Lauren Kate's Fallen novels are a refreshing change from most of the paranormal books that are filling bookshelves across the world these days, given that the stories focus on angels, fallen angels, Nephilim, etc., as opposed to vampires, werewolves, faeries, and the like. That said, I ultimately thought this series would have been better suited as a trilogy. The third book was probably my least favorite of the group -- I would rather have seen the stories of Luce's past lives incorporated across the other three books. This one book that focused on her trip through time to view her past lives with Daniel just got tedious for me.
Overall, I enjoyed the characters. Luce's self-discovery over the course of the four books is really laid out quite well and we see her grow quite a bit. I really enjoyed her as a heroine throughout every book. Daniel, on the other hand, seems sort of pathetic and one-dimensional to me at this point. But in all fairness, I suppose if I had to go through thousands of years of losing the person I loved over and over again, I might be pretty pathetic towards the end, myself. Of course, there are several other angels, Archangels, and Nephilim who are presented as everyday people and it is amusing to read about them in that light and consider the possibility of angels among us. And who can forget Lucifer's alter-ego, Bill the Gargoyle?
Ultimately, I enjoyed the ending, but uh, that synopsis for the fourth book? Not really accurate, in my opinion. I was prepping myself for a major plot twist and was a little disappointed that I got caught up in anticipation over what proved to be nothing. In fact, the ending was basically exactly what I thought would happen from the beginning of the books.
