Summary
"It's been six weeks since angels of the apocalypse descended to demolish the modern world. Street gangs rule the day while fear and superstition rule the night. When warrior angels fly away with a helpless little girl, her seventeen-year-old sister Penryn will do anything to get her back.
Anything, including making a deal with an enemy angel.
Raffe is a warrior who lies broken and wingless on the
street. After eons of fighting his own battles, he finds himself being rescued
from a desperate situation by a half-starved teenage girl.
Traveling through a dark and twisted Northern California,
they have only each other to rely on for survival. Together, they journey
toward the angels' stronghold in San Francisco where she'll risk everything to
rescue her sister and he'll put himself at the mercy of his greatest enemies
for the chance to be made whole again."
Review
I really really enjoyed this story. It is unlike many other dystopian young adult novels, in that it has the supernatural angels and demons. This story is very well-written and you are almost immediately drawn into the world by Penryn, the main heroine. Susan Ee writes very clear descriptions, which make the story easy to visualize. The story is very unique and I cannot wait until the next book is released, though I have to wait over a year!
