No one really knows what happened a thousand years ago; a nuclear war, a super plague that was immune to the vaccines, or an asteroid. People started emerging from their underground bunkers, and a new age began. Chaos, war, and strife now befouled the settlements. The Demon Plague’s demonic onslaught now terrorizes and slaughters everything in its path. Michael Miuriell works to unite the rival kingdoms to overcome their past conflicts in order to defeat their common enemy, the Demon Plague.

I loved the word choices and language used by the author; small word choices just elevated the book higher and increased the attention-grabbing. The word choices were perfectly chosen for imagery, which, in my opinion, is a crucial aspect of fantasy novels. The book was paced perfectly and was action-packed. The characters were incredibly well-developed. The plot was complex and intriguing.

One of my major dislikes of this book was the lack of page numbers. The file I read had no page numbers anywhere on the book, making it extremely difficult to keep track of where I was and write the review for this book. Other than the lack of page numbers on the document I read, the only other dislike of mine, on occasion, the dialogue felt a little bland, but that was rare.

I have rated The Angels of Resistance by David V Mammina 4 out of 4 stars. The book was gripping, and the fantasy world-building was incredible. The flow of the book was perfectly paced. I believe the book was professionally edited; I only found a handful of errors in the monstrous 641 pages that the book has. I had a hard time putting this book down. I did not take off for the lack of page numbers since I assumed there were page numbers on the actual book itself, but I would recommend that page numbers be added if there are none. Overall, this book was incredibly well-written and had many incredible aspects.

I would recommend this book to those who enjoy reading fantasy books or books about demons. Those who enjoy world-building, attention-grabbing, and fast-paced action novels will also enjoy this book. Due to the graphic violence and the erotic nature of the book, I would recommend this book to only adults or would suggest the readers’ discretion. There is a scene of sexual assault in the book, so I would once again recommend the readers’ discretion.

When I first read in the summary about the Demon Plague slaughtering everything I thought that this novel might be too dark, even for me. But the focus is probably on everyone working together, and that sounds more like what I’m interested in.

I need to be in the right mood to read a post-apocalypctic novel but this one seems to be much more than doom and gloom with very well constructed setting and characters. Thank you for your great review!
Ciao :)

I initially also thought that the book was really dark, but it really was wholesome with everyone working together.
