World After (Penryn & the End of Days #2)

 

 

This was one epic sequel! It picks up right where Angelfall left off and continues with a very fast paced, action-packed, scary and very suspenseful story. Although it has a lot less romance to it, this book answers many lingering questions from the first one. Such as \”why the angel apocalypse?\”. I loved that the author showed us more of Penryn\’s sister and mother. Not to mention all the wonderful Pooky Bear moments! It really added an important layer to the overall story. And that ending! Just wow! The wait for book 3 is going to be a long one. 5 stars!

4.5 stars — Wow. I’m just having a good old time listening to this series. I seriously had a hard time putting it down. I ended up just laying on the couch listening to it because I desperately wanted to know what was going to happen, and that’s just a sign of a perfect match for me, you know? Seriously yo, this book is the result of an f’d up imagination. I can’t believe how much I truly hate angels. UGH! I mean, I get that they are a completely different race, and just see things differently, but it’s sooooo annoying listening to the way they completely disregard the human race. And you know what’s annoying about that? It makes sense from their perspective. Why wouldn’t they resent us and regard us as nothing more than “monkeys.” Well done Ms. Ee. I felt so much in this book, and a lot of it was hatred and disgust. I also get that it’s not all angels, but that they are being manipulated by Uriel. And holy crapballs, my eyebrows went all the way up to my hairline when we started discovering the lengths of his machinations. It just made me more and more intrigued about where things are going to go!! AAHHHHH!!! I need to know! I’m so worried! I also really appreciated all the different glimpses of the bad sides of humanity we are seeing in this series. And I believe it…I understand the choices that so many of them are making in their struggle to survive. But my heart also breaks. I even cried over Paige, and over Penryn’s struggle with new Paige. I got it…I totally got it…but wow. And while I’m LOVING this bizarre heartbreaking world, it’s the characters that keep me clamouring for more. I love Penryn. I love her down to her snarky little heart. I even love her bits of whimsy and her crush on Raffe. I mean, this girl. The scene at the banquet where she fights with the steak knife, and the conversations she has afterwards just warmed my sassy heart. I love all the little side characters too. I can’t tell you how much Dee and Dum made me laugh. They are just priceless. I thought Clara was an interesting addition and gave us other little glimpses. I loved what little we saw of Raffe. I loved Paige…oh Paige. I even loved Pookey Bear!! OMG did I laugh about that. Plus the memory stuff was super intriguing!! As for the narration, I’m still loving Ms. Davies delivery. She conveys so much emotion, has great unique voices…it’s just consistent with everything I loved from her narration of Angelfall. Can’t wait to hear her narrate the last book. I’m scurr my friends. I fear the end of this series. I hope I’m less picky than many of my friends and still love it.

One of my favorite series! And I absolutely love the narrator! It’s a slow burn forbidden romance but that only plays a small part. In reality this is an action pact post apocalyptic book with lovable characters!

This volume was very interesting and did a good job of holding my attention. I was disappointed that there was not as much of the Raffie character as in the first book. But more time is spent with Penryn and her family, her relationship with them and with the survival camp. There is new information and there is also hope. This volume did not meet up to my expectations but it did not disappoint me completely. It was good enough to keep me reading 2 hours past my cut-off time so that I can start the next audiobook in the series.

I\’m really enjoying this series, but this 2nd installment got a little slow without one of the main characters for most of the entire book. I feel the characters are paired as a team and as such, the story isn\’t quite as intriguing with one of them missing. It\’s still an excellent story, however, and the narration by Davies makes it that much more enjoyable.
