I really enjoyed Angelfall and I think it was a great start for the trilogy. It is considered a YA dystopian and as you can guess involves angels. There was a lot of ground to cover getting the characters and plots set up so it's a fast paced book. Angelfall is set around a teen girl named Penryn that's only current mission is to save her little sister from the bad guys.

Whoa. This was so good!!! Disturbing at the end for sure, but such a great read. A dystopian, post-apocalyptic world terrorized by angels. I should not of put off reading this. It's been one of my kindle unlimited books that that I've marked to read for a long time and kept passing over. I don't recommend the audio version. I switched over to try it out, and immediately switched back to reading.
A quick one day fast-paced read! ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐
I loved Raffe & Penryn, it's always awesome when characters are likable. I also liked how Penryn had quite rough past and life with her family wasn't easy. I really loved their chemistry & banter.
Unbelievable but I loved the atmosphere even more! It was everything I could have imagined and a bit more. It was horrid, a bit gore, dangerous, creepy, dark!
This was really intriguing adventure, even though I hated how the ending left so much open.

I re-read this book and I still absolutely love it!
For the year 2011 I selected this title for the 40 year reading challenge. I‘ve gotta say it was good but not amazing. ⭐️⭐️⭐️. Not sure why I didn‘t fully connect with this one. Oh well if you want an apocalyptic read this one is for you! #19822022 @Librarybelle

I found this book slightly bonkers and more graphic then I thought it would be at times. But I loved a dystopian where the end of the world event just happened rather than so long ago that no one remembers anything. It was nice to learn along with the main character what was going on. Also it felt like the YA angst was at a minimum, and the world building just starting so I‘ll definitely read the rest of the series.
Loving the banter and sarcasm between Penryn and Raffe!
This was so good, I've just ordered the rest of the series! It was a bit slow going at first but then it suddenly picked up the pace, the chactuers were really cool and there was a lot of world building. Overall I really enjoyed this book, especially the slow burn romance!

So I bailed on this book already. I might give it another try in the future.
Just started this audiobook
Reading while the dogs snore away. 🐶🐶♥️
First of all, I'm mad at the mcs not acting like adults. I'm done. (Still a good book tho 😭)

Still behind on #winterwonderland..... These are the only books I have to hand featuring an #angel
Enjoyable YA.... Reminds me I wanted to finish the series.....

This is me when im quiet...
Yeah, this book was not great. It started out really good and interesting ... and went entirely downhill from there. File under “baffled by the hype.”
A little more than halfway through and this book is so MEH. I wish the protagonist had an actual personality. I‘ll finish it but it will take a lot to get me to give it s more than MEH rating. We shall see.
Found out about this book a while ago but my country didn't have a single copy ugh. Finally, at Thailand now; enjoying the new smell of a new thing: ANGELFALL by SUSAN EE

So like, idk why I put book pages on my face... art?? 😅😅

Side note, I absolutely love the Angefall series!! The first book was my favourite but the last two kept up the action and fulfilled my angel craving immensely! This series doesn‘t get enough hype as it should. Have you read it? What did you think?
Yay!! I got these amazing gifts from my croatian Litsy friend @Ninna 😍😍
Thank you. I love fantasy and I haven't read these one yet. ❤❤

The angels from above take over Earth in this dystopian book #1. 17 year old Penryn travels with an Angel who‘s wings were cut off by angels in an angel fight. As I write this I know this sounds weird but I really liked this book and will read the other 2 in the trilogy. #Angelfight!
Really enjoyed this book! Sometimes the writing was a bit confusing, but the story is compelling and the last few chapters of the book escalated so fast! I can't wait to read the next one.
Yesss!!!! This book!! It is absolutely amazing!!! I have to go find the other two books in the series!! It‘s got angels, romance (kinda not really😂😂), demons, battles. To be honest, I didn‘t expect to love this book as much as I did!❤️
I am very surprised that I am loving this book as much as I am!! 40% through!!
This months book for my local book club! Let‘s see if I like it! #bookclub
All in all, I stand by my initial review. Penryn/Raffe are intriguing characters, & I enjoyed their relationship. Angel politics is fascinating, but we don‘t get to that until the last third of the book! Too much time is wasted on the characters trekking through deserted California. We don‘t need an account of every sigh & leaf crunch, y‘know? Still, this is a really promising start to a fun fantasy/dystopian adventure. ★★★☆☆.
Lol yeah, ok, I‘m not calling you that. Like, ever.
#currentlyrereading | picking this up again after five years! We‘ll see how it goes.
I really loved this book! It kept me interested from the first sentence to the last. I love the main character, Penryn (love that name!!). She is tough, independent, smart. A great main character. I‘m excited to see what develops between her and Raffe. On to the 2nd book! I hope the amazingness continues in the series.
Another book I downloaded from the Kindle Unlimited group. And another one I‘m enjoying so far! Really, really enjoying I should say, actually.
This book was crazy!! I must get my hand on the next ones pronto. That will mean a trip to the bookstore oh no😮😝
Read this beauty years ago and loved it soooo much! Even though I own all of the three books in the trilogy I haven't continued reading the rest yet! 😅
Switching gears back to fantasy. Angels! Can't wait to check this one out. #audiobook #ya #yalit #yafantasy #fantasy
Just finished Angelfall. The storyline was unique and I loved the characters. I was definitely not anticipating the plot twist in the end and was overall surprised by how the book ended. Cannot wait to get my hands on the next two books.

I'm pretty split on this. Part of me wants the rest of the series RIGHT NOW and part of me feels disappointed by the main character.
“I never kid about my warrior demigod status."
"Oh. My. God." I lower my voice, having forgotten to whisper. "You are nothing but a bird with an attitude. Okay, so you have a few muscles, I‘ll grant you that. But you know, a bird is nothing but a barely evolved lizard. That‘s what you are.”
