Angelfall (Penryn & the End of Days #1) by Susan Ee

My rating: 4 of 5 stars


This was such an unexpected gem. To describe the basic plot wouldn't do it justice. This author takes risks and I for one appreciated that fact. This is not your typical YA and I mean that in the best of ways. Penryn, our heroine, is everything you'd want in an upside down dystopian: brave, practical, courageous along with a bunch of other little flaws that make her realistic. Raffe, our angel in need of assistance doesn't change his characterization when it would be convenient to make this a softer story. It's unflinching in some of it's depictions of a world where humans fight for their very lives on a daily basis. I am impressed and eagerly await the sequel slated for next summer.
