Fallen survival The writing style is clean clear and well polished I never had to reread sentences because of parsing issues I did struggle a little with the complexity of the various POV characters and didn t feel invested in them as much as I felt with Alira Skalar and Crow but this didn t detract from my enjoyment or overall understanding The author does some rather unusual things near the end which I won t explain here to avoid spoilers Let s just say that I look for stories that surprise me and give me something new to think about and this book does both very well The scientific details are realistic and well researched and didn t devolve into needless techno babble And the settings are vivid and sensory And the cultural and linguistic world building for the main species is quite immersive Because this is only book one of a trilogy there s plenty coming So basically I got everything I wanted from a sci fi novel here and I easily recommend it to any adult sci fi fan 478 The whole premise for this book is so freaking cool and creative Just so well written and just awesome Really funfreshengagingedge of your seat sci fi I highly recommend 478 Unique Sci fi with heart. Fallen fantasy baseball I greatly enjoyed Fallen which is a bit tough to define but I think science fiction is a fair category This story is part of a trilogy that promises to be vast in scope with epic implications affecting several planets and races I found the main protagonist Alira easy to root for She s a rebellious shapeshifter of the Unammi species which Drema describes in colorful detail along with their home planet of Iridos Alira is at odds with her species questioning their ways and methods She is a definite non conformist and a fiery spirit which made it easy to latch onto her character Drema writes with a lot of heart and her characters bring emotion to the pages so if that s your thing then you will want to give this a go. Fallen ecofiction books Aside from the internal strife within Alira s own species the Founder s Seed universe is a harsh one with different several factions featuring cruel commanders Which brings me to the topic of villains This story has two great ones Crow and Skalar affiliated with before mentioned factions I love a great villain don t judge me and Drema really delivers this area in spades which helped to pull me into the story Skalar and Crow are both repulsive despicable and at the same time amusing to read. Fantasy fall wallpaper The writing and editing are all clean and polished For the most part the story is easy to follow though it can be a bit tricky to keep track of the various locations and factions in this series It is worth it though as the story concludes with a beautiful final image that I think sets up the trilogy perfectly. Fallen kingdom Bottom line If you re into epic sci fi and are looking for something unique and full of heart then I d highly recommend Fallen I m eagerly awaiting the subsequent releases in The Founder s Seed trilogy 478 Fallen is a modern type science fiction novel There is an underlying message which becomes pretty predictable though Deoraich does a good job adding some nuance to it through the story The story starts slow and I admit I had a hard time getting into the story as the hook didn t happen for some time and the main character is an alien creature They have an enhanced way to communicate via changes in light that emits from the skin It s a cool concept though I had a struggled when I envisioned it especially during key moments as the different colors meant different emotions or reactions Other readers might have a better handle on this but I felt since I didn t see all the colors and didn t know what they all meant I felt as if I was missing things The story itself is good and her world building was well done For modern science fiction fans many will like the novel For classic sci fi fans I suspect they might not as much Still the story was well written and the main character was compelling 478
