World After by Susan EeMy rating: 5 of 5 stars
Obtained this free copy from Definitely Books.
I started reading this book without knowing the background of Angelfall, the prequel of this book. So in the beginning I have no idea what happened in the previous book.
From the narration from the protagonist, Penryn, I can know that there was a war going on between human and the angels. Apart from the human and angels, there are some other creatures that looks like scorpions which are very evil. And Penryn was supposed to be dead, which in this book, she's alive and carrying an angelic sword owned by an angel called Raffe.
As the story progressing, I was freaked out by the craziness of Penryn's mom and the monstrous sister, Paige. I can't imagine what happened to her with her stitched wounds on her face and her sharp razor teeth.
The flashbacks that brought by the sword to Penryn showed that Raffe is a strong warrior angel with exceptional fighting skills. Penryn could learn his sword skills through the flashbacks. The character growth of Penryn especially on her fighting skills can greatly show at the later part of the story, which she fights with tactics, not brutal force.
Overall the story really do attracts me even though I started with 2nd title. I enjoyed reading Susan's writing style of balancing the narrative description, a little bit of romance and great action of the fights.
I'll get the first book and looking forward for the next title in the series.
