Susan Ee - End of Days

"They’re all so darned perfect in every way...If it wasn’t for you, I’d think that angels were all totally interchangeable."
’‘You mean because I’m beyond perfect?"
’‘No. Because you’re so humble."
’‘Humility’s overrated."
’‘So is clear self-assessment, apparently."
‘Real warriors don’t stand for psychobabble."
’‘Or for rational thinking."

Steel your heart. End of Days will plummet your earth like a meteor blinding the light of stars.

God's gift to women

Susan Ee definitely brought this one up a notch. I'm a hundred degree happier now that Raffe is back in the saddle so you can imagine how hot is in here. He's exactly the kind of guy from who I can't keep my imaginary hands off. Blame is not on me. Perfection hasn't been part of my life till he appeared in all his unworldly glory. Thanks God I got him back! So the saying proves to be right. Absence does make the heart grow fonder. My pounding heart is undoubtedly super-fond!

‘You’d be surprised. Just because I don’t have a problem on the outside visible for the world to see doesn’t mean I’m not messed up on the inside. That can be just as hard to deal with.’

Penryn seems to have a delicate inclination to get herself involved in impossible messed-up situations and she keeps ending up in places where she shouldn't be ignoring common sense. Such as the Messenger's election where she's most likely facing death for she's the infamous Daughter of Man Angel Slayer. Penryn's new year's wishes were swept away right after midnight because she is not having the best time of her life so far. Instead of partying at her senior prom and kissing ordinary-yet-amazing Raffe all over, she wields a deadly angel sword disguised as a teddy bear and occasionally goes on a trip to hell on Friday nights. Just like normal teens do in their free time.

He looks down at me with sincere eyes. ‘If I were human, I would have been the first in line for you . . .’

Raffe and Penryn are the kind of couple whose every single kiss gives me goosebumps. I'm head over heels about the star-crossed romances which are doomed to fail eventually, for the dark forces are non-stop plotting against the love birds. I hate to pop the pink bubble but their future-togetherness is wrapped up in a heavy beyond-hope never-fading haze. Each sliver of their might-be is going to hell in a handbasket. Argh!!!

Fools rush where the angels fear to tread

Freak-out show takes a whole new level in the Pit. Hellions and the Consumed seem pretty disgusting in writing, let alone if it'd be made into a movie. But that would be totally, prodigiously, wonderfully amaze-balls! It's time for a prayer, guys.

Angels dancing on the head of a pin

The outcome is that the angel apocalypse wipe out humanity then the angels give ground and human race is back on track. Yeeah, it has perfectly made sense...???
Angels will think twice with whom they mess around next time. I suppose they could pass their spare time some other way. They can always polish their wings or jump from cloud to cloud, can't they? Time is money and better not to be wasted, I guess.

"Being human isn’t about whether you fit in or look like the rest of us. It’s about who you are and what you’re willing to do or not do."

Aside from the racial differences, I love the way it worked out with Penryn and Raffe. The vicious circle of star-crossed love story has broken which proves what's meant to be will always find a way. Never-never was their relationship earthbound. Their banter? Invaluable.

P.S I like you

A gut-clenching, queasiness-inspiring, happiness-sucking black hole is that Penryn and Raffe left in their wake. Not nice of you guys but I never stopped loving you!

How I feel now

My chest felt like I’d been hit by an NFL linebacker. I have no strength to do but warm the bench.

P.S.
Come hell or high water, I won't settle with plain ordinary. Thus there's no left to do but keep on daydreaming, right? ;)
