Suspense

In The Fall of Five, the author has created a lot of suspense. There is rarely a part that does not have action or doesn't leave you waiting for something. Even from the very beginning, it is exciting. There are even characters who you think die within the first few chapters. Ella has been having lots of nightmares about the Mogodorians. She barely ever sleeps, and now, she won't wake up. She subconciously grabbed Four's arm and now he is experiencing the same thing. The author creates suspense because you don't know if everyone else in the apartment is safe from them. The rest of the Garde left to go on a mission, but the humans stayed behind, and they found of the Mogodorians are coming for them. The capter ends with them knowing they are in danger, so it creates a lot of suspense because you don't know if they will be okay.
I think suspense is an important element to have in novels. It is what makes the reader want to keep reading and makes a book good. I think there are many different ways to create suspense in books. You can add suspense throughout the whole book, by adding an event at the beginning, and having to read until the end to find out what happens. Or, you can end a chapter with something abrupt so the reader will keep reading. Both of these methods are used in The Fall of Five. There is suspense throughout the novel because you never know if they Mogodorians will find them. The author is also constantly ending chapters with some sort of problem, and you have to read the next chapter to find out what happens immediately after. The author creates a lot of suspense in the book, and I think that helps make a book better.
