I knew when I was halfway through reading this that I just wouldn't be able to write a full review. There was something about End of Days that I both hated and loved at the same time. On one hand it felt like I was reading a completely different book with a completely different Raffe and on the other hand it felt like I had already read multiple of these scenes throughout the first two books. I can see why so many people have mixed emotions towards the last instalment in the Angelfall trilogy. It was truly bittersweet.
This post '20 Thoughts While Reading End of Days' is inspired by this post by The Quiet People. It was such an interesting (and one of my favourite) posts that I decided to do something inspired by it for End of Days, to commemorate the book that had me feeling such intense feelings.
1) Dee and Dum comparing Penryn to Obi is making me tear up. (In retrospect, this is making me tear up even more.)
2) GOD BLESS THE HOLY TRINITY.
3) 'It turns out she's the only one I can trust to watch my back' DON'T DO THIS TO ME.
4) I feel like I'm reading something completely different and yet exactly the same.
5) HOW THE HECK HAS THIS ALL TAKEN PLACE OVER TWO DAYS WTF.
6) GUT HIM PENRYN.
7) This book is ridiculous oh my god how did they just throw in a sea monster adnauiegfbdG
8) I'M NOT CRYING THERE'S JUST A RAFFE IN MY EYE.
9) This is literally the stupidest idea any YA character has ever had.
10) Sometimes I forget Raffe is agnostic.
11) 'Don't drop me' 'Never' I'm going to slit my neck open with a spoon.
12) 'I'm hanging onto him so tightly that I begin to notice that he's rubbing against me with every whoosh of his wings' HE'S DOING THIS ON PURPOSE RAFFE YOU CHEEKY MOTHERFUCKER.
13) They were literally having dry sex in the sky (in hell). Raffryn has joined the mile high club.
14) I don't want to feel bad for Beliel.
15) 'Was like being dragged through a vat of vaseline' wtf does that even mean what kind of a sentence is that wtf.
16) Ah shit, Penryn.
17) THEY ARE SO FUCKING SMART.
18) damn right she's a fucking queen.
19) RADFE G ET OFF THE FICICING. BRUDGE (Translation: Raffe get off the fucking bridge.) OH MY GOD WHAT HAVE YOU DONE. DON'T DO THIS SAVE YOURSELF. RAFFE THIS IS SO DUMB THIS IS SO SO DUMB. I'M IN TEARS.
20) I have the dumbest shit eating grin on my face right now.
YAY!!!! I LOVE THESE POSTS! (Well... you would expect that since I kind of made them...). But anyway, I completely love you for for writing this. THEY ARE FUN TO WRITE, right? And, it turns out they're fun to read too. I haven't read End of Days yet - I've actually only just finished Angelfall (OMG SO GOOD!), but I will be finishing the series at some point. Maybe when I've prepared myself for emotional torture and dry humping... YAY!

Glad you enjoyed it! I loved reading your posts so I figured why not try it out myself and it was SO MUCH FUN.
DeleteI was slightly disappointed with End of Days. It was a wild (and fun) ride but it almost felt as if everything Susan Ee had been building up towards just didn't matter/exist anymore so it was weird to see all of that development go to waste. I still loved it though!
Thanks,

Oh no. WELL NOW I NEED TO FIGURE OUT WHAT ALL THIS IS ABOUT. Thanks a lot Natalie xD
ReplyDeleteYou're welcome, Kayla ;) x
DeleteI finished, and gah, I'm one of those people who didn't really like it. It just all went down in the last half. :( But oh yes, hot, sweet moments. :D
ReplyDeleteIt definitely did go downhill, but it was a wild ride getting there.
DeleteThanks for the comment, Shannelle!
Haha, I recognize some of these stages, especially "I don't want to feel bad for Beliel." Like, HE IS THE BAD GUY, I should not feel anything for him.
ReplyDeleteAND YET....
