The Fallen

By: Ada Hoffmann

Narrated by: Nancy Wu

From the immersive and intoxicating world of The Outside, comes the exhilarating sequel from Philip K. Dick Award-nominated author Ada Hoffmann.

The laws of physics acting on the planet of Jai have been forever upended; its surface completely altered, and its inhabitants permanently changed, causing chaos. Fearing heresy, the artificially intelligent Gods that once ruled the galaxy became the planet’s jailers.

Tiv Hunt, who once trusted these Gods completely, spends her days helping the last remaining survivors of Jai. Everyone is fighting for their freedom, and they call out for drastic action from their savior, Tiv’s girlfriend, Yasira. But Yasira has become deeply ill, debilitated by her Outside exposure, and is barely able to breathe, let alone lead a revolution.

Hunted by the Gods and Akavi, the disgraced angel, Yasira and Tiv must delve further than ever before into the maddening mysteries of their fractured planet in order to save - or perhaps even destroy - their fading world.

Acceptable continuance of the Outside series

Clearly a middle entry in a trilogy, so until I read the final installment, I really don’t want to rate this.

Oof

Lots of emotions, but many felt forced. I struggled to relate or care. I enjoyed the deep honest feelings and descriptions of trauma and neuro-diversity, but it felt like exploring those concepts were heavy handed and so I lost my connection to the characters.

Fallen Angel Lesser Evil?

Love love this sequel to Outside. Definitely worth the wait. can't wait to read how Yasira and Tiv help the gone people and the planet and in the next installment.
