Ramblings (Review):
Really do you need any other words after a gif of two adorable minions? can anything else describe awesomeness better than that still here are a few words; This book was so good I am at a loss of words, perfect in every way but the best thing about this book was that it was completely original ! No vampires, werewolves, wizards, superheroes, fallen angels or demigods not that I don't like any of these but I had gotten tired reading books based on them and originality when combined with a good plot always wins so of course this book turned out to be amazing. The concept of sylphs or air elemental isn't completely new but still it's sufficiently original and frankly I haven't read a book like this yet. Let The Sky Fall is first person narrative with respect to Audra and Vane. Both of them are quite amazing and complex characters with intriguing back stories. Audra is a strong feisty girl but not invincible ,basically no one is all powerful in this book all characters have there limitations and that is what makes this book so great. There also a depth to the characters that is rarely found in YA novels.
“We were two broken, incomplete people. Now we're one. No one will ever understand me the way she will. No one will ever understand her the way I will.”

This book was MIND BLOWING!
This book was MIND BLOWING!
There is sufficient amount of humour, romance, and suspense mixed within the plot. The story is great and a perfect page tuner with a reliable plot. There are a few things tough that had to be more descriptive and detailed specially the ending, there was nothing wrong with it but it was a little confusing. Overall it was an amazing book and I would recommend every YA/Fantasy lover to read it.
P.S. I can't wait for the next one !!! Let the Storm Break (Let the Sky Fall, #2)
Hi Rimsha! I came across your blog through goodreads, so I wanted to stop by and say hello! I am now following your blog!
ReplyDeleteI've come across "Let the Sky Fall" quite a few times, but haven't tried reading it yet. But after reading your great review, I might just have to give it a chance. It's hard to find YA literature that feel fresh and original. But this one sounds like it stands out from the rest.
Thanks for the review! Feel free to stop by my blog sometime!
Best Wishes,

Oh you should really read it it's amazing and so orignal !!! Different even tough the concept of air elementals and sylphs isn't totally unique but considering how many vampires, werewolves, wizards and demigods YA novels are out there it's fairly orignal.

Good to know, hope you like it as much as me. Happy reading :)
DeleteI read Let the Sky Fall last year, and it was amazing! It really was so original and interesting, and I like the concept of sylphs. Audra and Vane were great characters, complex and not to invincible.
ReplyDeleteI know right they are so amazing <3 can't wait for Let the Storm Break :)
