This is the place to share your thoughts about the unique paranormal universe Adrian Phoenix has created in A Rush of Wings.

Let's discuss the different paranormal species present in the book and how they are different/similar to other UF/Paranormal novels and universes, the different traits and powers they have, etc.

Okay, what about that whole blue glow thing that Dante had going on. Is he able to manipulate anything on a molecular level? Or is it only living things that he can change? Is this a power that can only destroy? Or is he able to create? I think that it'll be interesting to see how this particular power develops.

Very interesting issue you ahve raised Jennifer :-) I think Dante's powers and the full extent of his abilities will be developed further in the series, because there is a lot of unanswered questions there. In the glossary he is called the Maker/Unmaker, and as he was able to mend Lucien's and Hethear's torn and damaged flesh I would say this is not just a destructive but a creative power. My guess would be that he can change the molecular structure of anything, as I would imagine it must be harder to alter living things, but this is just my logic, we'll ahev to see how Adrian Phoenix intended Dante and his power to work.

I found the paranormal universe in A Rush of Wings original. I liked that Adrian Phoenicx attributed some unusual traits and powers to the creatures and not just the most common ones, so it didn't feel like déjá vu.

I liked her take on angels, how they are not angelic, pure and good creatures but have a darker side, that Lucien having a priority goal (the welfare of Dante) didn't mind taking all steps and sometimes downright bad deeds (killing!) for that aim. Liked how "human" and complex the angels were.

I also loved the telepathic communication :-)
