Angelfall by Susan Ee
5.0
I'm struggling with rating this. It falls somewhere between intriguing and just plain bizarre. All of it was emotional in some way or another, and some parts were so painful I actually felt myself getting pissed off at a world that doesn't actually exist. I'm going to start book 2 tonight and have hope for things to start making a little more sense.
I think maybe 4.5 stars would be best, but I'll round up because as a whole, I really did enjoy it. That's mostly Penryn's doing though. Something about her really, really speaks to me. I don't know if it's her fierce loyalty to the people she cares about, her obviously need-based maturity, or her way of dealing with moral issues from both a logical and emotional standpoint, but there's something about her that made me love her almost immediately. She does it all without being the typical stuck-up or downright boring narrator that I'm so used to. There's just something real about her that ties all of her traits together perfectly.
Anyway, enough fangirling about Penryn. The other characters are super great, too.
