I loved the dark feel of Fallen, and the questions that kept up throughout Fallen. But I was really irritated with Luce’s character, she was well developed but extremely weak, even in the climax she gave in too easily. The ending itself was pretty exciting, it made me want to read the sequel. I found the ‘fantasy’ part of this book was really well developed (not that other parts of Fallen wasn’t) little clues to the ending were littered throughout Fallen, and the ending came together very nicely. Some of the characters that were not one of the main characters felt underdeveloped, and too stereotypical when it came to their main traits. The romance was great, sizzling and kept me wanting more while still tearing me between Cam and Daniel. Fallen was not as fast as I would have liked though, always pulling you along with something to need an answer for or the chance of more romance. Fallen kept dragging me along with secrets, little tidbits, and mystery, but I was never interested enough to feel fully immersed. I enjoyed the idea but I felt it like the book was too slow for me to enjoy. The Mythology was great but Fallen still is not on the top of my list of books to recommend, it just didn't make for me. I did however really enjoy Lauren Kate's The Betrayal of Natalie Hargrove.
