True, their long separation means that we don’t get as much of their enjoyable banter but Susan Ee cleverly keeps the emotional connection strong. Penryn and Raffe’s emotional connection was one of the highlights of Angelfall and I was worried that World After would fall apart when the two of them were separated. When faced with recapturing his wings or helping Penryn survive, which will he choose?

Without them, he can’t rejoin the angels, can’t take his rightful place as one of their leaders. Why are the streets so empty? Where is everybody? Her search leads her into the heart of the angels’ secret plans where she catches a glimpse of their motivations, and learns the horrifying extent to which the angels are willing to go. Penryn drives through the streets of San Francisco looking for Paige. When a group of people capture Penryn’s sister, Paige, thinking she’s a monster, the situation ends in a massacre. The survivors of the angel apocalypse begin to scrape back together what’s left of the modern world.
