Auteur's library

Susan Ee

Angelfall
Penryn and the End of Days I.

2011

For this one I really don't get where the hype comes from. What's supposed to be so great about the book? I just don't see it, I guess. All I see is a post-apocalyptic teenage harlequin! Post-apocalyptic teenage harlequin! Post-apocalyptic teenage harlequin! Oh, as far as a harlequin is concerned, it's fairly good, three-stars kinda good. But not worth much more than 2€, as a harlequin should!
Wanna know more? Read this.

Tags: low-demons or weird little biting creatures or little mixed-race frankenstein-monstrous vampires, bad bad angel bitch and, obviously, the ex-girlfriend, sister kidnapping, crazy mom' and everything that could complicate the heroine's pursuit of happiness, angels à toutes les sauces, kick-ass heroine, I have to give you that, it is a post-apocalyptic world, though it doesn't seem to bother anyone save for the resistance army, light-hearted rather than humorous, though, nice try, growing up facing hardship, definitely a difficult romance, biblical references, she's supposed to attempt to rescue her sister, when she remembers, race on a fundamental level, disappointing angel far-right fanatics, harlequin type of romance: quick wit and misunderstandings
