Second time reading this one.
Loved it, it was way better the second time around because this time I knew the world. I could just enjoy it instead of trying to keep up and figure out who the hell each character was.
Simon was really funny and I really enjoyed Galen in this book. Galen being an asshole while being sweet and possessive of Simon was pretty enjoyable.
This series has stayed on my mind, and I was actually missing the characters and this world. I love it and absolutely recommend it

I liked this book. The character were interesting, the world was intriguing.
I just felt they were both a little shallow.
There were so many characters I didn't feel like we really spent enough time getting to know our main men.
There were also a lot of things in the world building that I felt were glossed over.
The mating bond really didn't make any sense to me. There seemed to be such little benefit to it. Maybe it's just me but it seemed crazy that Simon would be immortal but could still die if he banged his head 😅
Not sure if I will keep reading this series yet.

I've got mixed feelings on this because there were certain things I liked, but also certain things I didn't.
Let's start with what I did like: I really enjoyed the general idea of this book and series. The world-building is interesting, the plotline caught and held my attention, and I definitely love the family dynamic the 'brothers' have going on. The idea with each of the brothers representing the Seven Deadly Sins was something I found very cool, and can't wait to see explored further.
What I didn't like, however, was the romantic relationship in this book.
Simon and Galen had a complete insta-love connection, and I never really saw them bond or get to know each other better. It was like they both randomly loved each other, and that was that.
Nonetheless, even though they are both head-over-heels in love with each other, there is still a constant string of 'fuck-and-leave' going on between them. Galen refuses to fall in love, so he keeps Simon at bay 'emotionally', but they do have sex all the time.
I don't like those type of love stories: Either just accept you are falling in love or at least don't have sex, and instead let the tension simmer. But the way it was now, with the sex and no feelings (even though they did have feelings, so it was stupid as well), it feels kinda... cheap to me. Especially since the sex was non-stop.
The whole relationship had no emotional factor for me and really bored me most of the time.
The characters were fun. Mostly the secondary characters, though. Simon and Galen were once again not all that interesting to me. Simon especially; I feel like all he did was ask questions, and that was like his entire personality.
Out of the secondary characters I loved Gray the most. He is so cute and adorable, and I cannot wait to read his book. Daman and Bellamy have not gotten a lot of attention in this book yet, but they did both peek my interest quite a lot. Raiden and Castor seem sweet albeit a bit bland, and Alastair is kinda mweh.
Considering I do like the plotline, characters and general idea of this series, and my dislike lay more with this book's couple, I still have faith in this series as a whole.
'Sons of the Fallen' series:
1. Galen - 2.5 stars
3. Daman - 4.5 stars
4. Gray - 3.5 stars
5. Bellamy - 3.0 stars
6. Raiden - 2.5 stars
7. Alastair - 3.0 stars
