I LOVED the first 2 books, but unfortunatly this book just fell flat for me. There was such a rise to the battle and then it was over in a blink of an eye it seemed. There were a few parts I actually really did enjoy, but most of the book I thought was just okay. The world building she had so heavily in her first 2 book and in this one it just fell flat. Overall, it was kind of a disappointing end to the series, but most of the ends are tied up.

I love you Susan Ee. I will forever ship Raffe and Penryn. Sigh. ❤❤❤❤❤❤

5/5. Increíble final para esta trilogía. Se nos muestra a una Penryn mucho más fuerte de la que todo el mundo debería aprender de ella. En serio, no me voy a cansar nunca de leer estas novelas. Broche de oro para esta magnífica y original historia de ángeles.

PERO SUSAN EE, POR DIOS, AUN ASÍ ME HAS HECHO AMAR TANTO LA HISTORIA QUE NECESITO MÁS PARA SEGUIR VIVIENDO.

Now that is how you end a trilogy! Recently a lot of fantastic trilogies have ended with slightly disappointing books but his one did not disappoint at all. I felt that we got full closure and I was completely satisfied with the end. (however I wouldn't mind if Susan carried on writing to the fifth book like was originally planned...) I absolutely love these books and am absolutely devastated to see them come to an end.

This was a good ending to a good series, I don't think I liked it as much as some people, but it still was very inventive. I really enjoyed how all the politics worked out, the way they handled their election, maybe we should do that! I also like how even crazy mom played a very significant role and everything., Especially in the end. This book really was all about the end, very creative, I honestly had no idea where they were going with this talent show, but it was quite ingenious. The message of this book was if we work together we can pretty much accomplished anything, and I guess for the most part that is always true. Although I don't know if I want the hope of humanity to be in the hands of a 17-year-old girl, with a sward named Pookie bear!

AMAZING!! Started it, couldn't stop, kept going, finished it in three hours. An exciting, fast paced, action packed ending to an all time favorite series!!!

Esas cuatro estrellas son más que todo un 3.7

It begins right where World After left off—Raffe with Penryn in his arms, flying, and Paige sitting on Beliel's body which is being carried by scorpion-tailed locusts. While Word After left me disappointed, I'm not gonna lie so did this. While WA was good for the last 30%, this whole book was a mix of really good/really disappointing.

The character development in this book is very profound. Penryn has always been an independent and strong female character, but in this final installment, Susan Ee takes her badass quality to a whole new level. Raffe, on the other hand, has always been a fierce believer but in this book, the battle between his responsibilities and his heart gets tougher. He's not just an archangel; he's a warrior. The story, pacing, and my overall excitement gives this book 3 stars. However, there were many disappointing scenes.

The romance in this series has always been subtle yet powerful. I really enjoyed their relationship because of their intense chemistry, but at some parts, I was disappointed. Especially when they're lying in bed together, it turned a bit too desperate for me. She moved his hand so it would be on her nipple?????? I didn't find it at all sexy or steamy but slightly creeped out at Penryn's actions and Raffes response.
 
Penryn used to be smart but lost most of it as the story progressed. She let herself be manipulated and used for the most pathetic of reasons. She was seriously a TSTL character with Beliel, she knew he was manipulative, but she still let herself be tricked by him, all so she could spy on more of Raffe's memories. Her actions probably resulted in the deaths of dozens of humans, those hellions she released must have killed a few people when they escaped, but that thought never crossed her mind.
 
Also, why was Paige the chosen one when it came to the locusts? How could she control them? Where did that power and ability to come from? Did Doc engineer it that way? If so, how? And why Paige? I felt like it was only put in to have that whole dramatic moment where Penryn was told her sister would be their saviour.
 
That one page where Layla comes back on her side was way too convenient. One minute she was happy with being evil and then she turns back around to coincide with Raffe and Penryn needing help. I felt like a better ending would have been Raffe returning back to heaven, taking all the angels with him, as he initially promised with Penryn.

Overall, an unsatisfying ending to what could have been a decent series.

This has to be my personal record of completing a series in shortest time. I just couldn't sit still until I had read the entire thing. This has been such an exciting experience and an amazing finale to amazing series.

Like all previous books, End of Days is extremely fast paced and doesn't let you breath for more than 5 minutes. Non stop action and twists kept me hooked up throughout. Loved it. Didn't receive 5 stars because it didn't blow me away. But still it was really really good.
