Review:


Rise and Fall was a great sequel to Awaken. I love how the title fit perfectly with the book, much like Awaken fit with book one. In book one, Coralie was kept in the dark for so long before she finally understood her past and heritage and was awakened. In Rise and Fall, she learned so much about herself and the people around her and attempted to take some control and protect the people she loved.
I enjoyed watching Coralie grow and gain new abilities. I liked her drive and spirit. I also enjoyed having more time with Alex in the picture because I like his character quite a bit and his backstory was definitely interesting. I felt like I didn’t get enough time with Court and Coralie because of all of the events going on around the Warriors, but the time that I got with Alex and Criston sort of made up for the lack of Court. I loved the events that unfolded in the story, too. There were some moments when I couldn’t seem to get into the narrative and I felt like the story could have had a better flow or been more descriptive in terms of the surroundings and new gifts.
I definitely recommend Rise and Fall as a thrilling sequel to Awaken and a pivotal part of the Empyreal series. The ending was riveting and I can’t wait for the next installment! I love the new covers of the books, too. I think they represent the story a bit better and are more appealing in general.
