Officially ''Green Angel'' is a post-apocalyptic and dystopian tale, with many similarities to the real-life events of September 11, 2001. However, it is also firmly MagicalRealism and many events would be impossible in the real world. Stylistically, it verges on prose-poetry and is very brief (128 pages), along with having surprisingly little dialogue. It was followed by a sequel in 2010 called ''Green Witch''.
