Review: Let the Sky Fall by Shannon Messenger

Let the Sky Fall (Let the Sky Fall 1)
By: Shannon Messenger
Publisher: Simon Pulse
Release Date: March 5, 2013
Genre/Age: YA Paranormal
Pages:416
Source: ARC from Around the World ARC Tours

Seventeen-year-old Vane Weston has no idea how he survived the category five tornado that killed his parents. And he has no idea if the beautiful, dark-haired girl who's swept through his dreams every night since the storm is real. But he hopes she is.
Seventeen-year-old Audra is a sylph, an air elemental. She walks on the wind, can translate its alluring songs, and can coax it into a weapon with a simple string of commands. She's also a guardian - Vane's guardian - and has sworn an oath to protect Vane at all costs. Even if it means sacrificing her own life.
When a hasty mistake reveals their location to the enemy who murdered both of their families, Audra's forced to help Vane remember who is he. He has a power to claim - the secret language of the West Wind, which only he can understand. But unlocking his heritage will also unlock the memory Audra needs him to forget. And their greatest danger is not the warriors coming to destroy them - but the forbidden romance that's grown between them.

Let the Sky Fall has a wonderfully original paranormal twist. I’m a huge fan of paranormal stories, but after a while it kind of starts to feel like you’re reading the same thing over and over again, so I was delighted that Let the Sky Fall was something new. Everything from the setting to the ability to communicate with the wind felt like a breath of fresh air (har har… sorry, couldn’t help it! :P).

Shannon Messenger is an amazing storyteller, and I could really feel everything coming alive from the pages. Her descriptions were absolutely fantastic and if you’ve ever had even the tiniest desire to have the ability to fly (and haven’t we all!), this book will definitely make you long for sylphs to be real.

My one issue with the book is that it seemed overly long and it kind of felt like not that much happened, considering the length. That said, I’m definitely looking forward to the next book (I’m assuming this is the beginning of a series!).

If you’re looking for something a little different in your paranormal novels, you definitely don’t want 

to miss Let the Sky Fall!

  1. Woah! I'm really enjoying the template/theme of this site. It's simple, yet effective.

    A lot of times it's tough to get that "perfect balance" between usability and visual appearance. I must say you've done a very good job with this.
    In addition, the blog loads extremely fast for me on Firefox.
    Outstanding Blog!
