Okay, onto my review of the Angelfall Trilogy. I stayed up till midnight three days in a row because I had to know what happened. Last night was one of those nights. Now I want coffee. Only I don't drink coffee, so I guess I'll just be tired all day.
The angels came. Two months ago, they descended from the heavens. Beautiful and perfect as the dawn. But they did not bring salvation. Instead, they destroyed humanity. Now, we're rats skittering through our cities. Even if we manage to find a way to fend off starvation, we still have to survive the gangs that have taken over the streets. Not to mention the angels who rule the sky.
But I can't afford to despair. I have my wheelchair bound sister and my schizophrenic, off-meds mother to keep alive. I can't afford to worry about anything else. Until a dying angel falls out of the sky before me. I would kill him, if I knew how. But he brought with him the other angels who took my sister. So instead of ending him, I'm determined to keep him alive. Just until he can help me free my sister.

Well damn, that was an addictive series.
For so long the Angelfall trilogy sat on my to-read list. Everyone seemed to love it and it was right up my street, and yet I never pushed it to the top of my to-read list. That changed when I managed to find the books going cheap. Suddenly I could sit and power my way all three books, without waiting for Amazon to deliver the next one.
At first I wasn’t quite sure whether I was going to enjoy the series as much as everyone else seemed to. Whilst I was enjoying the story, I wasn’t as crazy obsessed as I had hoped to be. At some point, and I’m not sure when it happened, that changed. Out of the blue, I was unable to put the book down. The story dug its claws in me and there was no escaping.
It’s a brilliant young adult series, offering everything you would expect from such a series. Strong characters. Gripping storyline. The romantic undertones. I could say so much, but it’s much easier if you simply go and grab the book. I can assure you, it is worth the hype.
So worth the read.

Okay. I listened the Audibles for this series, and did so practically back-to-back. The only reason it wasn't COMPLETELY back-to-back is because I had to take breaks for little things like sleeping lol.
This was freaking AMAZING! I really loved the characters, and loved to hate some of them. The plot was just fantastic, and I loved every single moment of the trilogy. There was a scene in the last book that hit me square in the feels. It had dancers, you'll know it when you get to it lol. I would've liked more closure with a certain character, but I get why I couldn't have it. If you like angel based stories (and even if you don't so much), you should TOTALLY read this! This is one of those books that I'd like to be able to go back in time in order to read it for the first time over and over again!

Αγαπημένη τριλογία μέχρι τώρα!

I am torn between a 4 and a 5 rating, but am giving it a 5 because the story, across the three books is so engaging and I had trouble putting it down.
The series has a great start in Angelfall when Penryn, the main character, a 17 year old girl, rescues Raffe, the angel main character, from death in a dystopic world where the angels have attacked earth. The rest of their book is Penryn's search to rescue her sister with Raffe. The world and characters created are terrific and EE is a great story teller with a compelling story line.
The story lags in the second book, World After, when Penryn and Raffee get separated. I pretty much skipped the dystopia sections with Penryn and read the Raffe sections. Book two is my hesitation on the 5 rating.
But, book three, End of Days, is terrific and does a great job of wrapping up the series.
Some of the characters are particularly enjoyable, such as the twin resistance fighters, Tweedledee and Tweedledum, or Dee Dum.
EE self-published these books which has made me re-think self-published authors in today's world.
There are some gaps and not well-explained or believable sections in the books, sort of like watching a Mission Impossible movie. I just enjoyed the ride a lot and tried not to think too much about some of the plot points.

I found the first book lurking in my To Read list and, wanting to try something new, decided to jump right in and get the trilogy - which was the right decision.
Although I'm not the target audience, bring rather much older than reluctant heroine Penryn, I thoroughly enjoyed this series. I have a penchant for dystopian/post-apocalyptic fiction and this definitely satisfied my craving!
I found it easy to read without being obvious, with enough twists to keep me guessing. The characters were believable, and it was so wonderful to have a character with a mental illness portrayed in such a 'normal' way that I'm sure other readers can identify with in many ways. It also helped, for me, that I knew the location where most of the action takes place which made it easier for me to visualize things.
Overall, a solid, well-paced, gripping series that left me a little sad when it ended.

