The Fallen World by Laura ThalassaMy rating: 5 of 5 stars
The world fell, but love won
First, you should know, I don’t normally care for war romance. I actually downloaded this series without reading the blurb and thought it was going to be about fallen angels. I love reading those books, but to my surprise, I loved this series!!
I fell in love with Serenity almost immediately. Her strength and courage know no bounds. She fights for everything that’s right in the world and doesn’t take no for an answer.
This story takes place in a world not so different from ours. It’s eerie how this could actually be our future. Serenity grows up to be an emissary and is goes to meet with the King to try and forge a peace treaty. She doesn’t know that she was setup to be the gift given to the King in exchange for peace. She becomes the King’s wife and slowly starts to love him.
Unfortunately, peace didn’t come from their union and instead more war breaks out. It becomes Serenity’s mission in life (or death) to bring peace to the world and restore it to how it was when she was a kid, before war broke everything that was good in life.
If I were to grade each book, books 1 and 2 were my favorites. I thought the third book dragged a little in the beginning, but I'm glad I kept going. The ending was worth it. I will say that it did get annoying that people kept taking Serenity and the King kept getting her back.
If you read this, you too will fall in love with these characters. I’m sad letting them go and moving on, but we all have to say goodbye sometimes. Happy reading y’all!!
