It's a Long Story

Raffe and Penryn

Hey peoples!

I'm Ricky, 21, from the Bay Area (Penryn's homeland!) :D

I do need to reread these books, yes. :) I need to once again rediscover this quote:

“I never kid about my warrior demigod status."

"Oh. My. God." I lower my voice, having forgotten to whisper. "You are nothing but a bird with an attitude. Okay, so you have a few muscles, I’ll grant you that. But you know, a bird is nothing but a barely evolved lizard. That’s what you are.”

I get strangely excited when groups do questionnaire things! makes me feel loved (sad i know)

So i am called Alice
I am from England, Britain, UK whatever you people call it nowadays!
I am 18, therefore i am supposedly meant to act like an adult! HA!
RE-READER! Ofcourse!
I Discovered the books on booktube (and the fact there was evil angels hell yeah i'd be interested)
favorite character is ofcourse penryn! She is a badass whats not to like
What's your favourite quote from the series?
It's not a quote it's more of a scene it's in the second book and it involves penryn and raffe, on a beach and seaweed. Don't want to spoil anyone but you'll know it when you see it :)

Hey there folks!

I'm Kathrin, 20 (well in a week)from Germany and of course a re-reader.

I discovered the books on Booktube as well (Polandbananasbook) and it was pretty much like with Alice. "Evil angels? Okay I'm in!"
Penryn is my fav of course!

And yep, the scene that Alice mentioned is my favorite one as well. It's perfection!

Hello! My name is Anna and I'm 21 years old. I'm from Brazil.
I'm a re-reader and loving the idea of reading it again with everyone! It hasn't been a while since I've finished them, but I liked it enough to read it again after such a short time! c:
I found out about the book due to reviews here on GoodReads, while searching for good dystopian stories!
I don't have a favorite quote, but I hope to change that after reading it again lol.
It's nice to meet everyone!

Favourite character is... Penryn AND Raffe! How could I be forced to choose? Pooky Bear is pretty cool though ;)

My favourite quote!
"My friends call me Wrath," says Raffe. "My enemies call me Please Have Mercy. What's your name, soldier boy?" Raffe's mocking tone brings a flush to my cheeks for no reason.

My favorite quote is...

Here, I’ll show you how to use it. Let me see your foot.”
“That’s a pretty intimate demand in the angel world. It usually takes dinner, some wine, and sparkling conversation for me to give up my feet.”

And then... (some pages forward)
"Don't talk. You'll spoil my fantasy of rescuing an innocent damsel in distress as soon as you open your mouth."

Hello!

My name is Ashlei and I'm 24 from Iowa. I am a re-re-reader!

I found Angelfall browsing titles on Amazon. Read them on my kindle and just had to go buy paperback copies :)

My favorite character is penryn but her mother takes a close second.

I have too many quotes that are great but I do love raffes sarcastic remarks :)

A re- re- re- reader ;D

I discovered Angelfall when I was going through booktube videos and saw a ton of positive reviews. Decided to pick it up and it's now one of my favorite books :)

I love Penryn and Raffe obviously, but Dee Dum is awesome. And the mom is so interesting! Haha

"Penryn? Who are you talking to? "
"Just my own personal demon, Mom. Don't worry. He's just a little weakling."
"Oh. Okay. Don't underestimate them. And don't make them promises you can't keep."

But I love all the witty exchanges between Raffe and Penryn ;)

I discovered this when I was browsing for good angel books because eighth grade was my angel book phase.
Favorite character: Penryn (predictably) and her mom because crazy moms always add more awesome sauce to an already awesome sauce plot.
Favorite quote: I don't have one...
"Leaking sacks of mutated maggots?" He raises his perfectly arched eyebrow as though I'd just failed my verbal insult exam."
"I am not afraid of you, your kind, or your god."

Are you a first-time reader or a re-reader?
This will be the second time I'll be reading both Angelfall and World After
How did you discover Angelfall?
I was on a Hunger Games fan site and there was a link that read "if you liked Hunger Games then you'll love this book" and I checked it out and decided to read it. I loved it.
Who's your favourite character? Penryn
What's your favourite quote from the series?
“Your world is so different from mine. Do you guys have anything in common with humans?”
He looks at me with those killer eyes in that perfect face over his Adonis body. “Nothing we’ll admit to.”
“There’s no way around it, is there?” I ask. “We’re mortal enemies and I should be trying to kill you and everyone like you.”
He leans over, touches the tip of his forehead to mine, and closes his eyes. “Yes.” His gentle breath caresses my lips as he says the word.
I close my eyes too, and try to focus on the warmth of his forehead resting on mine.” and “Was that you, Pooky Bear?”

re-reader!

Already told the story so I'll just cut/paste :D
"I met Angelfall here on goodreads, it was on my recommendations and I liked the cover, so I thought I'd give it a try. I loved it and immediatly I started World After, and it was amazing!! I read them in my kindle, but then I bought the paperback on bookdepository (here in Chile it's hard to find this kind of books, and it wasn't translated by the time) now I think I'll buy it in spanish just to stalk my friends with it until they read it ahahahaha can't wait for End of Days! Yaaaaay!!!"

favourite character: Penryn, Raffe and Pooky Bear <3

“He glares at me as if he already hates it. “What is it?” I consider lying but what’s the point? I clear my throat. “Pooky Bear"
He’s silent for so long I’m beginning to think he didn’t hear me when he finally says, “Pooky. Bear.” “It was just a little joke. I didn’t know.”
“I’ve mentioned that names have power, right? Do you realize that when she fights battles, she’s going to have to announce herself to the opposing sword? She’ll be forced to say something ridiculous like, ‘I am Pooky Bear, from an ancient line of archangel swords.’ Or, ‘Bow down to me, Pooky Bear, who has only two other equals in all the worlds.’ ” He shakes his head. “How is she going to get any respect?”

