend humans from the Wake (misnamed as demons). The Spirit live on a planet of sulphur, a burning world, which is unexpected for a people who believe themselves good and keepers of the balance.

Prologue was beautifully written, but confusing as I didn't have enough sense of the character or their world. It's getting clearer with Chapter 1. An interesting take on god and spirit and universe.
