Waterfall by Lauren Kate

4.0

Reviewed By: Paperback Princesses

Waterfall picks up where Teardrop left off. Eureka has cried all but one of her tears. The world has flooded, people are dead and now, she must travel across the ocean to find the lost Seedbearer to find out how to defeat Atlas, the evil king of Atlantis. She discovers the truth behind the Book of Love and her Tearline, as well as shocking truths about Ander and the rest of her family.

I was generous with this one.

I liked Teardrop. I was looking forward to Waterfall. This book was a mess. Thing’s are happening everywhere that simply don’t add up and are never explained. I felt as if Kate had ideas flying in from a thousand different directions, and she could have written a whole other series with the ideas introduced in this book. There are a lot of loose ends flying about. Thankfully there’s one more book to go, and I have faith she’ll finish on a good note (having read the Fallen series gives me hope).

Waterfall was okay. Good, but not nearly as good as Teardrop.

Will I read this again? I might have to, just to understand what was going on. I probably would reread it anyway, as I usually do right before another book in a series is released. And I definitely will finish the series. I think Lauren Kate is a good YA author, and like I said, I have faith she’ll clear everything up.
