The Fallen

Briar's Reviews

What feels like eons ago, The Fallen by Thomas E. Sniegoski was a VERY popular book among my classmates. Me, being the closer Avril Lavigne-esque bookaholic, decided I was not going to read what the popular kids like. Now that it's 2019, I decided that it was time to see what all the fuss was about... and I was right in my original decision.

I did not enjoy this book. It was well written and truly intriguing, but I just couldn't get into it. I was going to DNF this book, but I decided to finish it off and send it on it's merry way to a Christmas Adoption (some teenagers were looking for presents, and I'm sure that age group would like it more than me). 

It felt like a stereotypical YA novel - angels, nephilim and magical powers with one guy being the most special - but it felt very, very slow. I'm a fast paced kinda girl, so this book made me feel bored.

My biggest positive for this book was that the descriptions and building plot was marvelous. It was truly awesome to read how Thomas was building up this series, but it felt like that - part of a series and not an initial stand alone. Books that build up for a bigger universe tend to fall flat for me - I need a good initial story to pull me in and hook me.

My biggest pet peeve was the dog incident. If you read the book, you know what I'm talking about. I just... nope. Big nope for me. No matter if it's a happy ending or not, that hurt wildly and I put the book down for DAYS because of it. 

Overall, I'm glad I picked the book up to see what all the hype was about but it just wasn't for me! 

One out of five stars.

Only Aaron and his fellow Nephilim can protect the world from Satan’s wrath in this riveting finale to the New York Times bestselling The Fallen series. Satan is determined to create his own Hell on Earth and has unleashed unfathomable chaos into the world. Cut off from Heaven, humanity’s only hope for salvation rests with eighteen-year-old Aaron and the other Nephilim who fight by his side. These angelic warriors will protect civilization and restore God’s favor no matter the cost. But there can be only one champion—and defeat is eternal. The battle lines have been drawn. Armageddon is here.

don't know how I feel about this...The end was quite good, although a bit abrupt. But the first 2/3 of the book I didn't really enjoy. I put this one down several times, SEVERAL times. 
What kept me going were the parts with gabriel, still love him, but other then that Idk. Most of the time I wanted it to be over, but I also wanted to read it, as this is the last part in a series, I grew up with.
The end however was really good...
Still don't know How I feel about it though...

Destined for Heaven or Hell? The saga continues from THE FALLEN 1. Aaron’s senior year has been anything but typical. Half-angel and half-human, he has been charged to reunite the Fallen with Heaven. But the leader of the Dark Powers is determined to destroy Aaron—and all hope of angelic reconciliation. Struggling to harness the incredible force within him, Aaron trains for the ultimate battle. With the Dark Powers building in strength and numbers, their clash may come sooner than he expects. And everyone who’s ever mattered to Aaron is now in grave danger. Aaron must protect the girl he loves and rescue the only family he’s ever known. Because if he can’t save them from the Dark Powers, how can he hope to save the Fallen?
