I absolutely devoured this book. I'm a huge fan of most anything dystopian, post-apocalyptic etc....I was a bit hesitant that this has angels in it since my previous YA / angel themed books were quite predictable. I think that the main character Penryn is a wonderful heroine in this story. She is strong, realistic, and brave as she uses Raffe to try and find her sister who has been taken by the angels for some reason. Her attraction to Raffe was a bit predictable but I was totally OK by it. I think her schizophrenic mother is a very interesting character as well, she seems to have some advantages in this new world and uses her mental illness to her advantage. When I got to the last page of the book I was a bit upset that it ended where it did but luckily I had the next book ready to go!

I honestly picked this up without expecting that much. It's been on my list for years, and I don't know why I waited this long.
Because
Oh
My
God
I am not the biggest angel fan, actually I never found any stories about angels interesting, and I wasn't expecting to like this this much but oh boy this book was amazing.
That little 325 pages book is totally worth every page. Even if you don't like angels.
It was surprisingly really dark and serious and the world is very interesting.

I decided to reread this book on a whim. I thoroughly enjoyed it the second time around. Rafe is amazing. Penryn is kickass and blows a lot of female protagonist put of the water.

I loved the characters in this book. The conclusion left me wanting more. I can't wait to read the second book.

incredible story! it was a fast paced, brilliant and disturbing.
Well, in my opinion it has too many descriptions, but all in all it's an amazing story with a great female character...
I'm looking forward to reading the second book *_____*
