alexblackreads 's review for:
Fallen
by Karin Slaughter
I'm running out of things to say about Karin Slaughter's books in these reviews. I've written so many in the past month and a half, but I generally feel the same way. Her writing style is great and so easy to get into. Her stories are fascinating. I'm always drawn in and finish her books in just a day or two because I'm so utterly engrossed.
The main weak point for me is the characters. Her characters are generally unlikable, which isn't necessarily a bad thing. In many cases I think it's worked in her favor and been my favorite part of the book. But in this book, the mystery centers around Faith Mitchell, partner to main character Will Trent, and her mother's kidnapping. I find Faith to be quite annoying whenever she has a large role (except Fractured, which was her first appearance). Since the whole mystery was about Faith's family, it kind of grated on me. I didn't think this book was bad, but I don't like/care about most of her main characters, so I wasn't super fond of the mystery centering entirely around them.
My least favorite of the series so far, but I still read this book in a day and still enjoyed it. Definitely worth it if you're reading the whole series, though.
