arcanewolf 's review for:

Passion by Lauren Kate
2.0

I know it's taken me a long time to finally read this book but I did have my reasons.

I was hesitant because I felt that Torment had went a bit downhill after Fallen and I didn't want to read this book if I had felt that it was going to continue to go downhill for me and ruin the series for me, which would have been a shame because I absolutely liked Fallen.

However, I feel this book really picked up from the disappointment downhill tumble from Torment and really got me back into the series. Going through the different eras really hooked me because I love learning about history and about the different eras, it was a reason I took History at GCSE and English Literature at A Level.

I really liked the alternate viewpoints between Luce and Daniel because we got to see how each of them were feeling, it was almost like watching them rediscover their past lives on the their quest to find a way to break this curse. Kate's emotive language really got to me and it was filled with so much passion (no pun intended) that you could really feel the love between Daniel and Luce.

Though when it was coming near the end, I felt like it was tying up a lot of loose ends so I started to wonder what Rapture was going to be about if everything was coming together but at the very last second, Kate pops a HUGE plot twist so it ended on a bit of a cliffhanger.

It's safe to say that this book rekindled my faith in this series and I can't wait to get a copy of Rapture when it comes out during the summer.
