A Madness of Angels has probably been my favorite story to read thus far. Even though we may have only read a small bit of it, I think my brain is more accustomed to modern fantasy literature, so it just gobbled this story up.
A Madness creates 21 Century Gothic themes most notably by changing the old and crumbling abbey/castle into London, dark and decaying.
Another strong theme very prevelent is the supernatural, which takes form in the Trash Golem, evil shadows, and Electric Angels.
Lastly they book uses heavily the theme of unable to escape the past. As the protagonist mostly just wanders around for the first 25 pages having flashbacks of his previous life and what events have lead up to now.
That is all.
Time for breakfast.
