The Fall
The story did not collapse all at once. It eroded. It repeated. It normalized itself until no one remembered where it began.
In The Fall, the final installment of The Redacted Series, the consequences of narrative control become impossible to ignore. What began as exposure turned into transmission. What spread as belief now settles into memory.
Juno is no longer chasing the signal. She is living inside its residue.
As systems recalibrate and identities fracture, the lines between truth, memory, and consent blur beyond recognition. Control no longer announces itself. It embeds. It hums quietly beneath routine, familiarity, and trust.
This is not a story about discovering the truth. It is about what happens after the illusion breaks, when belief lingers and choice becomes the only remaining act of resistance.
Dark, unsettling, and psychologically precise, The Fall closes the trilogy with a restrained intensity that favors implication over explanation. It asks one final question.
What survives when the story you were given no longer holds?

What is The Fall about? That’s a tough one. I expect it may be about whatever you decide it is while you’re reading. This is not a criticism. It’s not easy to write something like this; and, to be honest, it’s not so easy to read. If you’re looking for a nice, simple narrative structure with safety rails and a clear sense of entropy, you probably won’t enjoy the books of this trilogy. But, if you’re not afraid to be involved in the creation of meaning along with the author, this book is for you.
Sanchez kept sweeping me back to William Burroughs. Not for the content, mind you. No trigger warnings necessary here. Instead, The Fall gave me a similar sense of the surreal. Less absurdist, but I’d argue equally dark. And, I think, except for a few exceptions in Burroughs, Sanchez’s work is more optimistic.
I’ve often said the greatest praise I can give an author is to confess I felt compelled to keep reading, to find out what was going to happen. But I cannot give this compliment; at least, I cannot give the same justification for the compliment. What’s going to happen becomes almost irrelevant. Instead, I got caught up in the prose, like a coloured gas might get swept up in a draft, feeling myself compelled along knowing neither direction nor destination.
My recommendation? If you like the tried and true, the well-worn path, The Fall might not be the book you’re looking for. But if you have a taste for narrative adventure, for your reader’s boots to lose purchase in a universe become the interior of a thematic whirligig, this book is definitely one to consider.
