Publisher Description

Pulling the Wings Off Angels is a madcap adventure brimming with the ethical quandaries and sardonic wit of The Good Place by World Fantasy Award-winning author K. J. Parker

Long ago, a wealthy man stole an angel and hid her in a chapel, where she remains imprisoned to this day.

That’s the legend, anyway.

A clerical student who’s racked up gambling debts to a local gangster is given an ultimatum—deliver the angel his grandfather kidnapped, or forfeit various body parts in payment.

And so begins a whirlwind theological paradox—with the student at its center—in which the stakes are the necessity of God, the existence of destiny—and the nature of angels.

Expressionless Face“Every character in this book is unlikeable.”
“(3.5 stars) Compassion and forgiveness are the opposite of justice, when you come to think of it.-K.J. Parker First time reader of K.J. Parker. I'm not a big fan of supernatural/religious fantasy but I did enjoy the sarcasm of the main character who's been put in an ironically impossible position. The solution to the conundrum is fairly bleak but makes perfect sense in light of the situation. The prose is sharp. Very quick read.”
