Her birth was shrouded in mystery and tragedy. Her destiny is beyond comprehension. Her pursuers long to see her broken.

In the rough, shadowy hills of Appalachia, a nation carved from the United States following years of government infighting, Caitlyn and her companions are the prey in a terrifying hunt. They must outwit the relentless bounty hunters, skirt an oppressive, ever-watchful society, and find passage over the walls of Appalachia to reveal the dark secrets behind Caitlyn's existence -- and understand her father's betrayal.

Interesting and Creative

The U.S. has become a very different place. Instead of one united country, it is now broken into Appalachia and the Outside. On the Outside, medical science made some incredible advances, some good and others rather harmful. Inside Appalachia, some things have advanced, but others seem to have went backwards. One thing is for sure, inside Appalachia is little freedom and outside is too much freedom. Caught in the middle is a young lady, Caitlyn, trying to flee to the outside. What she possess is so valuable, people from both sides want her captured.

I love Sigmund Brouwer's books. You never know exactly what you're going to get and each one is a new exciting adventure. Broken Angel is hard to describe. In many ways, I think what you get from it will largely depend on what you take into it. It's a very touching tale which pulls the reader into a multitude of struggles. Not just those that are survival related, but those that are internal as well. How we deal with people and environments, our perceptions of others, and our views of ourselves.

At times I found Broken Angel to be a bit confusing, but that confusion really enhanced the story. Under the harmony of Appalachia was an eruption waiting to happen. Nothing was really what it appeared. Even the fearless villain, Mason Lee had deep seated fears that when brought the surface were debilitating. Virtually all the characters were mysteries to be unraveled and none were quite what you'd expect.

I very much enjoyed this book. It had a softness that brought out each character combined with a plot full of twists and turns. Nothing was predictable and it had a nice mystery surrounding it. Very enjoyable.

What If This Really Soars Beyond My Expectations?

Reviewed in the United States on December 6, 2011

Through the eyes of Sigmund Brouwer, be prepared to not exactly be prepared for what you think is coming. Because you don't! His Nick Barrett mysteries were always amazing, and he continues to write and write and write. Now, I haven't read everything he has to offer, but I've read enough to know that he does his job well. And in "Broken Angel," he does his job once again, yet holding back. I thought it was worth it for the most part, while I reserve the right to any choice thoughts I feel necessary.

There's simply something about Caitlyn that is bound to raise questions, and trust me when I say that Caitlyn has questions of her own. She experiences the feelings of wrath at what a father's betrayal is supposed to feel like. In short, she knows she's on her own, hopeful to reach this dreaded country's fence, and then what?

But before she knows it, she has company, and they happen to be on her side. So in the midst of being the hunted in this deadly game, will there be a victory? Vicious enemies want to desperately say otherwise. How does this all play out? Is there any kind of hope?

Brouwer puts this together, step by careful step, and in the end, he leaves the reader longing for more. Because as much as I hate to be a possible spoiler, he catches you on a major cliffhanger, knowing that this isn't exactly the end. See? I told you I had a choice thought or two! But despite my choice words, Brouwer gives "Broken Angel" the flight it needs. And I'm hoping it really soars once I get my hands on "Flight of Shadows," because I'm expecting something huge!

Couldn't put it down.

The story has many twists and turns that keep you
glued to it. Then it leaves you wondering if this could happen. Given our current times and events, I am not sure it's very far from where we are today.

I found this interesting, but it didn't really develop the characters like I wanted. Also, it seemed like it just ended without much closure.

Thought provoking fiction?

Reviewed in the United States on September 13, 2013

This book gives much to the question of what we can do when we have vast knowledge of DNA. It provokes the questions of how far can we go and how far should we go? It is very well written and exciting reading. I loved it. It makes me ask "how far will God let us go", before He says "enough already". Great Book! I

This book was a little hard to get into, but once I did, could not put it down. The fact it was set in the far future was a little disconcerting, and one of those things that will never happen. The story was sad, and had a surprise ending, which up until then did not make a lot of sense. I would recommend this book to anyone who can really stretch their imagination, then forget it once they close the book. good luck on that.

Very unique plot, enjoyable read

I really enjoy Sigmund Brouwer's books because they always make me think. I have only read two, but each one portrayed extreme Christianity in a negative light, which is surprising coming from a Christian author. I believe his purpose is to cause the reader to consider slippery slopes that can lead to wrong thinking and actions, and avoid them.

Truly a broken angel!

This was a wonderful pleasant surprise read! From the beginning it kept me not wanting to put it down. Following the character development and how everyone was related was well done in my opinion. Without spoiling anything I was happy how the characters ended up!!

I Wouldn't Recommend this Book

Reviewed in Canada on June 22, 2010

Our book club picked this book as one of our selections. I didn't find the story very gripping or interesting and gave up after reading 160 pages. Interestingly, only one of our 8 members enjoyed the book. The majority found it disjointed and didn't like the tone of the book.
