Auf Den Schwingen Der Nacht (2000) - Plot & Excerpts
I thought it would be a really good book, that wasnt the case. Ellie is such a predictable character that you can probably guess what reckless thing she'll do next. I just felt that i was reading a cheap rip-off of Evermore and the whole fallen angel concept. Even the fallen series is a much better read. This book has some originalty that did catch my eye but it wasnt that much. I am Being kind by giving this book a 2 rating, in my honest opinion, this book would get a 1. Ellspeth Faneuil has always dreamed she could fly and she also sees glimpses of people’s lives when she touches them. At least she thought they were dreams and ‘hallucinations’ until she met Michael Chase. Ellie has always felt like an outsider, except with her best friend, but she feels an overwhelming sense of connection to Michael. When Michael tells her that her dreams are not dreams, but reality and that she can actually fly, she distrusts of him. She finally comes to believe him, but what are they? Then a stranger arrives, someone who claims to have answers, but is Ellie willing to pay the price for the answers she craves?While I enjoyed the story and the mythology of the fallen angels, which this time includes a bloodlust, I felt like the characters fell a bit flat. Also, the book is YA (which I love),and if it’s being marketed to 12 and up, there is a bit of language barrier. I’m not sure if it’s to set Ellie and others like her apart from the ‘normal’ humans, but there is an old-fashioned feel to the dialogue. There’s not a lot of action, until the very last few chapters, so it can be slow-going for a lot of the book. However, the story is compelling enough to make me want to read the next book.Fallen Angel Series: Fallen Angel (1), Eternity (2)
