“I was as unburdened as a piece of dandelion fluff, and he was the wind that stirred me about the world.”

I would say this suppose to be included in is it worth reading series to be honest, but since it's not a novella, but counted as book number 5 in the fallen series, i decided to do a normal book review instead.

A Bit About the Series

This series is talking about Luce who's moving to a school for troubled kid and attracted to Daniel also a bit of love triangle slash crush with Cam. Both of them are Angels, Fallen Angels to be exact. Cam who's working with the Hell side, and Daniel who's still the "kind but banished from heaven" kind of Angel. This series took you to a different kind of adventure in each book, some in time traveling, which is fun to me, some in dark fantasy. In the end Luce discover that she's also an angel who didn't choose side like Daniel who got banished and cursed for meet in each lives, and dead when she fall for Daniel in that lives. 

Synopsis

This book set in different story apart from the Daniel and Luce, actually AFTER the Daniel and Luce story, with Cam POV. The Fallen Angel who's taking Lucifer side. He actually start to believe in love lead by the revolution love of Daniel and Luce. Cam remember of his love, Lilith, who once he loved and almost got married, but didn't because he's damned and can't go to temple, which Lilith insist to hold their wedding in temple. They break up and the story end like that.

That glimpse of story of Cam and Lilith was told in the series before, but this book is focusing to that couple. Cam discovered that Lilith isn't in heaven, but in Hell specially created by Lucifer for her where in each live she's a miserable girl, and hate her life. Cam made a deal with Lucifer to make Lilith fall in love with him in 15 days, release Lilith from that Hell, but if he failed he'll be the official Lucifer's right hand deep in the hell. And of course, Lucifer didn't let him do it in fair way, he did interfere Cam's efforts.

My Review

I do understand that because of her heartbreaking history with Cam long time ago made her automatically hate Cam without any reason why, but she just didn't try to understand why and didn't want to listen, quickly jump into a conclusion, which is i think as a bad character. And also the inconsistent happen when Cam is not in the band, then back to the band then not again back and fort because of how easily Lilith to get swayed also annoying to me.

Cam in other hand doesn't really looks like who he is in the whole series (from the first book i mean). Of course he still charming by the appearance in the first book, mysterious, dangerous. In this one he's just miserable, okay, he's deeply in love, but overall he just didn't went out as charming he is in the first book, i didn't feel the spark of him as the main character. I used to like him a lot more than Daniel throughout the whole Fallen series, but this one is not working on me

My Rating

I would rate is nah (go to my rating system for further information if you new for my rating system). I understand why Lauren Kate want to release a book with Cam POV because he is indeed an unique character throughout the fallen series, but i guess she failed to made it shine in this book. Some people said Lauren Kate must move on from this series already and stop adding book to it, i definitely agree for that. Sounds a bit rude, but well... sometimes a series is great left just like that without any additions.

Hello everyone! As the last month of the year coming, i feel it's more appropriate to bring this book tag to you. I got the idea by reading and scrolling through literallyelephant blog  and i think why not? 

So this is how it goes, go to goodreads http://www.goodreads.com/book/popular_by_date/xxxx and just choose the year and it will show you the top 200 famous book released in that year. Well, without further ado, let's dive in!

1. Choose a year and why

I choose 2014, since it's the year where i came back to reading again, and start collecting physical books. I think that's the time where i'm back to become a reader after years of hiatus
 

If you curious about for my list, you can go by clicking here

2. Which books published in that year have you read, or if none, heard of.

 I got to say i'm pretty proud of myself that i've read 13 books from the list. Although it doesn't even count as 10% of the list yet, but the number surprises me. Here are the list and the rating i gave for each of them. Please note that i might have rate it differently if you asked me now.

 

Yep, you can see how my reading taste like by the list already. Well.. like you don't know it already by the list of books i've reviewed recently. Also, there are some books that actually i already read tho but didn't include in this list because it's part of another book. 

These three above are included in another book that released later in 2015 called as Happily Ever After. I don't know why the author released a lot of novellas separately then publish again in collections of all of them. Is it marketing strategy maybe? Anyway, can i count it 16 books then that i've read?

3. Are there any books published in that year that sound interesting and would you read them now?

 I got some already that i want to read, mostly in my TBR right now, i will categorized it four different category, the one that i already have it in my shelf (physically, or in e-book), the one in my maybe list, the one that i used to want to read but i've outgrown them 

4. Most obscure sounding book?

This is a hard word for me since English is not my first language, i googled it and i take it as the most unknown, or the one i've never seen before (If i'm wrong please bear with me). There are a lot, but since it says "the most" i would pick one that i think also sound fun to read

5. Strangest book cover 

 

I hope i don't bore you by saying that i do judge book yg it's cover. A book with just words in the cover? absolutely okay, books with amazing font and abstract art? definitely my type, but book with people in it? i would denitely avoid it, with the whole face in the cover? absolutely no. 

This one is the strangest one i found in the list, or we can call it the one that i won't like at all. By its cover i already know that this one must be a thriller, mystery kind of book. That probably one of the biggest reason why i don't read mystery books, because of the cover. 

 

Well that's a wrap up! I hope this book tag is fun for you to read as much as so much effort i did to edit the picture (believe me, it wasn't that hard, i'm using the paint app lol) anyway i did have fun making it tho. Hopefully i will do more exciting book tag in the future. We'll see!
