Angelfall

Penryn loses her sister to the angels when they attack the world. She must team up with Raffe, an angel who's wings were cut off, to find her among the angels. As they start their journey, Penryn and Raffe slowly become friends, despite his past, and they learn to take care of each other.

I learned the term proverbial. Proverbial means referred to in a proverb or idiom. Raffe is a proverbial angel and likes to rant about his god.


Part Two: Penryn and Raffe happen upon a group of humans planning to overtake the angels and are taken as prisoners. They don't know that Raffe used to be an angel and don't find out. In order to escape, Penryn must fight with people and lose.

I made a text to text connection. In the Maximum Ride series, Max must escape the Erasers by fighting them. When she loses, she's let go as the scientists don't think she's useful anymore.
