Book description
Penryn's quest to rescue her sister from flying angels isn't just the plot of Angelfall-it's the reason you'll be muting your phone for three hours straight. Susan Ee's debut, now a brilliantly narrated audiobook, turns the "angels descending to wreck the world" trope into something thrillingly fresh. Forget your usual apocalyptic clichΓ©s; here, the real horror isn't the angels, it's the fact that the narrator's voice makes you feel the dust of a broken world in your throat.
Ee's background as a former lawyer? It's the secret sauce. She knows how to cut through nonsense-just like Penryn, who'd rather bargain with an injured enemy angel than beg. The audiobook's pacing is razor-sharp: you're sprinting through post-apocalyptic San Francisco with Penryn, Raffe's sarcastic barbs cutting through the dread, and that perfect moment when the narrator drops the mic on a line like, "I'd rather be a demon than a saint." (Spoiler: You'll be quoting that.)
The real magic? How the audiobook turns the book's flaws into strengths. Yeah, the angels are a bit too dramatic, but the narrator's deadpan delivery ("Oh, great. Another angel who thinks he's the Chosen One") makes you laugh while your heart's racing. And Raffe? His voice-gruff, wounded, with just enough smolder-makes you forgive the whole "angels are secretly vulnerable" thing. You don't just hear the story; you lean into the headphones, heart pounding, because the narrator gets it: this isn't just a rescue mission. It's a girl refusing to let the world's darkness win.
You'll catch yourself nodding along to Penryn's fierce logic ("I'm not asking for a favor. I'm offering a deal.") and then realizing you've just been narrating a book about angels. Ee's "failing at law, thriving at writing" pivot? It's not just a bio quirk-it's why this audiobook sings. It's smart, it's funny, and it's got the kind of urgency that makes you skip your next meeting. Six weeks after the apocalypse? You'll be begging for more.
