Angelfall by Susan EeMy rating: 5 of 5 stars
Note: I read this book after World After, which I received for free from Definitely Books.
Immediately after I finished reading World After, I ordered Angelfall straight away to find out what happened in the prequel that made Penryn's little sister become a monster and why others thought she was supposed to be dead.
By reading Angelfall, some of the puzzles are solved such as why Penryn knows how to fight (at least she knows how to fight with tactics rather than with brutal forces). In this part of the character growth, I see the similarities of Penryn in Angelfall and Tris in Divergent. Both of them are small girls but with extremely brave and bold characters, and the learnt how to fight throughout the stories.
Raffe is sexy, strong, intelligent and handsome archangel with his angelic features despite losing his wings. His relationship with Penryn was built slowly from the dangers they came through together and there goes some romance. However, Raffe denied his feelings on Penryn just because angels are forbidden to be in a relationship with the Daughter of Men. I was surprised to read about the part that Raffe mentioned that he's agnostic. Are you kidding me? An agnostic angel?
In terms of writing styles, I really love the plot and the pace of this story. Susan's way of writing is similar to Veronica Roth - full of actions and fast pace, which is my cup of tea as I'm an impatient person.
I highly recommend this to fans of Divergent and those who like to read stories about angels.