Wow! Such an incredible tale
This is a trilogy that I devoured. From the moment is began with Book 1, I was HOOKED. The imagery set the stage so well. The author did an outstanding job of describing the view of the world before and after the attack.
Penryn is a character that just blows your mind. She was just a 17-year-old girl but outshone the angels, grown men and any other character one would expect to be the savior in an apocalyptic setting. Her bravery was astounding. Her strength to push through and not give up (even when she really wanted to) was admirable.
This was such an unforgettable story!

I LOVED IT!!
I got so many strong emotions afterwards, for 3 ENTIRE DAYS!! For now they are slowly fading away, but i wouldn't be surprised if they still lasted for a couple weeks.
This series made me laugh my butt off:
For example: Raffes reaction when Penryn told him how she called his sword.
It also made me cry and be close to mental breakdown:
For example: (to be this spoiler-free) the end of the 1st book.
It makes me so upset that this serie was so good. It makes my expectations be very high for other books, and so.. most of them make me disappointed.
ARHGGGGGG WHYYYY SUSAN?!! I SO LOVE/HATE YOUUU FOR THISSS

Super sketchy world-building.
Wanna-be-clever banter falls painfully flat.
Protagonist who covers up her blandness by being "kickass."
Love interest who (and a romance that) alternately bores and annoys me.
Lack of depth in general.
Plot tries to be exciting and ends up boring and predictable.
Gloomy atmosphere makes the book kind of a slog without notably good prose to make it worth it
Weird, arguably misogynistic message about relationships among women.
I would have to turn off my brain to enjoy the book, which would have made reading it very slow going. And it is slow enough already.

I decided to reread this and I finished it all in three days and I was excited and scared and loved it just as much as I did when I first read it years ago. One of my favorite YA series, definitely.

I love the romance, the idea of fallen angels, and dystopian fantasy.

2.5 stars. It sort of reads like Supernatural fan fiction crossed with Twilight and the Hunger Games with a dose of something like Saw. If you're not in the target audience, I'd recommend it as a decent palate cleanser before you move on to something that requires a lot of attention and thought. Personally, I'm moving on to Malazan after this... O.o
I am probably pretty far removed from the target audience for this series (young adult, romance-inclined), so please take my review with a few grains of salt. I was initially drawn to the Angelfall Trilogy because I have a bit of a fondness for things that use or brush up against the "Christian Mythology" subgenre (like Supernatural, Darksiders, etc), as well as post-apocalyptic dystopia. This doesn't really do much more than pay lip service to the former, unfortunately, but the latter is not awful, and I still managed to read the series all the way through and enjoy myself more or less.
Basic premise of "angels appear on Earth and start wrecking everything in sight" works pretty well as a backdrop for a dystopian post-apocalypse, the angels themselves as villains are more generally "super-powered asshole humans." There's a bizarre emphasis in the culture of angels on earth (when they're not running about slaughtering humans) to drink, smoke, womanize (humans), and listen to jazz music in speakeasy-style clubs that they've set up in the ashes of humanity. They lack any kind of otherworldly attitude: there's no immortality long-view, no sense of the duty or justice of long-serving warriors, nothing that would characterize them beyond being frat boys with wings.
The main character Penryn is pretty standard fare "slightly self-deprecating, confident but not arrogant, reluctantly heroic, doesn't think she's physically attractive but everyone keeps saying she is, and probably a little too competent most of the time" teenager that you'll recognize from most every young adult book ever. It's probably accurate to call the character a Mary Sue: not necessarily in an insulting way but as an expectation of the YA genre. It actually works pretty well here for the most part; most of her actions and rising reputation are actually pretty well-earned throughout the course of the trilogy. One feature I quite liked is her background in self-defense as a response to a psychologically unstable (and thus occasionally abusive) mother.
World-building works okay. I found the "forbidden" romance between the teenager and her "Adonis-bodied" (author's words not mine) quasi-fallen angel to be incredibly boring. Secondary characters are always a bit one dimensional and too competent at what they specialize in.
The dialogue is probably the worst part about the series, especially between the two main characters. Substance is replaced with a lot of cringe-worthy banter that theoretically creates the sparks of romance. Other dialogue is better but never rises above "functional" throughout all of the conversations in the story.
My last complaint is that on occasion the book remembers that it's post-apocalyptic. There are a few scenes that are incredibly grisly and disturbing in their violence and cruelty, which puts the tone into anime/manga levels of inconsistent. I'm not squeamish by nature, but scenes shifted from "lame banter" to "child torture," "cannibalism," or "mass-slaughter" a little too frequently.
All of that complaining aside, it was very quick and very digestible. It will not challenge comprehension and holds together well enough to be a decent palate cleanser of a book before you launch into something meatier.

