Editoral Review
Fall by Scarlett Dawn is a thrilling paranormal romance novel that takes readers into a world of supernatural beings. Scarlett Dawn is an American author of romance, fantasy, and young adult fiction.
She is best known for her supernatural and dystopian series- Cold Mark, Blood Tree, and The Vampire Crown. Fall was first published on July 16, 2014.
Primarily targeted towards young adult readers, this novel has elements that will interest readers of all ages. In Fall, readers are taken into an intricate world of supernatural beings.
The novel follows the story of a young woman named Ember who, after a tragic twist of fate, is forced to live in a world entirely different from anything she has ever known. She discovers that she possesses remarkable abilities that have been hidden from her all her life.
She must quickly learn to harness these powers as she finds herself in the center of an ongoing war between the Fae and Vampire kingdoms. Dawn’s writing style is engaging, with vivid descriptions that make the story come to life.
The characters are well developed and have unique, multidimensional personalities that make them feel real. The pacing of the book is perfect, with just the right amount of action, suspense, and romance.
The plot structure of the book is well thought out and expertly executed, making it almost impossible for readers to put the book down. The author does an excellent job of exploring themes of love, loyalty, and betrayal.
As readers navigate Ember’s journey into the supernatural world, they are drawn into a rich and complex world that provides a sense of escape and wonder that is very appealing. Dawn creates a world with its unique lore, political structures, and social hierarchies that speak to larger and more significant issues.
However, the most significant weakness of the book is that it can be formulaic and predictable at times. It follows a standard young adult romance trope, where the main characters fall in love despite being in the middle of a chaotic war between supernatural kingdoms.
Despite this, the book still manages to be entertaining and worth the read. In comparison to other works in the genre, Fall stands out with its exceptional world-building and character development.
It can be compared to novels like Twilight by Stephanie Meyer and A Court of Thorns and Roses by Sarah J. Mass.
The similarities between these novels are that they are all paranormal romance novels that present readers with supernatural kingdoms and warring factions. Fall by Scarlett Dawn is a fascinating paranormal romance novel.
It ticks all the boxes for readers looking for an entertaining read about the supernatural world. It’s an engaging novel with an exciting plot that is sure to keep readers turning pages until the very end.
I highly recommend Fall to young adults and anyone who enjoys supernatural fantasy novels. It could be a perfect pick for those who enjoyed Twilight and A Court of Thorns and Roses.
On a scale of 1-10, I would give this book an eight, having exceptional writing, well-developed characters, and a gripping storyline.
