Synopsis: In the Lucen city dwell the descendants of Righteous and Fallen angels. Kept hidden from the rest of Earth and governed directly by Heaven, each descendant is given a chance to prove themself loyal to Heaven, and obtain salvation. For most, the task is encouraging and fair, but for David, it’s devastating.
David Ghent has waited twenty-one years to fulfill
a prophecy foretelling the destruction of Lucifer’s power on Earth and Heaven,
saving himself and the entire world from Hell’s power. His training is complete,
the city prepared.
As the battle commences, the city’s most beloved
daughter, Layla, suddenly appears at the Hellgate. David is then faced with an
impossible choice: fulfill the prophecy, or save her
life.
The consequences David faces after choosing Layla
force him to question his entire life, and his loyalty to Heaven. As the
aftermath of failure unfolds, David discovers that the real battle against
Lucifer has just begun.
This book took me forever to actually get through! It felt like it every time I sat down to continue reading that I only got about 5-10% more through it and that sort of annoyed me but I have to be honest and say that I loved this book! I also never forgot what part of the book I stopped at! The plot was something that I probably wouldn't optionally choose to read but when I read the synopsis after Maren asked me to review it I decided to give it a try and I am glad that I did! It is always a surprise when you read a book that you aren't sure about so I decided to go out of my comfort zone with this book! The plot of this book focused on Heven and Hell and about angels! Now I know that some minds go to the Hush, Hush series by Becca Fitzpatrick when people mention angels and I have to be honest and say that my mind didn't go there at all so I was very relieved! The Faith and Fate of David Ghent is in its own world! The plot had a lot in it so sometimes I found it a bit overwhelming but once I got used to it I managed to get a grasp of it! The characters were great! David was the main character and he went through such a massive change in this book! At the beginning he was a bit childish and a bit immature but by the end of the book he was a man in love I loved Layla! I think that she should have stood up to David for how he treated her at the start of this book but then she really liked him so I can understand why she didn't! She also grew so much in this book as well! The other characters were amazing as well and they all added so much to the story! I enjoyed that the point of views switched between about five or so different people which I though was going to annoy me and it did at the start but after I got used to it I really enjoyed going into other characters heads! I can completely understand why this book is a standalone as the ending was perfect! Big thank you to Maren for providing me with a copy of The Faith and Fate of David Ghent and also for asking me to be on her Blog Tour!