Bingeread this series in a matter of days and here is my review:
Love love loved! the first book. The romance is epic, the story holds and you can feel the difference between angel and human + I love the take on angels being 'evil' and an angel not believing God exist. Awesome story.
Second book I rushed through because it is just about Penrynn and I missed Raffe. I did get some question marks in this book though. Things just sort of happen and you're left standing there like 'okay, that happened' and it is quite useless to try and find the reason or need for that stuff to happen. There were things like this in de first book, but it got so much more in the second one.
On to the third we go! This is where the most messed up things happen. You can't put this damn book down because of the tension, but again REASONING? Things just happen and you can't help but wonder: why didn't they think of that before? What do they get out of this? SPOILER The angels stuck in hell, or whatever that place is, total damnation, watched their wives being brutally tortured and murdered before their eyes, send their by Raff and they are... happy to see him with his girl? They cheer him on like little boys? Like, I can get behind this if they HADN'T BEEN TORTURED for loving a woman, losing a woman, and what not. It just felt so so off. Not to mention: suddenly the children from angels and humans are normal? In the previous books it was pretty obvious the kids were monsters, suddenly they aren't?
All in all, I think there were a ton of things that just didn't get resolved, like, at all. Or further explained. This story had such potential, but then the ending, Raffe en Penrynn felt so rushed. Three books about not being with each other and suddenly: sure, it's fine, without questions, like: isn't Raffe a fallen now? Shouldn't he be sent to hell? Don't his friends have to go back to hell? Who made that call in the first place and why does suddenly no one care? Does God exists? Only question marks. Loved the story, but the ending was very very disappointing.

OKAY then.
I didn't realise until i started this review, but the books timeline (all three novels) is set potentially within a month or two. Mind blowing.
The Angel as the devil was so clever. Loved it. But I never got attached to the lead characters. I think its because the books kept telling me someone else was more important. Her sister was the saviour (so I started focusing on her). Beliel was broken and cruel so my heart went to him. The twins were fun but the dialogue was clipped and manic. Great for getting the sense of the character across, bad for reading ease.
Her mother was a genius but never got explained to my satisfaction.
the constant wing shuffle frustrated me... like why should it matter if perfection was important? The angels rampant murdering of gods creations should be a bigger issue than the physical perfections.

“Ironically, since the attacks, the sunsets have been glori-ous. Outside our condo window, the sky flames like a bruised mango in vivid orange, red, and purple. The clouds ignite with sunset colors, and I'm almost scared those of us caught below will catch on fire too.”
I loved Angelfall and World After. Very much. End of Days not quite as much, but I did preorder it, and I did wait rather impatiently for its release date. That might have raised my expectations to unreasonable heights. Had I read the series back-to-back I may have loved each book equally.. Maybe. Anyways, the story is awesome, one of my all-time favorites.

November 19, 2016This was a fast action filled read but I just don't get the current trend for wedding vast amounts of brutal violence with teenage girl/ancient and powerful being love stories. while I understand the appeal of both of those things separately, the older I get the more the second part squicks me...

