World After is the second book in Penryn and End of Days series. It was a good book but it was not as good as Angelfall. The beginning of the book was a little disjointed with Angelfall. In Angelfall the story is centered on Angel race and Angel Apocalypse. We are introduced to angel rivalry, angel politics and agnostic angels. I was expecting the second book to expand on that. And therefore I was a little disappointed that the first part of the World After read more like a Frankenstein story and less like an Angel Apocalypse. The two story lines only merged and became integral at the end of the second book. The "Frankenstein" part was my least favorite story line. I wish author developed and expanded on the angel mythology and angel politics rather then focusing so much on the "frankenstein" monsters. I did like all the characters. Peryn is strong, brave and independent heroine . She and Raffe have a great chemistry and I liked their banter and Raffe's sense of humor. This book has a lot of great and colorful secondary characters too. We have Peryn's stitched-up, sharp toothed sister Paige, their schizophrenic mother, resistance fighters Obi and Dee-Dum. The author even managed to make angel's sword into an interesting character. This was a good read overall and I am looking forward to the conclusion of the series
