Never, Ever
Cry …
As I loved the Fallen series by Lauren Kate, I knew I had to
get this because if Fallen was any indication to Lauren Kate’s ability to write
an awesome book – Teardrop had to be just as good if not better.
And it was just as good, if not better. This is the first
book I’ve read which has been a retold version of the Atlantis Myth, obviously I
wasn’t expecting it to be exactly the same, what’s the point in that? So I was
pretty excited about seeing what she could do with it. Granted I don’t know all
that much about Atlantis, but sure lol.
The first thing that drew me in was the cover – I thought it
was beautiful and it captured me immediately. I also loved the one line blurb,
even though there is a description on the inside sleeve, but, like I said with
Awaken, it just draws me in and make me so interested in finding out what it
means and what’s going to happen.
The overall plot of the story was really good. I honestly
didn’t expect that to be the story which made it an even better read – she really
made it interesting and added quite a bit of mystery to the story as well and along with the characters she created, it made it a
really good read.
Eureka and Ander are the main characters – Eureka is kind of closed
off – she doesn’t like to let people get too close to her after what happened
with her mother, but she is also smart, funny and strong and will do what it
takes to protect the ones she loves. Ander is mysterious, strong and really
interesting. He doesn’t reveal too much of himself and that just makes you want
to get to know him more or get him to talk more – which made the story quite
fun in a way – a wee bit of mystery never done any harm.
Overall I really enjoyed this book and I can’t wait to see
what happens in Waterfall, the next instalment of the series :)
