Fallen Series Book Review August 2021

I haven't posted a book review in awhile and I thought I would share this one. And I am already on my way reading another book as you all know about my collection of books that I need to read is still a thing next to my actual library. But back to this book review.

Rapture by Lauren kate is easily my favorite book she ever written, hands down. Even tho it's young adult supernatural novel, I think everyone should read it. Let me honest here, I read the three first book way before this one and I think that was around my junior or senior of high school when I read the others. And I found the fourth book at the bottom of my unread pile. I am beyond glad I got to pick the story back up as an adult and seeing the story, the characters as a whole in different light and I think If I read it back then, I would have walked away with a different perspective then I do now. And oddly enough it made me think of angels and the age I am right now vs my age's mindset then as well. To add it felt like I grew up with the characters a bit as well in the timeline of the story. One other thing this novel opened my eyes up to angels more in the sense than believing they are just with us always but they were here for us, to guide us and hear us when no one else does.

The opening line , "First there was silence " was a powerful start to a heavy powerful,sweet novel in my opinion.Like I said before it's been about ten years since I picked up this story and remembering the story from then and seeing it in a different light now. For example we are in this time from of silence right now in life , nothing seems almost normal and many things are coming to light. Rather we like it or not , I think we have go through this as our individual lessons including living through this pandemic. And looking back at the novel where angels are called to choose sides, that being called balancing of the scales is also something that I find very intersecting what we are going through now. I am trying very hard not to give anything away because I want you all to read it to. Half way through the novel I kept thinking Luce had the answers within her to fix time all together she just need her key to find it. And I was shocked in the mysteries of each relic had opened some new information for not luce herself but everyone that was on the journey with her and Daniel. I love dee's Character she was my favorite character besides Luce but her personally added laughter and heart throughout the novel even if there was sad moment. Dee reminds me of mother willow from pocahontas, I just realized that. I do love all the angels in the novel even Cam, I think he has more the share then he lets on to everyone else.

I think the ending line of the novel couldn't have ended on a perfecter note and left me only wanting more and knowing more of course. "Love for the first and the last time ". I mean just look at those words are alone , I still don't have the words to even describe the impact of those words as a writer's perspective yet. I smiled after the book ended and I thought about Luce's and Daniel's love is and only can be described as timeless. And I couldn't be happier where the two ended up in the end , after all they been through all their live times together. But I wish it was different to the point and God didn't make them choose in the sense so they could be who (Angel's) they always were forever. Who would've thought this after chasing relics in different countries and fighting scale for nine days during time jumps that everything would lead back to jealousy and love over and about someone than just happiness for others. I still think Lucifer has a heart and love in it but maybe he just never knew how to share it right at the beginning.

As a writer I look at it as, I wonder where their story could of went if something else was said in heaven but I am also for them being mortals again ( And yes little clue ,sorry) as well to love more, to have children together. Also in the sense they do get to " live longer" in the world because their children would have part of them in them as time goes on. I know Daniel was the happiest with the decision because he would never have to chase luce through any other lifetime again. I also wish Luce had a bit more time to enjoy all of her old versions of herself to whom she is now before the novel ended but hey I can still wonder for her a bit. I feel odd by saying that , I wish there was more to know time for all them together to relax together after all they were racing against time in the first place to be honest.

My last thought , I wrote down in my little book review notebook is; If I met my soulmate in this lifetime and I also got the chance to know my previous lives with them as well , wouldn't that be amazing to know....

What are your thoughts about that if you could have the chance to know all your past lives and know who your soulmate is to?
