Knowledge is power, and there’s a constant fight to have the most power. Some will even kill to have it and hide the knowledge from others. Now what happens when you have all the proof that there were beings on Earth long before humans came to be? With more and more mysteries getting revealed, there are those who want to hide the discoveries and keep them for themselves, and they would stop at nothing to reach their goals. One of the most fascinating discoveries is the possibility of creating an interdimensional gateway to a parallel universe and other planets. If they could be successful in this, what would be waiting on the other side, or could they possibly be able to cross over to Earth?

Be prepared to experience a mind-blowing experience that will tilt your world as you know it! This book is written with so many details and clear descriptions that you can’t help but believe the possibility of events in it. The author is a fantastic and creative writer who keeps you hooked from the start right through to the end of her books. There is no way to predict what is going to happen next. This is one of my favorite books of hers.

I did find a few quotation errors in her book that affected my reading a little bit. I know this would be solved with a final round of editing. I must also say that except for the grammar errors, there were absolutely no other errors that I spotted, which means that the book has undergone extensive editing. Except for this point, there was absolutely nothing I disliked about this book. I would rate Fallen Race: The Celestial Clock by Melissa Saulnier 4 out of 5 stars. There was no reason to deduct another star, and I would proudly give this book a perfect score once the final errors have been sorted.

This book is the sequel to the Fallen Race trilogy. It works perfectly as a stand-alone book, but the first book, The Fallen Race: The Inheritance, does give you an amazing load of information and explains in depth the backstory about the history of previous beings and how the characters got together. I enjoyed the history aspect entirely, where it usually becomes a bit lacking, but in neither of these two books does it slow the books down. The book is full of action from the start, amazing technology, and conspiracy mysteries. If this sounds like something that interests you, you will definitely love this book!

More mysteries are uncovered in the second book of a series. The various elements seem well mixed-up for an engaging novel. I'll look into this series. Thank you for your great review!
Ciao :)