I am currently kicking my own ass for not reading these books sooner. Why did I waited so long to read it? Ugh.. I don't know. i LOVED everything about this trilogy, the world, penny's adventure, their romance, Full of action,Suspense and angst. The author did an amazing job.
Absolutely Loved it.❤

4.6☆
Loved it! Angels, demons, apocalyptic action, survival and more of the things I just simply love a good read to go about, and a good one it was! Only downside for me was the young fmc and the resulting tame romance in the story.
Also a lot of questions remain unanswered and the ending of book 3 just beggs for more.
World: plays in the aftermath of angels comming to Earth -for reasons unknown- causing great natural disasters that almost completely exterminate humanity. Apocalyptic scenes, destroyed cities and a survival of the fittest mentality. Angels are the enemy and to be avoided at all costs. Demonic creatures turn up and angel politics seem to involve and destroy more than even the initial arrival caused.
Characters:
FMC: Penryn, 17 years young. Survivor and caretaker. Loyal, fierce and smart. All about taking care of her family (schizophrenic mom of meds and 7 year old debilitated sister in wheelchair). Learns about the world and both the good and dark side of ppl during this comming of age journey she sets off on in order to safe those dearest to her.
MMC: Raffy, wingles angel. Warrior, lonely, betrayed but still loyal toward his race. Develops some understanding of the human race through his travels with Penryn. Of course inhumanly handsome and a total wet dream.
Story: I love the adventure and traveling to this post apocalyptic world trying to survive and learning about how people adjusted/reacted to a new world order.
Penryn is trying to find her baby sister with the help of an enemy angel who's wings were cut off by the same angels who took her sister. They learn of a world where people try to survive by any means possible, where heroes are scarse and where demonic creatures seem to pop up all over the place. We find out about dirty angel politics and power plays. Experimentations run out of control and we get dragged to hell and back again.
The story flows smoothly and there are no dull moments. We discover the new world together with Penryn as she travels and fights for her own life and for those she cares about.
Romance: as you can guess some feelings develop between our traveling duo, but it is to tame for my taste. I would have prefered some hot and steamy action but that would only have worked if Penryn would have been a bit older. As it stands now I would describe it as a comming of age first love kind of thing with feelings but nothing really exciting happening.
All in all it was a great read but if you are more interested in the romance department I would not recommand this one for you. I'll be looking for books similar to this with a bit more mature aspects to the story myself.
Many many many questions remain unanswered and just beg for more. It only feels like one battle has been won but there is so much more that is about to happen! Bit annoying that there isn't a follow up on all the lost endings.
Enjoy reading ^^
Loved it! Angels, demons, apocalyptic action, survival and more of the things I just simply love a good read to go about, and a good one it was! Only downside for me was the young fmc and the resulting tame romance in the story.
Also a lot of questions remain unanswered and the ending of book 3 just beggs for more.
World: plays in the aftermath of angels comming to Earth -for reasons unknown- causing great natural disasters that almost completely exterminate humanity. Apocalyptic scenes, destroyed cities and a survival of the fittest mentality. Angels are the enemy and to be avoided at all costs. Demonic creatures turn up and angel politics seem to involve and destroy more than even the initial arrival caused.
Characters:
FMC: Penryn, 17 years young. Survivor and caretaker. Loyal, fierce and smart. All about taking care of her family (schizophrenic mom of meds and 7 year old debilitated sister in wheelchair). Learns about the world and both the good and dark side of ppl during this comming of age journey she sets off on in order to safe those dearest to her.
MMC: Raffy, wingles angel. Warrior, lonely, betrayed but still loyal toward his race. Develops some understanding of the human race through his travels with Penryn. Of course inhumanly handsome and a total wet dream.
Story: I love the adventure and traveling to this post apocalyptic world trying to survive and learning about how people adjusted/reacted to a new world order.
Penryn is trying to find her baby sister with the help of an enemy angel who's wings were cut off by the same angels who took her sister. They learn of a world where people try to survive by any means possible, where heroes are scarse and where demonic creatures seem to pop up all over the place. We find out about dirty angel politics and power plays. Experimentations run out of control and we get dragged to hell and back again.
The story flows smoothly and there are no dull moments. We discover the new world together with Penryn as she travels and fights for her own life and for those she cares about.
Romance: as you can guess some feelings develop between our traveling duo, but it is to tame for my taste. I would have prefered some hot and steamy action but that would only have worked if Penryn would have been a bit older. As it stands now I would describe it as a comming of age first love kind of thing with feelings but nothing really exciting happening.
All in all it was a great read but if you are more interested in the romance department I would not recommand this one for you. I'll be looking for books similar to this with a bit more mature aspects to the story myself.

