[reread because I was missing Penryn and Raffe something fierce]
Honestly, looking back at what I wrote about this book when I first read it back in 2015, I'm having a hard time coming up with anything more to add to how Past Me felt about concluding the series because Present Me feels pretty much the same way.
This series is one of the most fun, strange, and original series I've ever read, especially when you take into consideration that the first book was written at a time when YA about angels was way oversaturated already and this book came out three years after that and it still manages to be completely its own thing from start to finish.
I absolutely adore every last bit of this series and I'm so glad to have reread it and found it just as good as it was the first time, if not better.
Now, my only question is, what the fuck has Susan Ee been up to in the three years since this came out? Can we please get more Susan Ee? Please? Okay. Thanks.

Now this is how you end a series. I can't really put into words just how much love I have for this book and its predecessors for the incredibly unique, terrifying, and wonderful journey that was Penryn and the End of Days. I doubt I'll ever find anything that's quite as perfect at being different and broken as this series is. It's about broken people: an angel without wings, a sister who's lost the ability to walk, a mother who hears her demons talk to her, and a heroine who stubbornly treks onward despite the true and utter horror and disgrace humanity has become. It's about a broken world. It's about breaking, being broken, and putting things back together again.
This series was as thrilling and horrific as it was funny and strange, just like life is sometimes. It's the kind of apocalypse series that addresses what ACTUAL dystopia looks like and that is a very scary thing. It's a series that's kept me awake at night because of the disgusting and truly scarring things within its pages. But despite this, my one-word verdict on this series is this: beautiful. It's beautiful. It, like hard times in life, is hard to get through, sometimes sickening, but also intensely wonderful with how it describes what falling in love feels like, how the world is and how it might be, and, above all, the good that humanity can bring forth despite hunger, terror, and tragedy ravaging lives.
It's definitely one of my all-time favorites and I feel like it will be that way for many years to come. Hopefully, though, in the years to come, it will serve as a weighty reminder of the darkness we can carry in ourselves in times of hardship rather than becoming a guide to harness that darkness for future use.
All I can say is, with a comfortable life and what seems to be, at this point in time, a safe future, I know anything can change at the turn of any corner, this series is something to be revered in that it knows what it is to do good things and bad things and to curb ourselves so our future looks brighter rather than darker.

That Ending....
I like it, but then I don't.
The rest of the book was very good!
The only thing that bothered me was how Penryn acted towards Raffe during those "steamy" scenes. Blah. Really just the one part. But this series is a must read for everyone!

All the feels. Penryn is awesome. Her sister and mother are too. Raffe is cute.
I don't have words to say how much I liked this series.

Es el tercer libro de la trilogía “El Fin de los Tiempos” donde se libra una batalla épica entre los humanos y los ángeles. Me gustó la evolución de la relación entre Penryn y Raffe, fue divertido ver la transición de enemies to lovers. Paige se ganó mi corazón.
Amé el final, por mi lado fangirl y corazón feliz. Pero el hecho de que Susan lo termine así, no me gusto mucho. Yo esperaba más drama, los tres libros es sangre y más sangre, me hubiera gustado un final más dramático, pero bueno, nos complacieron con el final.
Tres estrellas porque ya que obtuvimos un final así me hubiera gustado gozarlo más con un epílogo más largo aunque sea.

Wow...just as gory and violent as the first 2 books and just as amazing. A really great ending and I'm sad because I want more!
Read this book years back and didn't like it much because it was disappointing. Apparently I haven't rated it yet here lmao
