Angelfall 37/8/2023 ![]() ![]() The relationship between between Penryn and the wingless angel Raffe is at the heart of the novel. ![]() Now, I know what some of you are thinking of, this is a Suzanne Collins, L.A. Caught between a rock and hard place, in a war she doesn’t understand, she witnesses the barbarous stripping of an angel’s wings, she makes the decision to intervene to help the angel, and in doing so she antagonizes the angels to the extent to where she is forced to watch, hopelessly, her sister being taken. But her mother is what I can only affectionately describe as a mad-hatter and her younger sister is wheel chair bound. The novel follows Penryn, a 17 year old trying to help her frayed family survive in a post-apocalyptic California. Angel’s aren’t all their cracked up to be in Susan Ee’s debut novel. This ephemeral thing however is not a symbol of hope, but one of dread and despair. In the beginning, it starts with a single feather drifting slowly down from the sky. It’s been in numerous magazines as “The One to watch” or “The Next Big Thing.” It’s been advertised on Facebook and Twitter, the amount of 5 star reviews is astounding… this was a book I just had to check this out for myself. If you haven’t heard of Angelfall by now, may I seriously ask where have you been? Even if like me, before I picked this up and started reading this, you have no inkling what this book is about you must have heard about it. ![]()
