It’s a good story of a romance between an angel and a Human, Luce. Luce keeps burning to death in each of her lives, although she has no memory of her past lives. She has to rely on the little info her boyfriend allows her about how they are destined to be together. I must admit, I’m not in love with Daniel.
I read Fallen over a decade ago, and it was easy to fall back into the story. However, there was something about this story that felt dated. I think over time main characters have got more feisty, but Luce relies on her boyfriend for protection.
He pulls her out of the boarding school she was at, and moves her to one for angels where he thinks she’ll be more safe. He then abandons her and refuses to answer her questions, leaving her in the dark.
I enjoyed learning more about the other angels, and demons. The “announcers” were interesting and this was one of my favourite parts of the story.
