World After by Susan Ee

This is the second book in the Penryn & The End of Days Trilogy. To check out my review of Anglefall the first book in the trilogy click the link http://anastasiarobsonwolfe.blogspot.co.uk/2016/04/angelfall-by-susan-ee.html.

After the world is ruined by the freak storm controlling the land and the Angels taking kids to be experimented and turned into fighting flying scorpions or 'Locusts' as they are calling them, nothing will be the same again.Penryn was stung viciously by one of the Locusts and her family, the resistance and Raffe all think she is dead from the attack from the locusts. Little do they know that the locusts sting only paralyses people not actually killing them.

This all started when Penryn and Raffe find the aerie, both for their own reasons. Penryn is desperate to find her little sister and save her from the angels and Raffe needs to get his wings transferred back onto him before the wings die. They get to the aerie, it's packed with human waiters and angels drinking, dancing generally acting like they aren't in a war with humans nor taking the children.

They find Josiah the only Angel that might be willing to help Raffe get his wings on his back again. He goes off with Josiah leaving Penryn to go find her little sister Paige, she enlists the help of one of the resistance people who knows where Paige might be.

Everything spirals out of control when Penry goes to where Paige might be, the place is full of tubes, in the tubes there is people some of which had just been at the aerie, they have the scorpion locusts in the tubes draining the human lives, Penryn delves deeper into the place and finds children stacked upon children all stitched up around their bodies looking half dead.

The book wasn't as good as the first one but not the worst continuation of a trilogy I have read, I liked the way the book continued straight from where the last one finished. The book is a great peace and had a lot of problems come up in the book to keep you focused on what was going on.

I liked how Penryn progressed in the World After book because she became more herself and her character blossomed in the second book more than the first.
