REVIEWS :This is me right now waiting for this sure-to-be-amazing book with a lot of my Goodreads friends:I mean, come on! The first book was freaking amazing, and that last chapter.........that last freaking chapter. Damn. Can you all imagine what the second book is going to be like if the whole book is like that last chapter? Just think about it. I'd like to present you guys with.......... The Opening of the Second Book of Angelfall: A Tragic gif Play! Caitlin is walking down the road one day 4 POOKY BEAR STARS!It was quite a good read.But I didn't enjoy this one as much as I did the first book.The beginning was boring and there were some moments that I wanted to put the book down and start another one.The story moved so slowly and it just didn't work out for me.But the other half of the book was quite interesting,not as good as the first book but there were some moments that I quite enjoyed.Also there was a funny moment that I couldn't stop laughing for an hour.That was my favorite *SPOILER-FREE*Picture this: the world ends, and you’re left with a schizophrenic mother who’s fallen off the deep end and a kid sister that looks like an autopsy victim with razor-blade teeth. The humans around you are half-convinced that you’re hellspawn due to an unfortunate rising-from-the-dead incident, your one non-familial ally now looks like a creature from your nightmares, and since he also thinks that you’re actually dead, he’s abandoned you. Now you’re being carted off to I was rather disappointed with this sequel because I didn’t find it as exciting an action packed as Angelfall. This may have something to do with Raffe and Penryn not being very exciting apart from each other, because for the first half of the book, I struggled to stay interested. On the positive side, the second half does pick up after Penryn and Raffe reunites and the horror aspect that we saw at the end of Angelfall really starts to shine through. I’m curious to see where this series is YES.Yes.That's all. *no spoilers* Was that you, Pooky Bear? There are a lot of themes of good vs. bad, the nature of evil, the length of which man will go to survive. As far as I'm concerned, the only message in this book that mattered is: you do NOT fuck with my sister, because I will hunt you down and I will make you pay. I understand it, and I admire Penryn for it.I have a baby sister, I love her. We are the same age apart as Penryn and Paige....aaaand some years after.It hasn't always been smooth sailing, but Finish writing this book, damnit!...then give it me! Give it me! 4.5 starsI AM EXCITE. 3.5 starsWorld After ticks a lot of boxes but it simply isn't as strong a story as we were given in Angelfall. I don't know how many books are planned for this series but it seems to fall prey to what would be called "middle book syndrome" in a trilogy. The story plods along, giving the novel a weighted feel which made it easy to put aside at times (something that could never be said for the previous book). My rating leans towards the positive because I did enjoy this sequel - Ee has a talent Scroll down for my full review.My initial thoughts on 9/18/13:On Friday, when I got my ARC of World After: Also, because Amazon actually sent me an ARC!!!: Friday night when I got home and sat down to crack this baby open: When my family wanted to go out to dinner, then shopping, then a million other things that weren't reading: All weekend, when my family had other plans for my precious reading time: Then on Sunday when I finally got to start reading: As I was reading: When Raffe (view First of all, I think my hubby needs a pair of those angel wings. Angelplay could be fun, right? LOL Second of all, this shit is great!After reading this I know that angels are NOT after human pussy after all. They are actually all waiting for the judgement day! Woo-hoo! That clears things up. And there are a lot of scorpion-looking flying weird thingies. And they fight with angels too. Like, wrestling and stuff. Kinda.Scorpions sometimes wed too and wear wedding rings. They also might or might HALLE-MOTHERCUKING-LUJAH!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! A COVER (sorta) AND RELEASE DATE! FINALLY!************************************ past updates************************************I've been a patient reader, I know writing sequels takes time butWhen is this book coming out?????No official publication dateNo SummaryNot even book title!>.< !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!Please Susane Ee! end my suffering! I want to read the sequel :((*sigh*well... back to being patient. “It’s amazing how many times we need to go against our survival instincts to survive.” WARNING: There will probably be spoilers for the first book (Angelfall) in this review. I read the first book of this series about three years ago. I had my doubts about it, since it looked like some typical dystopian/paranormal romance, but a lot of reviewers were saying it had far exceeded their expectations, so I gave it a try.And I was pleasantly surprised! Angelfall turned out to be a dark and So excited to read this AGAIN in April 27 2015.Buddy Reading with Cathryn, Danae, Ashley, Angela, Tanya, Catherine, Sarah, Navessa, Brigid, Shandra, Ya, Andrea, Mindy, Maria, Annette, Kristen, Lea, Sara, Athena (Shardbearer), Brandi, Nicholas, Michelle, Tandie, Jenny, Amanda, Gavin, Armina and Shelly at Buddies Books and BaublesReread April 27:Darker than I remember and I loved it.
