A review by jamietherebelliousreader
Angelfall by Susan Ee

4.0

4 stars. And yet another book that I am so late to reading and then ended up absolutely enjoying. I remember when this series was hyped all over the place and it never struck me as something I would want to read at the time which is probably for the best because I would’ve hated it at the time. But now? This book was just what I wanted. It’s well written, it’s dark and gritty and full of action with awesome characters. It has everything.

Penryn is fierce. She’s got a lot on her plate to be so young and she takes it in stride. She’s trying to find her younger sister, Paige, and she is willing to do anything to get her back. She is a great heroine, definitely one of the strongest I’ve read in YA in a long time.

Raffe is great as well, I don’t take to angel characters too much but he was so well done. The banter between him and Penryn was great and I enjoyed that there was no romance between the two of them. They learned to care for one another and become friends but they have bigger things to worry about which I appreciated. I wouldn’t be upset if it did turn into a romantic relationship later on but as it was it was absolutely perfect.

This book exceeded my expectations and I’m going to go into the second book expecting it to be even better than this one. Fingers crossed.
