D’Angel: princess, a novel by Luna Torashyngu

Fika is sick, but actually as Genoid her body is stronger than ordinary human. When looking for cure in Japan, Fika finds new puzzles that brings her back to Indonesia.

In Indonesia, Fika was asked to act as President’s younger daughter’s private guard. Again, Fika is going back to high school as guard of Gayatri – prefer be called as Gya. But, the second first daughter is cold-hearted and introvert, also has no friends. Gya refuse Fika’s existence, and yet there are murder threats to all President’s family.

Fika tries to change Gya’s hard personality, also finds out the family puzzle and Genoid complicated problems. Fika’s problem becomes more complicated when she is sick, more than before and suddenly there is another Genoid with higher ability then hers. Whereas, she knows that she is the last Genoid in the world. When she fights this new Genoid, Fika asks herself, is this the end of her life?

The last part of D’Angel trilogy.

This last book is still good. Luna knew Indonesia’s secret service a lot, with their strict protocoler and has no sympathy or empathy to their object. Mission is the first. There are no other more. This time Fika doesn’t have to look for something. She has her object and she will do her mission with her way.

Genoid and hacker are still the background. Plus ilegal car race and a little karate kumite.

Finally, Andika reappeared. But, I don’t like his feeling. Who does he love? Ayumi or Fika? I hate when man can’t decide it clearly. The anticlimax is too short. Fika is dead but actually she fakes her own dead with Aditya’s help. Then she and Andika go in hiding. Oops, sorry spoiler.

I wanna read their love life a lot more. Maybe between Fika does her job in school, or Andika meet her in someplace. Not like this. I can’t see Andika’s real feeling. Overall, this is a good book. The tense is kept and the fighting is good. As if I see them all by myself.

D’Angel: rose, a novel by Luna Torashyngu

Actually, Fika wants to forget her tore up life and choose to live a new safe life in Malaysia. But Indonesia’s intelligence bureau finds her and asks her to go back to Jakarta to help a mission finding corruptor’s daughter.
As if, Fika goes back to her old life. She goes to high school that corruptor’s daughter goes and uses Ista as her name. fika is soon cradled with her never-have-enough teens life. she gets new bestfriends, join volley ball interclasses competition and school president election.
But her undercover is blow up and Fika has to go back to reality and her mission. She has to face General Rastaji, the man who ruin her life. Besides, Rastaji brings a big surprise to Fika!
Second part of D’Angel trilogy.
More action and undercover part. I think it’s pure action book. Going dark to empty building that is her enemy’s base. Alone to save the hostages with no back-ups. One man show Hollywood movie.
A little love life to colour Fika’s high school days. She can’t continue her relationship she has. It’s just like another action story which tell the life of undercover agents who are afraid of endangering their family. It’s good book. So natural.
Luna thought the outline and wrote it into a book. Maybe. And publisher divided it into three part because it’s too long. Maybe. I think of it because the story is so clear and neat. There always are problems with solutions. She thought all of the possibility that can happen. That admires me alot.

D’Angel, a novel by Luna Torashyngu

Is there a perfect girl? Commonly, if she’s clever in academic, she can’t do sports. If she’s beautiful, there’s no way she’s good in academic. But Fika does. She’s beautiful, clever and excellent in sports. In addition, she’s lucky in love. It’s impossible there is girl as perfect as she is.
But her luck and perfectness don’t stay long. When hanging out at the mall to celebrate her relationship with Reza, someone kidnapped Fika. It’s just not that, there are victims in that abduction incident.
Fika has to run with Andika who’s helping her. Andika said that, Fika can be so perfect so she will be kidnapped is because she is not human. Fika is Genoid, perfect created human. What the hell? Fika will more trust him if he said she has rich grandfather and will give her billions rupiah legacy.

This is the first book of D’ANGEL trilogy.
One word: COOL!

High school life, cell biology, millitary, spionage and science fiction. It’s like I see Hollywood action movie. Chasing car with helicopter, fighting and shooting sequences, superhuman, huge underground laboratory. A new breakthrough Indonesian teens literature.
I thought this is light novel. Perfect girl with popular boy with science fiction sequence in addition. But this is science fiction novel with high school student as main female character. I can’t believe it. DNA, nuclear reactor, many kinds of weapons, CIA, Indonesian police and military, OPM (Organisasi Papua Merdeka/Freedom Papua Organization), spionage and hacker.
Two thumbs up for the research and making this novel so tensing.
Writer gives us detail and very clear explanations. I can’t put it before I finished read this. After that, I’m still astonished.Up til now.
It’s very very Hollywood style.
