Fallen #4 Rapture

A beautiful cover and a highly anticipating conclusion. Presenting Fallen #4 Rapture by Lauren Kate.

Here is the summary of the book:

The sky is dark with wings . . . And time is running out for Luce and Daniel. In order to stop Lucifer from erasing the past, they must find the place where the Fall began. Only Luce can break the curse, and it is her choice alone that will decide all of their fates. But as Dark Forces gather, great sacrifices will have to be made in this final, epic struggle . . . In the fight for Luce, and for Love, who will win? The astonishing conclusion to the FALLEN series. Heaven can't wait any longer.

My history with the Fallen series - loved the first book, didn't think much about the second or the third book, loved the novella and the finale was totally the best. Rapture, was absolutely a great ending to this series, all the loose ends are tied up and a beautiful and a fitting ending too. So, Luce, Daniel, Cam, Roland, Molly, and the others are on a time sensitive mission. Fallen Angels and Demons have come together to put a stop to Lucifer's mechanization......nobody wants to take the headlong dangerous fall twice and Luce is at the center of it all....by the end of it things definitely become much more clearer than ever......about the curse...about Luce's inability to remember her past lives before and what had really happened with Daniel and why Luce is the one on whom it all depended........definitely a great read.

There is  definitely a surreal awakening among the characters this time. Luce knows what to look for now after her run-ins with her past incarnations, she now knows what Daniel means to her. Daniel on the other hand is as steadfast as ever and a constant support and comfort to Luce whenever she doubts herself. The others provide a constant secondary support towards the flow of the story....all of them necessary in order to maintain the length and the mood.

As far as the religion concept is the series.....well i'm not Christian and i'm don't really prefer religion concepts but since there is angelogy involved (I find the topic......the myths.....the history and the folklore about Angels very fascinating) so I couldn't resist it.

As far as the plot is considered, Lauren Kate exceeds expectations with this marvelous finale. Without making it a huge info dump, she pens a perfect conclusion to this wonder. Every details, every aspects, how the characters go through all the trouble to stop Lucifer in his infernal plans and break the curse. The climax sure gave it a surreal feel of a job well done. A fitting end to the Fallen saga.
