“𝑺𝒂𝒗𝒐𝒓 𝒎𝒆 𝒍𝒂𝒕𝒆𝒓. 𝑹𝒊𝒈𝒉𝒕 𝒏𝒐𝒘—𝑰 𝒘𝒂𝒏𝒕 𝒕𝒐 𝒃𝒖𝒓𝒏.”
This romantasy is not like any I've read before. Although, it's not my first genre to read normally, and it did take me a little while to get into it, I found myself unable to put it down once the world had been built and the characters truly had time to shine.
"𝑰’𝒎 𝒏𝒐𝒕 𝒚𝒐𝒖𝒓 𝒆𝒏𝒆𝒎𝒚. 𝑶𝒏𝒍𝒚, 𝑰 𝒄𝒂𝒏’𝒕 𝒕𝒆𝒍𝒍 𝒚𝒆𝒕 𝒊𝒇 𝒚𝒐𝒖’𝒓𝒆 𝒎𝒊𝒏𝒆. 𝑻𝒉𝒂𝒕 𝒎𝒂𝒌𝒆𝒔 𝒚𝒐𝒖 𝒅𝒂𝒏𝒈𝒆𝒓𝒐𝒖𝒔.”

“You don’t need to wield a weapon to be dangerous. An idea can be just as dangerous, especially if it threatens those who ruthlessly hoard power."
Okay, hold onto your hats for this, but... not since I read the Throne of Glass series have I been so wholeheartedly captivated by a fantasy novel, and fallen so in love with its characters. The range of emotions I experienced throughout this book is testament to the quality of the writing, and the success of the worldbuilding! I adored this sto ...more

I did not expect to LOVE this book the way I did.
The energy between the characters is so well built, and building this while building the world of this book is no mean feat!
The tension between Alula and Nier is perfect - the eternal balance between light and dark, shadow and light... and in their world the layers of lies and deception which spans centuries and Alula must dig deep to find the answers to her true identity and the truths behind the way her society has oppressed his...

“You can and should question everything, little light wielder.”
And I did—right alongside Alula—as this story unravelled every truth she thought she knew.
All the Light that Falls is an epic fantasy woven with gods, fate, and the fragile balance between light and dark. But it’s more than battles and power—it’s about choice. About finding your voice when the world would rather keep you silent.
“My choice, my light, my life.”
At its heart is a mated bond wrapped in forbidden romance—deep, magnetic, an ...more

Alula's dream was to become a Vessel, to carry light. She worked so hard, endured all of Elder Welkin's wrath and teachings.
She feels different than the others, though. As her presentation draws nearer, secrets are revealed and uncovered. She meets Nier, who is from darkness. The Fallen who is opposite from her light. Chaos surrounds Alula as she tries to navigate her power and circumstances.
Tropes:
Chosen one
Fated Mates
Possible triggers:
Parental neglect
Death
Descriptive violence

"I crave your eyes on me."
I loved this book. The world building was great.
The pace of the story and the setting of the scene/info dump was perfectly balanced throughout.
The entire concept felt unique - yet I loved how it was built off the foundations of other stories i.e. The Fallen.
I wouldn't change a thing about this book - while most definitely a slow burn - you can feel the epic set up that this story is already creating with the characters. I absolutely cannot wait to see what comes ...more

This book has me in its grip from the first sentence. The opening chapter is beautiful and sets the story up so well. The characters develop as the story progresses in a way that they get under your skin. It is a slow burn fantasy romance so the lovers take their time but it works with the pacing. There is a huge info dump in the middle with impossible world building thrown at you but outside of this the world is discovered not directed. I want to know what happen to everyone and can’t ...more
