This review is spoiler free!!
My rating: 4/5 stars
I've been avoiding this one for a while because I thought the angel thing would annoy me. I'm not a Christian and I just don't like angel stories. I dislike angel stories so much that I actually stopped watching Supernatural when all the angel stuff started happening! (don't worry - I started back up again!!) But this doesn't hit you over the head with religion. Actually, Raffe, an angel, admits to being agnostic.
This novel is essentially a typical YA post-apocalyptic survival novel. Girl's sister gets taken and she has to navigate her new post-apoc reality to get her back, with the help of a hot guy who may be good or evil. It's pretty standard, but it's a standard I like, so I'm cool with it!
As fantasy novels go, Angelfall is in the top echelon. It's exciting and full of action, and the main characters are decently developed. The story is suspenseful, with enough humor and romance to keep the reader entranced. At least for me, suspense+humor+romance = excellent entertainment.
