World After
by Susan Ee
Initial Reaction:
Synopsis:
Basically, World After is the second book in the Penryn and the end of days series by Susan Ee. It follows the events that happened in Angelfall, but now with a lot more action. If you haven't read Angelfall, WHAT ARE YOU DOING!? Get on that.
Thoughts: Some Minor Spoilers if you haven't read the book yet! But I don't go into too much detail about the scenes.
Where do I begin.
Penryn is an amazing character. She doesn't need a male to come and save her ass. She's the one who saves theirs. Watching her face what she does in this book is incredible. From what happened to Paige and how it took Penryn a while to see beyond the physical aspects and deformities that she was put through; to see that Paige is still her little sister inside. But now is a little more kickass.
Penryn, as we know, was worried about Raffe's whereabouts, but she didn't need him. She could hold her own, and even when she couldn't, Pooky Bear was there to help her.
Pooky Bear. Oh My God.
I conceded to a spoiler from one of my friends about what was going to happen with the name, Pooky Bear. I literally facepalmed when she jokingly called Raffe/her sword the name. But after when Raffe found out, I laughed out loud.
"I am Pooky Bear, from an ancient line of archangel swords"
"How is she going to get any respect?"
Oh Raffe does she ever. That scene was AWESOME! All the blades bowing down to the great and powerful POOKY BEAR!
The scorpions/locusts are so creepy and just urg.
I think I'd have a heart attack if I ever saw a swarm of them fly over my head let alone have one so close that they'd push me into a cage, within arms reach of starving and terrified humans. That scene was horrible.
But when Penryn saw that one with the pants and wedding band and realised that they were once humans... Holy God, my disgust and horror rose to another level.
Penryn's mum. I don't know how Penryn can be able to cope. Her mum is really really... well crazy. The police cruiser scene is really horrible. Well, for Penryn at least. We know that her mum is off her rocker but she literally goes nuts.
I have to admit, when Penryn and Raffe flew over the boat and they saw her mum drawing on the Locusts chest with lipstick, I laughed.
Raffe and Penryn's moments alone are just so... *sigh* I love them. That's just it, I love them. It makes the otherwise horrifying and bloodthirsty book, kind of nice.
Overall, there are many situations Penryn faces in this book, that I would NEVER in a million years be able to come out on top of. This book is action packed but has a hint of romance, perfect really. If you've read Angelfall and not World After, Do It! Read it now!
