The Fallen Star Theme of The Supernatural

There are plenty of magical and supernatural elements floating about in The Fallen Star, which makes sense since the main character is hosting the power of a fallen star inside her body. In Gemma's adventures with Alex, Aislin, and Laylen, she encounters vampires, fortune tellers (who can actually see into the future), angels from hell, and of course, the dreaded Death Walkers. This story may take place in fairly modern day America, but it wholeheartedly takes readers into the realm of the supernatural and fantastical. So get ready to suspend reality.

Questions About The Supernatural

  1. What kind of supernatural elements is Gemma exposed to when they go to the vampire club? What do these tell you about the world Gemma lives in?
  2. Why do different characters have strange marks on their skin? How does the supernatural intersect with fate? To get started, be sure to swing by fate's page elsewhere in this section.
  3. Why does Alex need the Sword of Immortality to slay the Death Walkers? Why can't they use normal weapons? What does this tell you about power dynamic in this world?

Chew on This

Try on an opinion or two, start a debate, or play the devil’s advocate.

Gemma is normally a skeptical person, but she's forced to believe in magic and demons because there's simply no other logical explanation for what she sees.

Gemma might hold a ton of supernatural power, but when it comes down to it, she's pretty much a baby in the supernatural realm since it's all so new to her. And because of this, she's completely dependent on the help of others.
