Pretty awesome book, Shannon Messenger did and amazing and i mean amazing!!!!!! job with this one, i can begin to imagine the level of investigation and detail that she had to do to make this book work and not only did she make it work this book will blow you away! (Yes pun intended!) i will not only follow up on this story but i will also follow up on her as her style of writing has captivated me. You don't come across many original ideal that work nowadays so don't let this story pass you.

I only read this because of Shannon Messenger's other series Keeper of the Lost Cities (which is utterly amazing, and I would highly recommend it). But I was really disappointed with Let the Sky Fall. First of all it was really slow. And secondly, I feel like it could have been written...better? But maybe that is just me.

This book was so great! The plot was so unique and interesting, yet beautifully simple. I loved Vane's sarcastic voice and Audra's complex motivations. The romance felt pretty organic, especially on Audra's part, and the conclusion felt perfect, with plenty left to chew on until I read book two.

This novel is a superb discovery. I devoured it from beginning to end. The further I read, the more intrigued I became. The plot was captivating and the ending was truly astonishing. I like the style of writing, which consists of dual point of view. Naturally, I can't wait to read the next novel. I can't wait to see what happens next for Vane and Audra.
Ce roman est une superbe découverte. J'ai dévoré ce roman du début à la fin. Plus ma lecture avançait, plus j'étais intriguée. L'intrigue était captivante et la fin est vraiment étonnante. J'aime bien le style d'écriture qui consiste à nous faire voir le point de vue des deux personnages principaux. Naturellement j'ai hâte de lire la suite de ce roman. J'ai hâte de voir qu'est-ce que nous réserves les aventures de Vane et Audra.

This book. Is magical. It is everything you could ask for from a paranormal romance. Sarcastic, funny, sexy, with a strong stubborn heroine and and equally as amazing hero, itt has action, mystery, and just general wonderfulness that I can't get over. Let the Sky Fall is up there on the same level as The Infernal Devices and Lux Series and so so many more spectacular books that are like my Holy Grail(s).
Now that I've been super vague lets dive right in! I love the mythical species used in Let the Sky Fall. You always see vampires, werewolves, demigods, etc but not once had I ever heard of a sylph. Now I looked up sylph on Wikipedia because thats what one does when one doesn't know something, apparently they aren't very well known or used often at all because all the definition I got was an air elemental associated with fairies. But damn, Shannon Messenger fills in all the details. Basically they are beings of air with their bodies being their only connection to earth, and they can control and speak to wind. There are 4 types of winds (and sylphs) North, South, East, and West each with its own personality type. Each type of wind has its own language and if you know them you can control the wind and even combine different types. Its all pretty epic, actually.
Then the dual POV. I usually despise dual POV, with a passion. I always find myself liking one person better and being generally irritated when in the other's but not with this one. Both Audra and Vane have such strong and stunning personalities I enjoyed reading both equally. I also really love how Shannon Messenger makes Vane, well, a guy. She made his personality and the way he thinks very much like I imagine a real guy would and that made him a very believable character. He really acts and talks like an average teenage boy. Vane is very lovable and adorable from the first moment. Audra however, takes a little to warm up to because of her hard exterior. She is so wonderfully complex and it was really cool watching her grow and peel back her layers.
Another reason I LOVE Let the Sky Fall is there is no love triangle. I mean sure, they get in their own way plenty of times and the Gales act sort of as a 3rd person that it could be taken as a love triangle. BUT IT ISNT! And thats what matters. They are both so real I feel like I know them. But I swear I have never had a more anticipated kiss. EVER. I have never ever wanted two people to kiss more than I want them to. It is INTENSE. I know it probably doesn't feel like it but I a freaking out. Like dying in a puddle of feelings because someone reached into my chest and shredded me feelings to bits just big enough that I could feel them ache, in like the best "omg no no its not over, give me MMMOOORRREEEE" way. I cant say anything more without exploding in spoilers( this books has ALOT of them) I can just leave you with these parting words: Read it. You wont regret it. Ever.
