For Mage Alex Verus, everything is on the line in the tenth urban fantasy novel from the nationally bestselling author of Marked. Once Alex Verus was a diviner trying to live quietly under the radar. Now he's a member of the Light Council who's found success, friends . . . and love. But it's come with a price-the Council is investigating him, and if they find out the truth, he'll lose everything. Meanwhile, Alex's old master, Richard Drakh, is waging a war against the Council, and he's preparing a move that will bring Alex and the life mage, Anne, under his control. Caught between Richard and the Council, Alex's time is running out. To protect those he cares for, Alex will have to become something different. Something darker . . .

A great read

Fantastic addition to the series. All the old characters are back, there is revenge, reflection and mayhem in this roaring tale. The character development of Alex continues, he has gone from a purveyor of love potions to a serious kick ass mage. Highly recommend.

Brilliant, immensely satisfying | can’t wait for the next one

It’s difficult to write about Fallen without starting to give things away. So all I will say is you can’t enter Verus’s world with Fallen. You really need to know the back story. So do yourself a favour and start at the beginning.

Really moves up a notch

While I have enjoyed every one of the Alex Verus adventures, it was starting to get a bit old with him having his arse handed to him on a plate every time. This certainly raises the bar and moves the story along.

Better but suddenly feels like deathwalker and the madness maze upgrade

Reviewed in Australia on 9 November 2019

I have followed this series right the way through
Finally the protagonist has moved to being a more proactive however the power upgrade of the fateweaver possibly unbalances the heros power and from struggling to survive his enemies he has jumped to beating them easily
Overall I did enjoy this book more than other recent ones

Another great book by Alex!

I have been totally intrigued by this writer from my first reading of this series and have enjoyed every book so far. This latest one was eagerly anticipated and it didn't disappoint. It is the details that I think that make his books so enjoyable and satisfying to read. The only downside is waiting for the next book in this ongoing series!

Better & Better

Reviewed in Australia on 17 December 2020

It has been some time since I’ve read an Alex Verus book. So I was worried that I wouldn’t remember much about the characters or the plot. After a slow start this book drew me in, and by the end I was hooked.

There is enough reintroduction of the characters, and some other plot reminders, so those with the memory of a goldfish won’t be left behind.

One of my other bugbears with this series has been frustration with Alex; the winey, whimpy, wizard. In the past he has been so reactive, and he hasn’t grown as much as I thought he should have grown. Well, in this book, he ‘steps up’! There is some emotional losses and some energising gains. Overall? A great addition to the Verus world, if not the best so far.

At last a fight back.

Reviewed in the United Kingdom on 5 January 2020

I have enjoyed all of the novels, but this is one of the best. In earlier episodes Alex always reacts to what is done to him, endures it even, trying to establish some sort of status quo. It was starting to get on my nerves how little agency (other than successfully getting out from under another evil plan) is shown.

Finally Alex starts to think beyond now and starts to pay it back to the mages who have tormented him and his friends. Took long enough. Why he wasn't more pro-active before now in eliminating persistent recurring threats is lampshaded in the book.

Good action, and story. At last, Alex is attempting to shape his own fate.

Read in a day and gripped throughout!

Reviewed in the United Kingdom on 12 October 2019

Alex Verus takes control. He’s always been adamant he isn’t a dark mage but this book sees changes and self-realization. Alex and Anne couldn’t be allowed to simply settle into a quiet life, now could they? Where would the fun be in that?

Anne and not-Anne have considerable work to do on resolving their many issues. Alex gets a major power-up and the confidence to lead and shape events and not just react to the decisions of others. Luna is a solid friend throughout and Vari does a fine job keeping both his professional responsibilities and personal loyalties fulfilled, despite them being in direct opposition.

As always when I finish one installment I want the next one - bring on more dodgy-Councillors, Drakh, Verus, Anne/not-Anne and all the others that are still alive - I really want to know what happens next!

PS, Like others have said, don’t start with this book in the series, start at the beginning and go through them all, its a thrilling ride.

Verus finally stops behaving like an emo weakling and gets a grip

Reviewed in the United Kingdom on 13 November 2019

High time, I hope it lasts. Through all the other books I've liked the universe and the plot, but found Verus himself ever so annoying, with his unexplicable urge to be accepted by the Light mages when it's obvious the only difference between them and the Dark ones is an extra helping of hypocrisy and conformity. Good to see he's shaken most of that off. Too bad he still sees Richard and his entourage as his worst enemies, I hope that perspective changes in future books too.

Enjoyable

Reviewed in the United Kingdom on 10 June 2020

I quite enjoy this series. While the magiacal urban fantasy genre isn't for eveyone I do like the masculine spin on a usually female heavy genre, each book in the series is well written and paced, with zero typos or grammatical stumples as you'd expect from a publishing house book unlike self publish works. The setting of London in the here and now gives it a familiar and tangible edge that you don't get from similar books set in the States or even Europe making it a more enjoyable read, while the character growth throughout is steady and belivable for the story arch and in the series in general. The main protagonist can be a little irksome early on in the series at times with his self flagilation quickly followed by self aggrandizing boasting but stick with it, the characters arch does change as stated previously and the author seems to grow out of this imprinting on his character as the series goes on. Overall it is a easy an enjoyable read.

One of the most exciting books in the series

Reviewed in the United Kingdom on 6 November 2019

There’s a debate in our house as to who in the book is ‘Fallen’. I read the book first and thought it was Anne whose dark side finally takes control and invites the jinn back into her mind. Husband, who has just finished reading it, thinks it’s Alex who has fallen. He points out that just 20 minutes after he accepts symbiosis with the fateweaver (I always knew that thing was going to come back) Alex cold-bloodedly kills 27 people because they are in his way and he does it brutally which is out of character and shows how quickly the fateweaver has changed him. I see what he means. We agreed to agree that the title probably applies to both Alex and Anne and the decisions they have made in this book. We both agreed we were glad that Alex’s sentient armour made it out of the battle safely.

Fallen is where things really feel as if it’s the beginning of the end. Plot threads are being drawn together and with only two books left in the series after this one, the story of Alex Verus and Richard Drakh is beginning to come to an end. We finally find out what Richard’s mage power is, and how Alex uses that knowledge and the fateweaver to actually trick him and ruin his plans for the first time ever.

It’s satisfying but also sad to see the two main characters, Alex and Anne, finally power up and fight back and but also sacrifice something of their humanity to gain the power they need to survive the enemies they have. They both embrace their dark side out of necessity. And there is further loss with Luna’s path diverging from Alex’s and Arachne’s departure, Alex’s realisation that he and his time-mage friend Sonder have grown apart to the point where Sonder is willing to lie to him about an important investigation and his ongoing battles with mage peacekeeper Caldera to get her to see how corrupt the Light mage society she serves has become.

It’s one of the most exciting books in the series, and I enjoyed every minute of it. I always read them slowly to make them last longer and it’s always a sad moment when the book is finished.
