Fallen in Love

Lauren Kate

3.41 AVERAGE


This book was fairly average overall, made for a short filler story between the two final books.
adventurous emotional hopeful inspiring lighthearted reflective sad fast-paced

This is a lovely addition to the Fallen series. I really like the title _ "Fallen" in love, but not lame old fallen in love.
Anyway, I heart Shelby's and Miles's story, since I have always felt a little bad for Miles. Daniel's and Luce's story is ever so touching, while Roland's story brings me to tears. It is true that sometimes we cannot be with the ones we love, and thus we can only hope the best for them. Cam's story (told a little in Roland's) is also beautifully sad. I like the introduction to Rapture. Very dramatic. "tick-tock. Time to fly". very much enticipating for Rapture.

Finished this book in 2 days. It was great.

For the hype and excitement, added to my own anticipation, this was a bit of a let down.
but it was still nice, and it was a good filler between the release of Passion and Rapture.

Review: http://theliteraturelion.blogspot.com/2012/03/fallen-in-love-by-lauren-kate.html

Fallen In Love is four short stories, each following the supporting characters on their Valentine's Day. It's been a while since I read Passion, so it was a bit hard getting into this, but after a while the character and plot came clearing. But yet, I didn't really like them that much.

The first short story, Love Where You Least Expect It, was about Shelby and Miles, two Nephilim that were following Luce through the Announcers. Out of all of the stories, I probably liked this one the best because these were the only two characters that I really remembered a lot about. I don't recall much romance happening between these two before this, but I like how their relationship grew. The trade that Shelby did for Miles hat and what Miles did for Shelby's gloves was adorable and I really liked how this one ended. Definitely my favorite of the four.

Second, we learned more about Roland in Love Lessons. This one wasn't as light-hearted as Miles and Shelby's story - it was definitely more sad and sorrowful. I don't really know what to say about this one without revealing some of the information, but Roland was much different compared to his cool demeanor in the original series. I really didn't find his that enjoyable until the end when we found out about his love one.

Arriane's story, Burning Love, was really interesting for me. I kind of guessed that Arriane was gay, but I don't think it was mentioned in the books. This made the angels seem a bit more real to me and even a little more heart-breaking between Arriane and her loved one, Tessa. In this short story, you also find out about how she received her scars!

Out of all of these, this one was my least favorite. I'm getting kind of sick of the Daniel and Luce story, so in Endless Love, I was getting kind of bored. Sure, it was the only Valentine's the two of them spent together, and Luce is gonna die and yada-yada-yada.

I must admit, I'm getting bored with all of the Daniel and Luce story. I may not even check out Rapture when it's released unless I hear really good reviews about it! Truly, I'm more curious about the other characters!

I didnt really like this book the story's were really unrealistic and the writing felt really choppy

Reviewnya simple aja, ini lebih bagus dan oke daripada kisah conta Daniel + Luce. Fondasi di kisah cinta Roland + Arrianne sangat cucok tapi Shelby Miles? Hell-o? ini mbak Lauren Kate lagi mabok apa gimana? kok tiba” Shelby Miles bisa jadi jatuh cinta? lucu banget gaada angin gaada ujan tiba” mereka saling suka sama lain tanpa membeberkan penjelasan.

A great series of short stories centered around a Valentine's Day in the past, each one covering a different character/couple. It gave some really great insight into characters that had been more peripheral before, and turned my vague possible liking towards Miles/Shelby into loving the crap out of it. I also liked that the author brought in some representation with Arriane's short story, it was a pleasant surprise

It was an enjoyable read. Good collection of short stories. I would have preferred that these shorts were available free on the authors website like many other writers do for their readers. I liked Rolands story the most. The others were readable but not as addictive as i was expecting.
