Guest Post by Erika

Before I go into anything, I would like to thank Gina, for
inviting me to guest post. I am delighted to be here today and be a part of the
Fallen Series by: Lauren Kate book discussion. In short, I’ve been a fan of the
series, since the first Fallen ARC arrived at my door all those years ago. You
can find all those reviews on my blog, www.moonlightbookreviews.com. My
guest post today is going to be free of any sort of spoiler, and plot synopsis.
While I love paranormal romance novels, it takes a truly
unique one to grab my attention to read the whole series. It’s the setting that
grabs me and what makes me truly love the series.
When I think of the scene’s that are most important in
Fallen, my mind wanders to the Cemetery. It is sunken into the ground a bit and
overgrown in my mind. There are dark gothic mausoleums, grave stones and
statues. There is something desolate and remote that draws my mind to the
scenes. That brings me to my main point.
When a setting is so well integrated and beautifully
described. I can’t help but think what the book would be without the cemetery
component. We wouldn’t have seen Daniel’s true identity fully revealed, or
glimpsed the battle through Daniel’s eyes. Everything in book one in the series
centers around this which in the end makes it the most important place in the
novel.
The best part of reading a novel is when it carries you away
too far off places. It makes life easier when you can escape the rough parts of
reality and high school and enter another world. With Fallen I was taken to
different exotic places. That wasn’t where the traveling ends though. We get to
see different time periods and how all of Luce’s past lives fit into them.
Thank you Lauren Kate for taking me away!
