Just finished reading Torment - a Fallen Novel by Lauren Kate two hours ago. Where Fallen leaves off and Torment begins you are immediately sucked in. It took me four days over the long Thanksgiving holiday weekend to read this book but only because of my family life. I yearned for this book every waking second ... just longing for the next free minute I would have to pick it up and dive right back in.
Lauren Kate's character development is quick and you just love all of her characters, you become immediately invested in the outcome of their lives and where their story is going as it pertains to Daniel and Luce as well as stand alone. She could easily make a book out every single one of her characters and make you want to read it. Miles and Shelby are two of the new characters we get introduced to Torment and you just feel for them, their story, their new friendship with Luce. They want to help her or protect her, whatever they have to do. They become a sort of team when Luce feels completely isolated and babied by Daniel.
Luce and Daniel's story is exhilarating and severely frustrating (dare I say, tormenting ...) throughout this entire book. I was literally shaking my head every single time they have a hasty argument. I just wanted to reach into the book and shake them both senseless but that's just a testament to how wrapped up in their story you become.
This was a gripping and beautiful book from start to finish and I'm already 100 pages into Passion the next book in the series.
