Is it Love? Or is it just the Curse that brings us Together?

What if you find your Soul Mate... 

At the wrong time?

I'm done with the third Fallen book  - Passion by Lauren Kate and some of my questions had been answered! 

Before anything else, I could not promise that this is going to be SPOILER-FREE so you have to proceed at your own risk. And also, I'm not writing this to criticize how the novel was written or something like that. I'm not really entirely after how it was written, I'm more after the story. So if I'm praising it too much, that's because I love the Fallen series!

Until your soul is settled in a new life, 

Daniel's whole existence is a kind of torture.

I love, love Passion  so much because it told me what I've been wanting to read from the Fallen series - the past lives of Daniel and Luce. In this third installment, you could really feel the love between Daniel and Luce, especially Daniel's. Usually, I would hate books like this one because of the super-mushy and everyday-is-love content - both the main characters were greatly head-over-heels with one another. Actually I think that was one of the reasons why I hated Twilight. But while I was reading Passion, there was no hate or the feeling of  "eew, so much romance" thing in me... Maybe because I love the Fallen series so much and I love Daniel and Luce so much I can read whatever is in it. LoL. 

"I'm the one who bursts into flames."

"And he's the one who's left alone. 

The age-old question: Which is worse?"

Anyway, I have no comment until the character of Bill, the Scale and what he can do was introduced. I told myself, "What is he, Luce's fairy godmother in the form of a gargyole?" I actually somehow questioned his inclusion because it felt out of place for me. Luce could have discovered cleaving on her own and stole clothes from those era so she could fit in. Maybe Bill wasn't really needed. I thought he was just a guide. Until my big strashot question was answered. I was like "Maybe he really has to be there to answer some questions." Maybe there are still more to come that only Bill could do. Until Bill transformed and finally, finally revealed who he is. I was like "Oooh, Lucifer, why not?" That was when I finally understood why Bill was included. The real antagonist should appear now. So the tailored black suit man in the racetrack was him.

His love flowed without breaking, without stopping. 

Whereas Luce's love was wiped clean with every death, 

Daniel's grew over time, across all eternity.

Luce's quest should have been to find the loophole to end their curse. But what really happened is that by visiting and cleaving with her past lives, instead of finding the real solution, she just realized and understood how Daniel love her so much. I actually thought that it would be her who would discover the answer but the only thing that happened is her, loving Daniel, doubting him, understanding him, loving him again, giving up hope and then finally, believing in their love. Yes, Luce found a way to end it by using the starshot but it wasn't actually the answer. And it was Daniel who actually found it.

I will never give up on you. Even if it takes forever.

While I was reading Chapter 20 - Journey's End, I got really excited. I don't know why but I really like that chapter -  aside from revealing who cursed them and why, and finding the answer how to end it, I love the story of the Throne, Lucifer, the angels choosing sides - the Fall... Maybe I just really love angels.

I'll always choose you.

Every single lifetime, I'll choose you. 

Just as you have always chosen me. Forever.

Since Passion ended that way, I'm expecting a war among angels or something like that in Rapture. Maybe the Elders of Zhsmaelim and the Outcasts would be back in there in action.

I will wait for you as long as it takes. 

I will love you every moment across time.

I was re-reading my post about Torment- I''ll show you how angels dance - in my previous blog and when I got to the part were I listed some questions, I was smiling because finally, I have answers for some of them! Especially the big starshot question which had been bugging me ever since. LoL. 

Fly me away.

I'm having doubts if the end would be a happy one. No matter how true their love is, Daniel is still an angel and Luce is a mortal. Would it be happy OR/BUT heartbreaking? Would the ending be sweet AND/OR sad?

To the soul of the one true thing he loved the most, 
wherever she was. 

I now reaffirm my choice: I choose Lucinda over everything. 

And I will until the end.  

Anyway, I have to wait for ANOTHER YEAR for the big Angel War!!!

Her choice then  will be your redemption 

or the final seal on your punishment.
