Her trauma about her past and her mother’s death felt realistically presented. Oh, and can’t forget a dead mother to give her motivation! And yet, I really enjoyed the writing and I loved Aileana’s character. There’s a forbidden romantic interest and of course the guy that she should end up with but won’t because that would be boring. The first book feels familiar to many books I’ve read–a young girl is a chosen one, she’s different from other girls and prefers hunting to wearing complicated gowns and attending balls. I wasn’t sure what I was expecting when I first picked up this series, but I can tell you I was not expecting it to go where it did. But soon, as she comes to herself, she and her friends try for one last gambit to save the world as they know it–find the Book of Remembrance and use it to turn back time to before the apocalypse began. ![]() What’s left of the world is in chaos as Aileana awakens in a muddle of confusion, little more than a mindless killer of Fae. The Fallen Kingdom picks up right where The Vanishing Throne has left off. The Fallen Kingdom by Elizabeth May is the final book in her Falconer Trilogy, a historical YA series set in Victorian Scotland featuring a young girl that is born fated to hunt down and kill the Fae. ![]()