Re-reader and re-listener the audio books are amazing!
I think it was a free read, not sure how I discovered it but so happy I did.
Raffe

" I place my hand on his cheek . It’s warm and pleasant. Maybe too pleasant. When his eyes don’t open, I tentatively touch my lips to his. At first, I get no response and I consider backing off. Then, his kiss turns hungry. It is not the gentle kiss of a couple on a first date, nor is it the kiss of a man driven by simple lust. He kisses me with the desperation of a dying man who believes the magic of eternal life is in this kiss. The ferocity of his grip around my waist and shoulders, the grinding pressure of his lips, has me off balance so that my thoughts whirl out of control"

It's a re-Read. I.m from Southampton, England.
I discovered it when it was still a self published sensation and it kept popping on my news feed. so i had to pick it up to see what the fuss was about and next thing I know it was dawn and I completed the book in one sitting.

Re-reader of Angelfall though I can't find the second book to read -What have I done to deserve this??-

I honestly can't remember how I found it, either a friend of mine on Goodreads read it and I got curious or just checking books out. I loved, looved the cover but what really got me into reading it was the summary and how, when Raffe is mentioned it doesn't imply a romance, only Penryn looking for her sister.

Probably the bird with an attitude. Yeap, that's gotta be my favorite so far!

Nah, I can't choose.

Hi!
I'm Sabrina and I live in Australia. I'm 18 and a re-reader.
Like some people above, I found out about Angelfall through Booktube - probably Polandbananas, but I can't remember exactly :)
Raffe and Penryn are some of my favourite characters of all time, so they are my favourites from the series.
I have a few favourite quotes:
- “Anybody that ties you to a chair at gunpoint is a bad guy. Do I really need to explain this?”
- “Why were the other angels attacking you?"
"It's impolite to ask the victim of violence what they did to be attacked.”
- “Challenging weirdness is a pointless and sometimes dangerous exercise.”
- “I'm gonna be sick," I said
"I'm ordering you not to," says Obi.
"Ah, don't say that," says Dee-Dum. "She's a born rebel. She'll puke just to make a point.”

And then pretty much anything about Pooky Bear makes me smile.

I'm so excited for End of Days!

I'm pretty new to Goodreads and this is the first group I've joined, so hey guys!! :)

Are you a first-time reader or a re-reader? Re-reader of course!!
How did you discover Angelfall? Amazon recommended it to me, I bought it before a 23 hour bus ride to Florida (long story) last spring, and I stayed up most of the night reading!!! Then I had to wait until I had Internet to buy World After, I read that on the way back home, and I've been waiting for End of Days ever since. :D
Who's your favourite character? Ooohhhhh........ I'd have to say Penryn's mom!! I can't even identify why but I'm really attached to her. I also love Pooky Bear but that's probably because of the name.
What's your favourite quote from the series?
Well I have a lot...... Most of you have already said them.... But I'll pick a few and come back later to add them! :)

Name: sanny
Location: Jakarta
Age: young at heart
Reader status: I read Angelfall once and am reading the second book now.
Fave character: I have none, but I'm curious about Penryn's sis and her subsequent fate, poor girl.
Discovery of Angelfall: Through Goodreads - finally, a rec that doesn't disappoint!
Favourite quote: The quote about being flawed and a daughter of man.

Name: Sage
Age: 17
I'm from Texas.
Rereading.
Favorite character: it's hard to choose between Penryn and Raffe
Favorite quote: “Once I see him, I forget all about the food.

He stands in the bathroom doorway, steam drifting languidly around him, wearing nothing but a towel draped loosely around his hips. Beads of water cling to him like diamonds in a dream. The combined effect of the soft light behind him from the bathroom and the steam curling around his muscles gives the impression of a mythological water god visiting our world.”

Oh! And I found the series through Tumblr.

I'm new to goodreads too well a last year i started to read ! yes i started to read i was one of those guys who was to cool for reading books but for some reason i pick this book out at my local chapters when my sister had me drive there to get a book so i was like "mmm maybe i will try to read this "... well last year i ended up reading 29 books !!! ahhh that was crazy for a guy who never gave books a chance before !!

I am a re-reader
The front cover caught my eye as i was on good reads recommendations.
My favourite characters are Penryn's mother and Raffe.

Name: Katerina
Location: Russia, Novosibirsk
Age: soon to be 26

I'm vet-re-reader. It would be my third Angelfall/World After re-reading's time.

I find this book on livelib: saw the cover, passed eyes over premise and reviews and decide to read it later, now I can't believe that I'd been keeping on ice something like that for too long. When I finally picked up this book I've read it within 12 hours and immediately star the sequel

My favourite character is Raffe. He's sharp-tongued, witty and devastatingly handsome of course.

One of my fav-quotes ('cause I love almost every word in these books):

“Don't let my appearance fool you, Penryn. I am not human. The Daughters of Men are forbidden to Angels.” “What about Daughters of Women?” I attempt a cheeky smile but it falls flat.”

Name: Jessica
Location: Australia

Re-reader
I was searching for books like Hush Hush and i found Angelfall and i just fell in love since the first word.
My favourite character is Raffe, because he is so awesome!

Fav-quotes

“Why were the other angels attacking you?"

"It's impolite to ask the victim of violence what they did to be attacked.”

and

“Oh, please. Your giant head is getting too big for this forest. Pretty soon, you're going to get stuck trying to walk between two tress. And then, I'll have to rescue you." I give him a weary look. "Again.”

or

“A little weird? That was freakin' Bizarroville."
He pauses and looks back at me.
"Are you speaking English?”

I just like all the book, cant choose
