London Falling is a sequel to I See London, which I didn't have time to read first (because, hello, it's Camp NaNoWriMo time) but that was okay, because really the major things from book one that you need to know are all mentioned in this one so I never felt lost. (I own the first book, and chances are excellent that I'll pick it up at some point--knowing how these two will end up will definitely make me happier while reading. I'm really an I-need-my-happy-ending-now kind of gal. Having to wait for sequels does not make me a happy camper.)I really enjoyed Maggie and Samir's story. They both tried so hard to do the right thing and to find the right path for themselves, and at times it really looked as if a HEA wasn't ever going to happen--heartbreaking! In the meantime, their chemistry was off the charts...I'm amazed Maggie got *any* studying done. ;)Chanel did a nice job of getting them to a satisfying conclusion, with plenty of realistic drsma along the way. It was nice to see Samir's POV here, even though his segments did tend to be on the short side. We definitely saw a lot more of Maggie's life than his, and spent more time on her relationships with other people. Not a complaint--just an obsevation. Both POVs were enjoyable.This book leaves me with just one question--where's Fleur's story? It's coming, yes? :)Rating: 4 1/2 stars / A-I received a complimentary copy in exchange for an honest review.
