If turn your brain off, and just go along with it, this will be a non-stop breathtaking adventure. 
 The first time I finished this too-short book, I was astonished by how much Susan Ee managed to accomplish in just 255 pages. 
 Unlike my experience with other paranormal romance books, I was truly engrossed with Susan Ee's post-apocalyptic world and the main character's exploits without just waiting for the sex to come. This is probably the only time when i dread the two ever getting together. (view spoiler)[Because of the nephilim (hide spoiler)] 
 Susan Ee hit jackpot in imagining an Angel society complete with its own religious issues and politics. That (view spoiler)[ Raffe's religious beliefs (hide spoiler)] was some major curveball that elevated this story far above other PNR peers for me. 
 However, after taking a while to think about the story, I do realize that its not as perfect as I first perceived it to be. Two major problems nagged at me: 
 As much as I wanted to believe in the fairy tale notion of our two main characters falling in love, the fact that one is an eternal archangel and another is a 17 year old girl just kept nagging at me. 
 The events of the book lasted over just 3/4 days, how is that a realistic timeline for Raffe to develop such deep feelings for Penryn? 
 Although it was mentioned that the Angels used meteor showers and earthquakes to destroy the world, the angels themselves did not seem to possess any special powers besides superhuman strength, rapid healing and the ability to fly. It now seemed implausible how the sword-wielding angels managed to conquer the world especially when they were so easily gunned down in the final scene of the book. 
 That said, these are not crippling problems that will distract readers from the main action. I hope that Susan Ee will be able to address these issues in the subsequent books (provided they do get published). 
 It has been a full year since Angelfall was published, with no word that the 2nd book will be published anytime soon. My guess is some major publishing house is in negotiations to buy the rights to the book and bring it mainstream. This is probably one of the most successful indie books in recent times
