Great Review, It really laid out the book.

It's been a while since I've looked at the Divine so I don't remember the specifics of the nephilim very well (IIRC they had magic might, they had large size and good stats, they had to sleep a great deal and they had some access to holy magic). I am in a bit of disagreement with the book in regards to the presented opinion that Nepilim are appropriate only for a high powered game. My present game has magi 20 years out of apprenticeship and (although I admittedly don't remember the specifics of the Nephilim) I don't recall anything in their description that makes me think that Nephilim would have the horsepower to compare to magi in their 40's much less magi who were older. I think that they might blend just fine with freshly gauntleted hermetics. (At least this is my opinion based on my imperfect recollection).

I also want to point out (as you did in your review, but with less emphasis than I would have chosen to use) that the holy magic systems are in fact systems with sets of guidelines for creating effects in many ways like the hermetic magic system from the core book. While there are several example effects presented; holy magic is a great deal more than a list of spells.
