Familiar themes of alien entities that come to save the Earth, a mix of fantasy, post-apocalypse, and SF elements nicely woven together. Abasio and Olly are the tragic lovers. I liked how Tepper cut away from Olly's POV at the end, only to bring it back for Abasio. I'm still not sure what the Guardian Angel was, or how it came to be - it seemed to me that Seoca's plan had to incorporate a lot of details that could have gone wrong. But an interesting story and more familiar imagery than in earlier Tepper works.
