THE FALLEN PRINCE opens a few days after the events in The
Marked Son, as Dylan struggles more than ever to fit in the
human world with his new, uncontrollable powers that
endanger everyone around him. He and Kera also have their
hands full, thanks to the weakened barrier between the human
world and Teag, leaving deadly creatures free to cross.When
Dylan's power threatened to reveal his true identity to the
humans in town, even his loved ones were on edge, wanting to
keep him safe while fearing for their own lives.
I read the first book in this series on my own and really
liked this series and the second one just made me like it
more. Something I didn't like was how Dylan constantly
pitied himself and whined internally but we still suffer it
because the book was written in first-person. I also hated
how Kera didn't trust him enough and kept secrets from him,
thinking ignorance would keep him safe. With Kera I felt
like she gave off to much attitude to Dylan but at the same
time felt like maybe he deserved to get so much attitude
from her because she choose him over her family. The only
other thing I disliked about this book is at times the story
line is a little hard to follow and I felt like I had to
keep going back to make sure I knew what was happening. I
don't normally read paranormal but have read some
lately and the writing style and story lines are
different then what I'm used to reading.
I absolutely loved
the character of Dylan in the first book and felt like he
only got stronger in the second. Shea Berkley did a great
job with the characters and with the overall story. THE
FALLEN PRINCE is
a great story with twists and turns that kept me on my toes.
Anybody who reads YA paranormal will definitely like this
story.
There is a magical realm that exists alongside the human
realm, but it wasn’t always so. The firsts are beings who
were created to nurture the land. The world was split into
two realms, and the firsts were allowed to redeem
themselves.
Sadly, the majority continued with their
self-indulgent behavior to the point where one of their own,
a king, became so obsessed with power, he was secretly
banished by the court in hopes his absence would calm the
masses. But a spark of madness was ignited and not even the
lost king's absence could curtail what he set in motion.
