I felt like they were treating her like a glass figure and and how she should always be careful. It was really frustrating hear the same dynamic between the characters in regards to saving Luce and wanting to protect her from deliberately knowing something she is supposed to find out on her own. I really liked the story I think it was well written but the whole playing blind victim and the 'oh save me' thing was actually a bit much. Now as for the story, it was good BUT I did expected to be a little different from the first buuuttttt it wasn't. The way she changes her voice to every character in a way that you know who it is and her ability to change to the next is amazing. So much so, that I’m intrigued to find out what happens next, something which I couldn’t envision myself thinking at the end of book one.I loved the narrator of the book I think she's very talented and she manages to pull off every single character distinctively and beautifully. However, it was certainly more enjoyable than Fallen to read, and the end really set up the third book in the series nicely. It doesn’t make it mysterious, only confusing. Parts of the book were still slow-going in places, and still there is stuff going on which is alluded to but never explained. This time round it is Luce’s hippy roommate Shelby. Again, it is her friend who I am more interested in as a character. I’m still not a big fan of Luce – I think her attitude is all wrong and she just comes across as a really selfish person on occasion. And I’m sort-of glad they did, because I enjoyed Torment more than the previous instalment and I wouldn’t have known that. The covers pulled me in and persuaded me to buy them. I know you want to question everything, but sometimes it pays to just have a little faith.Īfter struggling to enjoy reading the first book in the series, I don’t know if I would have read the second, Torment, only I had already bought it when I purchased Fallen.

We can’t always understand them, but we have to trust in them.

Sometimes beautiful things come into our lives out of nowhere. What if Daniel’s version of the past isn’t true? Is it really their destiny to be together? Or is Luce actually meant to be with somebody else? But the more she discovers, the more she suspects that Daniel is hiding something.

During their separation, Luce learns about her mysterious past lives. Now they are forced apart again, to protect Luce from the Outcasts – immortals who want her dead. It took Lucinda an eternity to find her beloved angel, Daniel. Torment is the second book in the Fallen series by Lauren Kate.
