World After

World After by Susan Ee was a good sequel. The second book was a lot more focused on the fighting aspect than the relationship between Raffe and Penryn. Raffe still thinks that she is dead and he is going around fighting a lot of demons.

The war seems to be more of a fight between the angels and the demons in this book than with the humans. The humans seem to be useful toward the demons and turning them into monsters and their own personal slaves... just like Paige. It was sad seeing Paige as a monster and reading about her needing flesh from humans to survive.

[ MAY CONTAIN SPOILERS ]

Penryn and her family end up together in the beginning of the book but then get separated again. She spends her time going around trying to save her mother and sister. It was depressing that 2/3 into the book; Penryn and Raffe have still not found each other. They are finally reunited far into the book and Raffe seems to be really happy she is alive. You can tell away from her that he wants her but once they're together, he seems put off. I wish the book was full more of their relationship and friendship.

Overall, it was a good book. If you like the war aspect more than relationships then this is a good read. I still want to know what happens so I will most likely be picking up the 3rd book later this year... then the rest.
