Fallen was an interesting read. It wasn't riveting but it's one of those YA books you just have to read. I liked it very much, including the cover. The cover is just gorgeous. It's amazing. I'm in love with it. It's actually the first thing that prompted me into reading it in the first place. It suits the story line as well. 
 The characters were okay. I did feel Luce was just another Mary-Sue. She doesn't have any real quirks that give her some real depth. Daniel was the same. Sure, Lauren Kate has described him perfectly, looks-wise, but I know nothing of his personality other than the really obvious characteristics. I felt the minor characters were really cool though- Arriane was easy to connect with, Gabbe was not very difficult to understand and Penn is that nice friend that everybody has. Cam was lovely; I was rooting for him throughout the novel even though I was 99.9% sure Luce was going to end up with Daniel . Those Mary-Sues always do. But I love betting for the underdog. 
 One thing that annoyed me was the love triangle; it was completely unnecessary. If Luce and Daniel were meant to be true loves, and meant to be like what he said when he revealed that he was an angel, what's Cam there for? To add in spice and temptation? . Love triangles are popping up in every book I read lately with an alarming rate. Some work out fine and some not so much. 
 Other than that, it was all great. I'm looking forward to reading the next book.
