TEEN: The Fallen 1: The Fallen and Leviathan - Thomas E Sniegoski

Release Date:

BOOK BLURB:

Any title that delivers value for money is something we love to read. After all it’s a twofer (two books for the price of one) which, if the title lives up to the premise, is something that delivers some reading pleasure time.

What is apparent to me, upon first reading, is that the author has an almost comic book like writing style, it delivers from the beginning and thrusts the reader to the heart of the matter in very short shrift. If you love this type of cut and thrust then you’ll get a lot of pleasure as the author, then skilfully develops the tale by expanding and improving upon the angel mythos, which, rather than keeping them pure and ethereal, has allowed vices to creep into their personalities like greed, prejudice and anger. It’s quirky and whilst this is the first two stories of the quartet the second two are also now available as a twofer, so essentially you can get all four titles for just over a tenner (depending where you shop.) That’s serious value for money.
