'' | ''The following review was originally published by Tera on her Blog, A Succubi's Tale on [https://www.succubus.net/blog/2017/06/25/a-review-of-the-fall-conversations-with-lucifer-by-lori-green/ June 25, 2017]'' | ||
Nathan finds himself in the presence of a legend wishing to share a story. The Devil is in the details and when he comes to spend time with Morningstar, Nathan finds the story told isn’t quite what he expects. Can there be love for all and if so, what then of Nathan’s own love and how does he, and that love, matter in the grand scheme of things? | |||
This work is possibly the most involving, complex and personally captivating work about Lilith that I have read. The emotional impact, not just from Morningstar and Lilith, but more so from Nathan, is telling in so many ways. This creates a deeply told work that allows for the reader to contemplate what was, but more so, what could have been and still what is to be. | |||
This is a work about myths and what lays behind them in all of their aspects and meaning. The emphasis is on the telling of loves lost and found, of needs unfulfilled and how that comes to weigh upon the souls in this work. It’s not a meaningless work, there is a point, meaning for the reader to find and accept. That is rather unique and I liked that most of all here. | |||
Nathan’s character, being the core of the story, develops wonderfully and by the end of the work, there’s a needed closure that made the path through the story have purpose. Perhaps the same cannot be said about Morningstar herself, or the missing pieces of Lilith’s puzzle, but for Nathan, the truth came to be and in knowing that truth, if held in the words of another, brought light to him once more. | |||
If there is one issue with the story, it’s how the revelation about Lilith and Nathan’s connection to her comes. It’s too quick, too matter of fact and with all that came before that was a disappointment. But a minor one, and it didn’t take all that much away once the postscript came and Nathan’s path in the aftermath was told. | |||
Four out of five pitchforks. | |||
I wish the ending hadn’t been so fast and so pat. I wanted something more in the revelation of how everything tied together, but that didn’t happen. That said, the postscript was a needed delight and turned the corner back to the deeper truth in the work that mattered the most. | |||
A thoughtful and involved work that spoke of many things and did so in a way that I adored. | |||
