Book Review of Torment (Fallen, Bk 2)

Torment (Fallen, Bk 2)
atneamus avatar reviewed on


Torment made is extremely difficult for me to like Daniel as a character. The "Love" between Luce and Daniel seems so superficial, mostly because every conversation they have ends in an fight because Daniel refuses to let her in. So of course(SPOILER START), Luce ends up having feelings for someone else, who she actually enjoys talking to. And because of this she is made out to be a total cheat, when in reality there isn't much to like about Daniel besides his pretty wings. She constantly makes comments like "It was wonderful up until the moment he opened his mouth." This does not strike me as a relationship worth fighting for(SPOILER END). I do enjoy the segments of the book that involve Luce and her friends finding out about her past, as well as the concept of angels. However, whenever the Fallen series attempts to make a romantic impact between Daniel and Luce, the story just falls flat.
