Fallen is a modern-type science fiction novel. There is an underlying message, which becomes pretty predictable though Deoraich does a good job adding some nuance to it through the story.

The story starts slow, and I admit I had a hard time getting into the story, as the “hook�� didn’t happen for some time, and the main character is an alien creature. They have an enhanced way to communicate via changes in light that emits from the skin. It’s a cool concept, though I had a struggled when I envisioned it, especially during key moments, as the different colors meant different emotions or reactions. Other readers might have a better handle on this, but I felt since I didn’t see all the colors and didn’t know what they all meant, I felt as if I was missing things.

The story itself is good, and her world building was well done.

For modern science fiction fans, many will like the novel. For classic sci-fi fans, I suspect they might not as much. Still, the story was well written and the main character was compelling.
