It also really helps deepen the storyline, without becoming overly complicated, and overall adds a lot to the book. While not necessarily a plot point, this functions really well as a plot driver, and adds a lot of suspense.
Because of this, there’s an interesting dynamic of not quite knowing who you think is right, or who is actually out to destroy the world. From leagues of humans who’ve been hunting vampires for centuries, to multiple conflicting vampire organisations, there are a lot of sides to be on. There are some major players in the game, aside from the Corrupter. There are some really interesting vampire characters too, highlighting how even though they’re separate from humans, they’re not all the same, which was a really cool concept. They all had roles in the book, not just for the plot but also for themselves. It never felt like there were too many characters to keep track of, especially since they were all quite different, and while I wish we had seen more of certain characters (Hope, specifically, and also Adriana’s grandmother Ximena), that wouldn’t have worked out with the plot. There’s also a wide range of side characters, from Adriana, Auggie’s best friend, and her crush Hope, to Daphne, Auggie’s maths tutor, and the various vampires.
There’s a little bit of a disjunction between his age and the things he does, and while this wasn’t a huge problem, it did kind of disrupt my reading at times. Now, my main point of aggravation with this book is actually Auggie’s age, and know that I’m speaking as someone who was a sixteen year old not that long ago. He was also a very interesting combination of Chosen One, reluctant hero, and conduit for the antagonist, which was really cool to read about, and even though he was all these things he was also very much still Auggie. He’s got a strong voice and a distinct personality, making him an enjoyable POV to follow, and he definitely felt like the main character of the story. He’s kind of confused for a chunk of the book, but it’s a very understandable situation to be confused in. The Fell of Dark is a little bit like one of those rollercoasters in the dark, where you’re never quite sure what the next turn will be, but it’s also a really enjoyable book in so many ways.Īuggie is a very relatable main character. This review is actually surprisingly hard to write there are many things I want to write about, but I’m also tempted to just keysmash and hope that conveys my messages well enough. Disclaimer: I received an advanced review copy of this book from the publisher in exchange for an honest review.
