mmm it sped up a lot at the end which kept me invested but i'm still not sure if i'm willing to continue the series based on where it left off -- i found some of the characters and the world-building interesting, but not too significantly -- and the amount of gore was a lil "ew" at times which left me wondering what the purpose of the gore was and if they'll show the reasoning for it in upcoming books. but enough on the gritty, i thought it was really well written for a YA book, the descriptions were very illustrative (for better and for worse sometimes :D) but a smooth read overall!

“When you're small enough to have to look up at everyone around you, there's no such thing as a dirty fight.”

Basically, the world as we know it has ended, angels are everywhere and humans are trying to survive. An interesting plot! We have angels against angels and Penryn who is trying to survive with her little sister who is in a wheelchair and mother who has schizophrenia and is both intriguing and scary. I didn’t expect her mother to survive and I was surprised to see how self-reliant she was when left on her own. I hope she’ll get a bigger role in the next two books.

The writing felt a little off in the beginning, mainly because of the over-explaining and this made it harder to really get into the book. But I have to say that it got better or maybe I just got used to it. The story also got more interesting later on, so that helps!

Now I’m debating whether to read the other books or not. I didn’t love this book, it was okay but on the other hand

I want to know how Paige ended up in a wheelchair–because I don’t believe it’s their mother’s fault–and why the angels are even on Earth and what is going on with them.
