Title: World After (Penryn and the End of Days, #2)
Author: Susan Ee
Publisher: Skyscape
Year: 2013
320 pages
This second installment advances the story through both action and information.
The reader learns more about angels and their politics, as well as the utility of strong relationships. Penryn matures over the compressed time scale covered here, evincing greater empathy and continuing to articulate her relational needs to herself. This, against a foreground of fast-paced events and sword-mediated flashbacks, demonstrates that it is possible for lovestruck teens in urban fantasy dystopias to enact their angst without artificially intruding on and disrupting the urgent momentum of the story's events.
