I bought this for the art. I ran across some Ruth Thompson art at the local SFF con several years ago, liked it, and put in the winning bid for one of the prints. I especially liked that she depicted a lot of men instead of only the bombshell chickies so prevalent at SFF cons.
Not being very widely-read in religion or any sort New Agey stuff that might deal in the topic, I found the text rather surprising and weird. It can be read in one setting; I just happened to get sidetracked by other thin I bought this for the art. It can be read in one setting; I just happened to get sidetracked by other things.

The artwork of this book is absolutely amazing. It was nice to see the archangels of angelic lore dressed in something other than robes and towels. Though I hold doubts to any form of accuracy with the 'angelic script' discussed in the book, it does list various nicknames and stories that involved the main archangels, each in their own section.

If you're looking for encyclopedic information, this probably isn't what you're looking for. If you're looking for fantastic full color pictures and a four page summary on Michael, Gabriel, Raphael, Azrael, and Samael, then this will be more than suitable. Jun 14, Mark rated it it was amazing. Absolutely amazing artwork! Ties nicely to biblical passages and other religious sources. Do you know that archangels Michael and Gabriel are both mentioned in the Bible and Koran?
The author also uses passages from St Thomas Aquinas as he categorizes the Angels into hierarchy according to their proximity to God's grace! Employs a plethora of other sources so the reader understands that there are references and sources to back up the author's depictions.
