A review by msrichardsreads89
The Fallen by Ada Hoffmann

adventurous dark emotional tense medium-paced

I jumped straight into this one after finishing The Outside, and I liked this one even better than book 1. What the characters lacked in book 1, Ada Hoffman made up for in book 2. They were more fleshed out, and we got a much more intimate perspective on the characters and their inner thoughts. The plot picks up from The Outside and ramps up even more, showing us how the world is changing and affecting the citizens of Jai as well as adding additional plot threads to the narrative. I loved the expansion of the politics, the exploration of trauma and psychological plurality, and the inclusion of more diverse, neurodivergent characters. The cliffhanger at the end made me want to immediately pick up the last book in the trilogy.
