About this ebook
From the #1 New York Times bestselling author of the FALLEN series comes WATERFALL, a novel about love, betrayal, and epic consequences—a world-altering tale told by a girl whose tears have the power to raise the lost continent of Atlantis. This second novel in the Teardrop series is intensely romantic, with strong, hot main characters caught up in a thrilling fantastical love triangle. For readers who love Lauren Kate and the worlds of Alyson Noël, P. C. Cast, Maggie Stiefvater, and Veronica Rossi.
Eureka’s tears have flooded the earth, and now Atlantis is rising, bringing with it its evil king, Atlas. Eureka is the only one who can stop him, but first she must learn how to fight. She travels across the ocean with Cat, her family, and Ander, the gorgeous and mysterious Seedbearer who promises to help her find Solon, an enigmatic lost Seedbearer who knows how to defeat Atlas.
Once on land, Eureka is taunted by gossipwitches, a group of displaced Atlantean sorceresses, and ambushed by locals struggling to survive amid the destruction her tears have wrought. And she feels no closer to facing Atlas or saving the world when Solon lets slip that love is Ander’s weakness, and that any affection he feels toward her makes him age faster.
Trying to make sense of the dark world her sorrow has created, Eureka receives startling insight from an enchanted pond. Her bewildering reflection reveals a soul-crushing secret: if she’s strong enough, Eureka can draw on this knowledge to defeat Atlas—unless her broken heart is just what he needs to fuel his rising kingdom. . . .
In Waterfall, Eureka has the chance to save the world. But she’ll have to give up everything—even love.

I found this book, and Teardrop, to be disappointing. I loved her Fallen series, but Lauren Kate's other books are so boring to me. This series has an okay premise, and Teardrop left it at a point where this book could have been good. But it dragged on and on. By the end of the book, Eureka didn't even feel like the same character and was making decisions that I don't believe fit her character at all. The ending was not satisfying. There were also several points in the book where I literally had no idea what I was supposed to be imagining. I just gave up on visualizing some of this world because I couldn't make it all make sense. I don't think every detail needs to be laid out in excruciating detail, but I also don't want to work that hard to figure out what in the world is going on. Overall, would not recommend this series.

This was a difficult read in the sense of the emotions it forces you to experience. You yourself are placed in her world surrounded by death, trying to surpass every obstacle. The only thing I disagreed with was the end. I would have loved to journey with them as they rebuilt the earth!

Omg, how can almost an entire book be so boring. The "meat" of this book could have been covered in two, maybe three chapters. The last 10 pages may have been interesting, but it really didn't make up for the torture of getting to the end.
