Branded (Fall of Angels, #1)

So I did enjoy the story in this book, but I am not sure I liked how it was executed. The idea was fantastic and very original. I am not sure if this was the writer's first book, but the flow of the book was off. There was so much build up and not enough character development to fill the pages. While I liked there characters in the book okay...I didn't feel like I knew enough about them to love them. There was so much room to get you emotionally involved with the characters but since you didn't really know much about them it kept them as strangers. With the character development being a little lacking in this book the love story also fell slightly flat. It just wasn't believeable enough for me. I also had a big problem with the fact that the characters said "ya" all the time. For some reason this bothered me to no end. I would actually start to cringe when I read it. If you read the book, I am 100% positive you will know what I mean by that.
That being said, the last 40 or so pages of the book actually almost completely make up for the fact that alot of the book was lacking. The villian in the book really begins to blossum more as does the main character. The emotions that are written towards the end of the book are portrayed so much better than in the beginning. Your connection to the characters begins to develop much more. So because of this I am hopeful that in the next book that strong connection continues and the writer continues to improve and have acutally found myself excited to see where the story goes.
