Falling Sky by Rajan Khanna
4.0
Just got done with a reread. Even better the second time around! I didn’t find it at all slow this time through. I now have the sequel so guess what I’m diving into next?!!
——————
I loved this world, it is so unique - unlike anything I have read before.
The prose was BEAUTIFUL. Not as good as THE REAPERS ARE THE ANGELS by Alden Bell (my benchmark for BEAUTIFUL PROSE - seriously read it. You would never think a zombie novel can be so PRETTY!) but this is a worthy second place.
I found it to be a little slow at times, but I think that was more to do with me reading faster paced books alongside this one and it suffered a little because of it. Saying that, however if I had read this from start to finish without stopping for other books I don’t know if I would have noticed.
Another thing I loved about this book was the way that the author made Ben’s airship into another character. I got choked up when ****** happened and normally a flying blimp doesn’t engender those feelings in me.
So if you are looking for something a little steampunk, and a lot different with some Zombies (Ferals) thrown in, pick this up!
4 Stars - This book was awesome. I loved the way it was written, although I found it a little slow at times. Looking forward to a reread soon.
