When Angels Fall by Z.A. Maxfield
My rating: 5 of 5 stars
If you’ve read the special project Wishing on a Blue Star, then this story is going to be familiar to you, as it is Z.A. Maxfield’s outstanding contribution to that anthology. But whether you have read the entire anthology or not, do yourself a favor and take the time to read When Angels Fall, even if it’s for a second or more times, because it is absolutely indicative of everything that can go so very right in a short story.
From the characterization to the theme of a divine and perfect love, Z.A. Maxfield sweeps the reader along on a journey that transcends belief, yet is altogether too believable for anyone who can, for a moment, bring themselves to become lost in the possibility that angels do exist.
This is a story of sacrifice, transformation, and salvation—all in the name of love. It is the perfect story, for this time of year, especially, and it’s FREE, so you have nothing to lose and possibly everything to gain by giving this one a try.
