Penryn's characterization was definitely my favorite part of Angelfall (not Raffe, I know crazy of me), so I look forward to seeing her be further developed in this one. Although seeing more of Raffe isn't a bad thing by any means. :)Amandahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03052456915027241479noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1019785638850450889.post-75568749596473801572013-11-17T12:48:39.966+00:002013-11-17T12:48:39.966+00:00I think pretty much everyone didn't love this ...I think pretty much everyone didn't love this quite as much as Angelfall because of the lack of Raffe but I actually really appreciated getting to know Penryn's family more and only anticipated that reunion between Penryn and Raffe even more! I think this series has definitely become my favourite angel series and I hope the rest of the books continue to live up to the same standard!Jesshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02384805896552240183noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1019785638850450889.post-73786782269049934472013-11-16T16:58:18.334+00:002013-11-16T16:58:18.334+00:00Great review, Jasprit.

But you're right, this gave us a chance to get to know Penryn better. She became much less calculating, and more human to me in this book, which I love.
