"It is painful to see that people prefer a bad guy who looks like an angel to a good guy who looks like a demon."
"Sometimes, as we're stumbling along in the dark, we hit something good."
I stayed up late last night, but made myself stop doomscrolling and instead read. So I finished this book. It was a fever dream of a book and a perfect escape for the moment. It takes place in a city over centuries as a demon and angel rebuild the city the angel helped destroy. Very beautifully written. Harsh at times, but beautiful.

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.

"No one loves a city like one born to it, and no one loves a city like an immigrant. No one loves a city like they do when they are young, and no one loves a city like they do when they are old."
"Vitrine loved her city like demons and cats may love things, with an eye towards ownership and the threat of small mayhem."
