Customer Reviews

Excellent Story

In the fantasy novel Fallen, Tim Lebbon tells a great story that I felt compelled to keep reading long after I'd grown disgusted with the characters. I wanted them all to die. Unfortunately, that would have left no one to propel a truly interesting story forward. And Lebbon is such a good story-teller that I wanted to see how Fallen would end. A group of money-driven and fame-driven characters go through an intricate and detailed journey in a world of dangers and double-crossers to get to their goal. I don't want to give it away, but the ending came a little quickly. The good news is I felt one of the characters got exactly what she deserved. Kudos for Lebbon. From Fantasy Author Sandy Lender

Fantastic (in all senses) series

I just finished reading Dusk, Dawn, and Fallen and found the series brilliant in its development of people, places, and dramatic situations. Superb speculative fiction, it resonates for me with real-world horrors and wonders.

Suspenseful and Relentlessly Entertaining

I highly recommended Tim Lebbon's Fallen. Once Ramus and Nomi set off for the Uncharted Lands, and the mystery of what they may find begins to be explored, the book for me became impossible to put down. I, too, needed to discover why the divide was there. I had to find out what was being hidden. During the suspenseful journey, I loved the way Lebbon created a believable world, filled with creatures and entities original and often horrifying. It is NOT the best fantasy novel ever written, but if you are a fantasy fan, and want a solid, well written, well paced, entertaining novel with elements of horror, dark fantasy, and dark revelations, I highly recommend this book.

fascinating quest fantasy

Four millennium before the DUSK occurred, Noreela sends forth intrepid explorers into unknown territories. These brave souls expanded the nation's glory and affluence on all sides except the south. There voyagers ran up against the Great Divide that ranges so high its top is hidden somewhere in the clouds above. Of those who have tried to scale the Great Divide, none has come back to tell the tale until now. Ten claims to have done this with his proof being an ancient parchment. Cancer stricken Ramus Rheel has always competed against his friendly rival wealthy adventuress Nomi Hyden to be the first to reach the clouds and beyond and return to tell the tale though Ten has made that claim. For Ramus besides wanting the mantle of the greatest voyager ever, this is probably his last escapade; for Nomi wearing the greatest mantle is everything. As they make the trek together accompanied by Serian soldiers, they go past the line where no information is known except Ten's questionable ramblings There they run into the "home" of one of the ancient Sleeping Gods and they soon find themselves fighting to live to tell their saga. The latest Noreela fantasy thriller (see DAWN) is an exhilarating adventure tale into the unknown in which fans will want to trek up the Great Dive alongside the exploring Voyagers. The story line is fast-paced, but it is the fully developed lead duo that makes the escapades seems genuine especially in the encampment of the Sleeping God who "awakens" to the intrusion. Tim Lebbon provides a fascinating quest fantasy with a different spin to the quest as a consequence of their actions is the need to the save the world endeavor Harriet Klausner
