Angelfall by Susan Ee
Did not finish book.
DNF at around 40%
This story is about Penryn trying to retrieve her younger sister who was abducted by angels. But in order to get her, she has to seek the help of her enemy, an angel called Raffe.
Alright, the premise sounds really good. I was getting war flashbacks from Daughter of Smoke and Bone (which first half part made me terribly love it until the second half completely destroyed the whole series for me). And just like DOSAB, I wanted to love this book since it's so loved I want to join in on the fun. But I don't think YA is really for me at the moment.
I have this little prejudice against angels acting like they are humans. Angels are really other worldly beings and I think they don't really care how humans are. HAHAHA. I don't think they would want to dwell in our meager problems, seeing as they are so powerful and divine. The angels that I really like in current representation in books is probably Cassandra Clare's version, although there is a lack of it. I like her version because I agree that angels would not want to deal with humans in general. HAHA. I don't know if CC destroyed angels for me or strengthened my belief about them.
Anyway, I love how the main character is really strong and all that, but I don't think I'm in the mood for angels at the moment. And how was she able to kick some of their asses tho? I mean... are angels that weak? The plot is not something that I got into. Angels attacking earth is a good premise, but I think this book went in a direction that I was not interested in.
