Took a while to get into at the start because there's a time-jump from the end of the first one, so we have to learn the status quo all over again.

This review contains spoilers for book one in the series, The Outside!
When I read The Outside for the first time, I believed it was a standalone – it had an ending that wrapped up the main story, but left enough room that the reader could be satisfied that Life Would Go On once the final page was turned. I adored it and was perfectly happy with that ending.
But it wasn’t a standalone, we got more story, and it is freaking awesome!
Which is maybe a weird thing to say, because The Fallen is a much grimmer book than The Outside was. The Outside was about fighting a clear enemy, more or less (although it ended up being far more complicated than that, because Hoffman is brilliant and doesn’t talk down to her readers), whereas The Fallen is…the aftermath.
And the aftermath isn’t very pretty.
