I
seriously don’t know why it’s taken me so long to finally read Angelfall.
I bought the book over a year ago after a friend raved about how good it
was. Since then, it sat on my shelf and FINALLY after the second book,
World After came out last week, I decided to read it. Now I’m kicking
myself in the butt for not reading it sooner!
Angels
have descended upon Earth and have caused complete chaos and almost the
extinction of mankind. Penryn, her mother and little sister Paige have
managed to survive for weeks after the angels declared war on earth, but having
to care for a younger sister who is in a wheelchair and a mother who is
schizophrenic while being chased by killer angels isn’t easy. Not to
mention all the humans that are desperate for food and shelter and will do
anything for the little bit of goods other have. Then one night, she sees
some angels fighting. They seem to be attacking an angel with beautiful
white wings and he’s losing the fight, especially when they cut off his
wings. In all that, Penryn ends up helping the white wing angel by giving
him his sword to even the fight. Big mistake because as a retaliation,
the other angels fly up and take her little sister. Penryn’s heart is
shattered. So she decided to help the angel in order to find out where
the other angels have taken her sister.
I really
like Penryn’s character. She is a fighter and a go-geter. I
honestly don’t think I could survive in a world like that, so kudos to her for
kicking some angel and demon butt! I love the chemistry between Penryn and
Raffe, the white winged angel. Raffe is sarcastic and I love it! I’m not
too sure about Penryn’s mom. I feel like there is more to her then what
we hear about in Angelfall. Maybe we can find out more in World
After.
I have only heard amazing things about this book. I am glad that you enjoyed it. I just realized that it is a free book with an amazon prime membership, so I have no excuse not to read it. :)
ReplyDeleteI loved this book. I liked the world the author created, though I'd be dead in it.
ReplyDeleteLooking forward to reading the next one.
