Wow. alsdmalsdnashfnjaldlasdk 
 That one-word simply can't explain the feelings I have after reading this novel, hence the keyboard onslaught that follows after. I ABSOLUTELY LOVED RAFFE EVERY WORD OF THIS BOOK!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! 
 I've ALWAYS loved post-apocalyptic settings but that genre simply downgraded for me ever since I read The Hunger Games series. I mean, what could beat that? I've tried reading several books of the same kind after it, I won't even name them because they're all just a blur to me now, but each one just felt like a cheap knock-off of something great. Weak characters, inconsistent plots, abysmal world-building. You know the kind. So I just gave up and went back to my roots, which is ol' fashion YA books of the John Green-esque kind. Until recently. I just felt like reading fantasy/post-apocalyptic books again. BUT I've carefully avoided the angel and fairy genre. I just can't. I simply DO NOT like Fallen, Hush Husg, Delirium, Shiverthat genre. But my friend urged me to read Unearthly, I saw the glowing reviews, and it was actually pretty great. 
 BUT NOTHING COMPARED TO THIS ONE. 
 Angelfall is just pure, unadulterated amazingness. The world is so terrifying that I constantly found myself staring at the sky and waiting for winged-creatures to fly. I expected to come out of the house and find body parts on our yard. The whole adventure was so heart-thumping and there never was a dull moment. I was constantly frustrated by the unfair situations that Penryn and the oh-so-hot Raffe often found themselves into. The presentation of the World After and the tiny bits of information that gave us enough details to compare it to the World Before was truly mesmerizing. And the fight scenes were truly well-done! The angels' characterization is also very unique but sticks true to the original mythology. Their infiltration of this world is very intriguing. Ms.Ee didn't shy away from the details, from the filth, from the reality of what is happening in Penryn's world. I think that is one of the things that I really liked about Ms. Ee's book. I just can't gush enough about this world!!!!!!!!!alsndandasdn 
 And I haven't even started with the characters. The main character, Penryn, is one of the best heroine's in recent YA fiction. She's street smart, tough as nails, witty as hell, and she doesn't think about boys every second of the day. And she can sure as hell survive! Her experiences toughened her and her reactions to the things happening around her are very realistic. Her fleeting thoughts of abandoning her mother, her sister, and even her hotness incarnate ally, are a far cry from the saintly thoughts of other heroines. No one's saintly when faced with death. Despite these thoughts, it's still her sense of loyalty that wins in her internal struggle. (view spoiler)[Even Raffe said that, right? (hide spoiler)] Penryn is someone who is flawed, yet still comes out as one of the best characters out there. 
 Moving on to another main character, RAFFE. Wow. I don't even know what to say. He is simply perfect for me. I mean, not too perfect because he is also very flawed. But his imperfections made him perfect, y'know? He seemed very human to me, yet at the same time he was also very supernatural because of his perfectness and strength. He was also very funny!! His cocky attitude, especially in the beginning, produced some great laugh-out-loud dialogue. (The over-all dialogue in this books is actually pretty amazing. Even simple narration is funny!)His interactions with Penryn were so charming and funny! And no insta-love connection found here. I ABSOLUTELY HATE THAT and thank-goodness the romance in here is slow-brewing and the pacing is so realistic. Slowly, but surely. You can truly see the development of their relationship, from getting to know each other to protecting each other. They were there for each even when they didn't even fully trust one another. And no sappy dialogue found here either. Even without it, you can still feel their budding romance and the readers are left wanting for more. 
 There were great supporting characters too. The mother, with her condition, was very entertaining and complex.Her actions gave us an insight on Penryn and her sister's childhood. Other allies that Raffe and Penryn found on their way to the aerie were also very intriguing and I hope that they'll still be present in the sequels. 
 Over-all, this book is one of the best YA books out there! It truly captivated me. It is a drop-everything-else, no-sleep, no-eating, grip-the-edge-of-your-seats type of book that I recommend to anyone who just wants to escape our reality for a while and enter a new fascinating world.
