Angelfall by Susan Ee

Angelfall (Penryn and the End of Days, #1)

by Susan Ee

The incredible internet phenomenon that already has over 8,000 different five star reviews. (And counting.)

'An explosive, pulse-pounding journey' - Star

'The new Young Adult fantasy phenomenon' - Grazia

It's been six weeks since the angels of the apocalypse destroyed the world as we know it. Only pockets of humanity remain.

Savage street gangs rule the day while fear and superstition rule the night.

When angels fly away with a helpless girl, her seventeen-year-old sister Penryn will do anything to get her back.

Including making a deal with the enemy.

Initial thoughts: I enjoyed listening to the audiobook because I thought Caitlin Davies was a wonderful narrator. She sounded conversational without going over the top and didn't try too hard to come up with voices for all the characters. The narration flowed well and sounded very natural, which I liked.

Angelfall itself was a good book too. Humans and angels interacting on the same plane was something new to me. It was interesting to see individual angels with their own traits. They were distinctive characters that didn't fail to surprise. As with a lot of dystopians, there were periods of time that nothing seemed to be happening. Everyone was just trudging along in the hopes of reaching a destination. Those times hardly ever hold my interest. Nonetheless, I liked Angelfall.
