Alan Campbell's second novel Iron Angel is absolutely brilliant. Continuing the story where Scar Night left off in this book the entire world is revealed to us as well as various parts of hell. Taking place in many locations the story becomes an epic of waring gods much larger in scope than the first book. All the good things from the first book are still to be found here, all the imaginative places and descriptions, while at the same time the bad has been improved. That makes this an even better story. Again this book ends with a cliffhanger but it felt like a much more natural place compared to Scar Night. Like the end of one story and the beginning of the next rather than suddenly stopping in the middle. I hope he can keep such a level of excellence for the next one, God of Clocks.
