About 200 pages into Torment, the sequel to Fallen, which I liked okay but only okay--just enough to see where it went next. This one so far is LOADS better than the last! Somewhere between the Love At First Sight nonsense that ended the first book, and Luce being forcefully enrolled into a secluded, highly privileged school for her "protection" in this one, she's actually grown a backbone. She's starting to ask questions about her designated love interest--questions like, "Hang on, how did I become so dependent on him so fast? That's a bit scary." And "Who does he think he is, giving me all these rules and then abandoning me without telling me what's going on?" And "About all these past lives we allegedly had together, what exactly went on that he remembers it all and I don't? What is our 'relationship' really about?" So she's acting more proactive and trying to figure out what her fallen-angel-boyfriend's not telling her whether he likes it or not. I am legitimately loving it!
