** spoiler alert ** 

Reli esse mais pela nostalgia gótica e saudades da época de Crepúsculo do que por realmente apreciar a história. Talvez tenha sido um desafio a entender se eu tinha mesmo um péssimo gosto quando adolescente ou se é tão bom quanto lembrava.

Nessa história surpreendentemente nossa personagem principal tem amigos e família, um avanço se comparado aos outros livros YA, mas logo a gente caí na real porque ela é magra demais, se acha feia demais mesmo tendo metade do elenco interessada nela, é tímida demais, sofre demais, é solitária, ninguém a entende, o mundo é cruel... 

Fallen é ruim, não tem nada de revolucionário aqui. A história dela com o Daniel é confusa e extremamente preguiçosa. A autora tenta a todo momento criar uma aura de mistério, mas o jeito dela em tornar os personagens misteriosos é literalmente fazendo eles dizerem "não posso te contar a verdade, descubra sozinha". E não é só uma vez não, são várias. Chega a ser irritante esse estado forçoso de falta de informação. 

Vale a pena ler? Sim se você tiver entediado e quiser desligar a cabeça, não se você tiver algo melhor pra fazer, tipo ir tomar um copo de água. 

Crepúsculo só que com anjos e a autora nem tenta.

I am currently halfway through the book and was a little bored so I decided to come here and look at the reviews just to check if my time and patience would be worth it. Thank god I didn't waste my time.

I'd like to give this book 3.5 stars. It's more than a 3 because I more than liked it, but I didn't love it. Plus, it's the first in a series, so I have to wait a while before I can find out what happens next. But it's the beginning to a good story, hopefully. She's set the stage for something big, and I hope it works out.

I absolutely loved this book! It's so full of emotions and I could really feel what they were feeling. It's mysterious and every page that I read was not enough. It kept me wanting more.

I feel bad for calling Bella Swan incompetent when Luce Price exists.

This book is severely underdeveloped. I really like the premise but found myself confused the entire time.

It was okay, probably very corny and very cliché, but it was okay.
