Illuminated: The Fall of Terra
"A human prehistory that feels achingly and intuitively familiar..." — Brandon D. Reim
The first book in the Illuminated Series, The Fall of Terra tells the origin story of the courageous souls who volunteer to incarnate through time as Carriers of Light.
Prepare to embark on an extraordinary journey into the ancient and idyllic world of Terra, a realm where love and harmony reign supreme and every individual possesses a divine Calling, ensuring their place in the grand tapestry of existence: the All.
UNTIL…
Alma, the Mother of Terra, experiences an ominous encounter that awakens ancient memories. Something alien is approaching Terra, its intelligence palpable yet devoid of life. As Alma delves deep into the annals of time, a name resounds with ominous resonance: Abbadon, the Bringer of Chaos, the Devourer of Light.
On the brink of his Calling Day, Mylo finds himself adrift without a clear purpose. Lost and uncertain, he seeks guidance from Alma. Little does he know that uncovering his true path will also reveal profound world-changing secrets.
Can Alma assist Mylo without succumbing to an unexpected and forbidden love that flourishes between them? And can they together safeguard the crystal Scriptures that hold the profound history of Terra and the boundless wisdom of the All?
Will Alma, Mylo, and the Carriers of Light prevail against the encroaching shadows, or will Terra succumb to eternal Darkness?

The Fall of Terra is Book 1 in Illuminated: Carriers of Light Series by Linda Gabriel. Oh my! This book is so good and different. Terra is at total harmony with the All until evil, Abbadon, decided to devour their light and bring chaos. I really like that the author took the time to lay a solid foundation for this book as well as the series. The characters are excellent and well written. This fantasy is outstanding and I believe that this series is not to be missed. I am anxiously waiting for book 2, Illuminated: The Book of Miracles. I received an arc for free and am leaving my review voluntarily.

I received an ARC of this book in exchange for an honest review.
I really liked the concept of this book, as well as the world building. Overall it was a cool story. I felt at times we were following too many different characters’ stories so it made it really difficult to keep up with everything going on, while also being paced fairly slowly.
I’m rating it 3 stars because while I liked the concept, getting through the reading was a bit rough because of the pacing

The idyllic life of the All calls to me. The descriptions and details are enthralling. I finished the book before I was ready, never wanting to put it down. The characters are relatable and appealing, as is the lush environment before Abbadon. I felt lost when the story ended, wanting it to go on and on! Can’t wait for the next in the series to be released.

I wish I would have enjoyed this book more. I found it hard to follow and overly descriptive. I was grateful for the ARC but it wasn’t for me.
