Our view
“Fallen” sets a paranormal romance in a reform school and builds it on an appealing idea: two lovers who seem to have met before. Readers often find it slow, with the central mystery held back so long that the action arrives only in the last chapters. Some also find the heroine irritating and Daniel too flawless. It suits patient readers of young adult romance who plan to continue the series.
