I stopped angel's hearts,
tore queens from their thrones, & kings,
with my pocket watch.
This comes next in
Oh, & before I sign off, one thing that bothered me-- on page 126, Librarian Childress corrects Captain Leung's classification of angels as "European," saying they are "Biblical" & that she ...wasn't sure what a European angel would be. Well I call foul! Clearly the angels are European, because they are beautiful humanoids with wings. Not winged chimera or rings of fire; they are Pre-Raphaelite angels. Now, I at first thought angels were going to act as a sort of genius loci, or at least, manifest that way. The excuse of perspective, writ large. Then the winged savages show up, who as far as I can determine are made in the image of the angels. Childress, as a well-educated scholar, should have known better! That is all I'm saying. I wonder if Green will answer the riddle? If not, I'm guessing Pinion, the fourth book, has a darn good chance of it, with a title like that.
