5.0

Torment moves faster than Fallen, which was desperately needed. Luce and Daniel must stay apart for 18 days, she is sent to a new school with a cast of vibrant characters. Shelby is the mean girl, Miles is sweet, and yes we see Cam and Daniel again as well as a few others from Sword and Cross. There are still questions, what is Luce exactly? Who can Luce trust? Will there be a happily ever after for Daniel and Luce? Hopefully some of these will be answered in book 3.
