Genre: New Adult, Romance, Paranormal
SYNOPSIS
They say some things must be broken before they can be fixed. But when Michaela hoped to cast doubt on the Aethere, she never thought things would fall apart like they did. Now the Aethere have turned their attention to the End of Days, and they won’t rest until they obtain the tools of Earth's final destruction: the Seven Seals.
The world is falling apart at the seams, and Michaela finds herself clutching the threads. She alone understands what will happen if the Aethere ever get the seals, and it’s the one thing she will fight to the death to prevent if she has to.
Even amidst the devastation on Earth, Michaela struggles to restore her faith in Gabriel. Together, they'll need to decide if their love is strong enough to erase the line she had fought so hard to draw between holy and fallen.
Michaela said she wanted a war, but when the End is looming, what will she fight for?
After
2 months of waiting, I finally got to read The Lost One! I was so excited when
I received an eARC. I mean who wouldn’t be? The ending of the first book, The
Lost One, just killed me. And let me tell you this, The Lost One was so worth
the wait.
The
book starts off with a chapter in Iris’s POV. We get to know more about how she
and Isaac met. After that, we go back to the present. The aethere wants the
Seven Seals, and knowing what would happen if the seals get broken, Michaela
prevents them from getting it, so the inevitable happens: war.
Once
again, I was instantly drawn to the story. Though I did stop reading this book
for about 3 days. Not because it was boring, but more because of this stupid
reading slump I’m in. Anyway, the story is even more action-packed than the
first one. I wasn’t even halfway through the book, yet so many events have
happened.
I
really enjoyed reading from Michaela’s POV. Unlike in the Lost One, she’s now braver
and tougher. We finally get to see that side of her when she was the General of
Heaven. The only problem I had with her is her mood swings with Gabriel. Like
the next thing she hates him, and the next thing she’s kissing her. But it wasn’t
really that much of a huge problem because it’s understandable since Gabriel’s
a fallen.
And
then there’s my favorite character—Clark. I just love him. He’s so hilarious,
and I’m so glad he found his match. I’m so happy for him right now. And also a
bit jealous of that girl..
The
only thing I didn’t like about the book is some scenes felt rushed. For
example, the last part. We all know him as someone who’s powerful, so wasn’t his death a
little too…. effortless?
Nonetheless,
I still enjoyed this book, so I’m giving it 4 stars. I highly recommend not
only this book, but the entire trilogy even though the third book hasn’t been
released yet. (I already know it’ll be as good as its predecessors, maybe even
better.) From the very first paragraph of the first book, I was instantly drawn
into the world Meg created. I couldn’t stop reading it and by the time I was
finished, I just wanted more. So yes, I need The Only One.. now.