Trylogia „Angelfall” to trylogia o losach ludzi po apokalipsie aniołów na ziemię. Muszę przyznać, że to pierwsza tego typu książka, jaką kiedykolwiek czytałam. Na szczęście bardzo pozytywnie się zaskoczyłam, bo nie spodziewałam się że aż tak mi się spodoba!
Przez to że historia ta ma trzy tomy, po kolei opowiem moje odczucia co do każdego.
Ale najpierw trochę ogólników. Styl pisania bardzo bardzo przyjemny, na tyle że przez książki wręcz się płynie. „Angelfall” to taka historia, od której nie da się oderwać.
Już od samego początku, mamy tutaj niesamowity dystopijny klimat. Jestem ogromną fanką panującego tutaj mroku, tajemnic oraz rzecz jasna świata postapokaliptycznego.
Jeśli chodzi o pierwszy tom, to od samego początku się wkręciłam, jednak brakowało mi szczegółów z samego początku apokalipsy i jak ona wyglądała, jednak to nie odebrało mi frajdy z czytania, bo strona za stroną, działo się tyle nowych rzeczy, że byłam tylko ciekawa co stanie się dalej.
Drugi tom, czyli Penryn i świat po, spodobał mi się najmniej, dlatego że do fabuły zostały wprowadzone inne istoty oprócz aniołów czyli „szarańczaki”. Są to mordercze stworzenia, które wysysają z innych życie. Nie spodobały mi się one dlatego, ponieważ liczyłam że cały czas skupimy się na aniołach, a w drugim tomie było ich bardzo mało i akcja kręciła się właśnie wokół szarańczaków.
Natomiast Penryn i kres dni to istne arcydzieło. Wszystko tu było perfekcyjne. Bardzo dużo się działo, mnóstwo aniołów i akcji z nimi, a relacja głównych bohaterów - OMG. Jestem jej ogromną fanką 😁
Mianowicie anioł, który dosłownie spadł z nieba, oraz dziewczyna, która w postapokaliptycznym świecie, próbuje ratować siebie i swoją rodzinę. Bohaterowie z zupełnie innych światów, jednak jak widać nawet to nie stanowi aż tak wielkiej bariery. Przez wszystkie tomy, ta chemia między nimi bardzo mi się podobała, jednak w 3 przewyższyła wszystko i wręcz skakałam z eksyctacji i radości podczas ich wspólnych momentów.
Rzecz o której też muszę wspomnieć, gdzie nie jestem w stanie stwierdzić czy mi się podobało. Mianowicie w wszystkich częściach znajdziemy mnóstwo, bardzo brutalnych opisów. Czasem gdy to czytałam miałam ochotę płakać, a nawet wymi0tować. Jednak myślę że to jest potwierdzenie, jak dużo ta historia wywołuje emocji.
Podsumowując, bardzo bardzo polecam! Dystopijny świat jest tutaj genialnie ukazany, znajdziecie tu mnóstwo akcji oraz emocji, które będą towarzyszyć wam przez cały czas. Ja naprawdę bardzo mocno przywiązałam się do bohaterów i ta trylogia to moje nowe imperium rzymskie, bo wiem że bardzo szybko nie wyjdzie mi z głowy.
