A review by cm_kayla
End of Days, by Susan Ee
3.0
Pretty much if you read all the other 2-3 star reviews of this book down below, that's my whole feeling on the series. It wasn't horribly written, the characters are okay, the idea and storyline is decent, but this book had no snap to it.
The first part was really awkward with Penryn being all up in Raffe's business and her random rambles about him touching her, like I was just laughing. He was asleep and then he wasn't and was like "oh my god no" and leaves. None of it really made sense. Her mom suddenly becomes this insanely cool leader and finally protects her kids. I felt like Paige wasn't really a huge part of the story half the time besides her strange locust leader problems.
It was strange to see Beliel be the gateway to hell, like these things coming out of his back, there wasn't a reason for it, I couldn't picture it. About 3/4 of the way through I basically stopped paying attention and skimmed pages. The ending was just meh, nothing really happened and the relationship between Raffe and Penryn was barely there. What was the point?
Overall I really like the first book and half of World After but the conclusion was blah.
