I finished this book feeling like ... And that's it..?

What I like about this series -
Fast-paced, sometimes fun read.
Paige and Penryn's mom! They were very complex characters. Both very flawed but also determined, strong and absolutely amazing people.
I didn't like Penryn's behavior toward her little sister, especially in the second book. I loved Penryn in the first one, but was somewhat disappointed with her in the last two books.



End of Days was lacking any emotional, strong or 'epic' scenes for me, especially after awesomeness that was Angelfall.
The ending was rushed and I just expected something more from this series after so many great reviews.
This book left me speechless and not in the good way.

3.5 stars

Good book, decent end to the trilogy. I think things got wrapped up a little too quickly at the end. It seemed a teeeeeensy bit contrived. I also didn't like how the romance between Penryn and Raffe became so much of a focal point past the first book. I didn't really have a problem with the romance itself--I felt that it was a decent romance and based on actual believable personality compatibility rather than just OMG HOT ANGEL FALLS FOR FRAIL HUMAN like I was expecting at first. However, I think it did move too quickly--I realized that the series takes place over only a week or so, which made it a little harder to believe that this True Love (TM) was actually true or love. And as I said, I didn't like how it became such a huge part of the plot. The first book handled the romance aspect the best, in my opinion. It was there, and Penryn and Raffe thought about it now and then, but they both had more important shit to worry about. I would have liked if that had stuck around a little longer.

I also liked learning the history of Beliel and the Watchers. I think it was developed fairly well considering it was all in the last book and none of these books are all that long. The final battle at the end was interestingly done and I really liked that. Kinda wish it had gone on longer/been more variance in what the focus was. I also think that the resolution was kinda cobbled together post-battle. I mean, everything wrapped up in like 20 pages. It was rushed and didn't make too much sense, really. So yeah, not a stellar ending to the book itself, but the book as a whole did a decent job of ending the series arc. Penryn's story is finished and that's what we were focusing on, so I guess in that respect the end was alright. Just kinda underwhelming otherwise, though.

WHAT DO YOU MEAN HE GAVE UP HIS WINGS FOR HER

Esta trilogía es increíble por donde la veas.
Me faltó un epílogo mejor.

Yay! I was so excited for this book. Like the other books in the series, it isn't perfect but it's damn good fun and once I picked it up, it was hard to put it down. Sad to see the series come to an end but loved the way it ended. I look forward to re-reading this series again one day.

Edited review



3 or like 2,5 star, for now... This series's ending is the first ending that really disappointed me ever. Hope (Divergent) Allegiant have a better ending.
I think i've learned one important thing about writing, from this series/book. (Especially from this book) The importance of Good pacing, this book is too action packed, everything goes too fast, the reader needs time to breathe, to enjoy the action moments, and i'm pretty sure that the character need to eat, to drink, to sleep before fighting and fighting again and again

The two major things that annoyed me:
2.THE lack of originality. Maybe, it's just me. I may be too obsessed with [b:Blood Red Road|9917938|Blood Red Road (Dust Lands, #1)|Moira Young|https://images.gr-assets.com/books/1293651959s/9917938.jpg|14692536] but I think this book has some identical scenes and ideas with BRR.

For example:
1 .Saba is sequestered and forced to fight for her life in the front of people.
Almost the same thing happened to Penryn, the only difference is that Saba Fights alone and Penryn have some help.

2. Penryn finds a wasteland place, Saba lives in a wasteland.
3. The BRR Saba meets gigantic worms, Penryn finds small worms in the sand.
4. In this book Penryn have a price on her head. In [b:Rebel Heart|13042154|Rebel Heart (Dust Lands, #2)|Moira Young|https://images.gr-assets.com/books/1326311073s/13042154.jpg|18206269] Saba have a price on her head too.

And finally the next thing that annoyed me the most was: The Romance and the heroine.
Do you remember the independent woman that Penryn was in the previous books? She was a completely badass lady that hated angels. She didn't needed a man. Ok, now forget that badass lady, cause in this book we have a new Penryn, which is desperate to have sex with the hot archangel RAFFEE. And the last chapter, that very last chapter full of romance. Yuck. That chapter ruined the book for me and maybe even the entire trilogy. I regret because i didn't skipped that chapter...




In my personal opinion this trilogy didn't needed a romance at all.

I enjoyed the epilogue.

There is one thing I love the most about the trilogy: The complexity: This books don't focus only on the angels apocalypse idea. In the all three books happen a lot of things. This series is not ony part of the science fiction/post apocalyptic genre, is also a horror, a thriller, a adventure, a comedy, and a drama series in the same time.
Anyway I think this is a good trilogy that worth the read if you like science fiction and post apocalyptic novels and if you are ok with the Romance between a human and an angel. My favorite book from this trilogy is still [b:World After|17849112|World After (Penryn & the End of Days, #2)|Susan Ee|https://images.gr-assets.com/books/1423238855s/17849112.jpg|18142457]

Best one in the trilogy, the ending was just so PERFECT! Argh, I love it so much. Not what I expected, so happy I've finally finished this series this month. It was just amazing and action packed

SO MUCH LOVE!!!!!

I wish this wasn't the last of this unique and thrilling tale!!!

this was overall a fun ya series - my issues with it are likely more from my perspective as an adult reader, but I enjoyed it on the whole
