The Fallen Series Boxed Set

2012Lauren Kate

4.8/5

With out giving away any spoilers, I'd have to say this book series is quite amazing. I read all but one, Fallen in Love, simply because I didn't want any side tracking from the initial story.My little run down version of the novel in a paragraph:The novels entail about a forbidden love far from earthly acknowledgement and follows the story of two young lovers and their efforts at restoring peace to the world whilst trying to savour moments of their time together. With the agony of constant beings and forces pulling them apart but paining them together, the bitter-sweet desire of their meetings reveal a mind boggling twist which reveal the secret she had been hiding from herself... And whether they meet and love for the last time is left to fate rather than destiny. Hehehe. How was that? A pathetic attempt at luring fellow readers. :DMini-review:Honestly, I think the beginning of the Fallen book could've done a better job at capturing the reader, I believe the first paragraph should always edge the reader for more but instead it created a little uncertainty and confusion. That's just my perspective and so it made me put off my reading for quite some time. After actually getting a chance to read on, it got a little difficult to put down. Only after I had completed the first novel did I realise Kate's intent of that.So, the story begins with an introduction into the characters and I believe Lauren Kate did a good job at portraying each of the characters. I was instantly able to place features and faces to the names. Written beautifully, the story unravelled uniquely but at times I lost track due to the constant dramatical change of the time setting. The only true downside to this book series is that I would have loved for a little heavy reading on their romance. I'm that kind of reader. I love a little heart settling romance and I wasn't indulged into their romance as I wish I could have been. With a love worth sinking deeply into, these novels would have been great! None-the-less, I would suggest this book series for young adults wanting a steady read.I hope I've convinced a few people to consider the book series. Its a great story to add to the collection & it has great perspective and insight into the 'fantasy' aspect of the existence of the human and the immortal realm.
