Come for the loot。 Stay for the lore。

Although it took me a bit to finish because of the end of school and all the work I have had to do recently， I loved this read。 Am I a Destiny fan？ Of course。 And I loved every entry of Fallen lore contained in this book。

Great view into the world of destiny and the lore behind the main characters

At first， ‘Fallen Kingdoms’ felt like a mash-up of individual stories， rather than an anthology it claims to be。 Mosaics had started coming together half-way through the book and， in the end， turned out beautifully。There are stories of Iron Lords， the Fallen and the battle of Twilight Gap， Reef Wars， Scorn Barons and Variks the Loyal。 Variks’ part was simply superb （I might be biased as a ‘Forsaken’ campaign has always had a special place in my heart and resonated with me the most of all Destiny At first， ‘Fallen Kingdoms’ felt like a mash-up of individual stories， rather than an anthology it claims to be。 Mosaics had started coming together half-way through the book and， in the end， turned out beautifully。There are stories of Iron Lords， the Fallen and the battle of Twilight Gap， Reef Wars， Scorn Barons and Variks the Loyal。 Variks’ part was simply superb （I might be biased as a ‘Forsaken’ campaign has always had a special place in my heart and resonated with me the most of all Destiny lore）。 The story is complex and touching: kudos to writers at Bungie。 There is nothing quite as precious to the reader as compassion towards a character。Illustrations are stunningly beautiful and production quality of the book is great， too。I would certainly recommend ‘Fallen Kingdoms’ to a fellow Destiny fan！ 。。。more

Amazing read for those interested in the lore and behind the scenes of what you see in the game

It was really nice to finally feel like I have some understanding of the plot of Destiny II: Forsaken。 If you don't take the time to read the lore from this series， you really miss out。 some things you learn from this book:- a bit about the war for control of the Reef/Tangled Shore between the Fallen and Mara Sov's Awoken- some about the Fallen/Eliksni houses and how the Scorn were made- how the Barons and Uldren Sov broke out of the Prison of EldersI docked one star because I would have liked a It was really nice to finally feel like I have some understanding of the plot of Destiny II: Forsaken。 If you don't take the time to read the lore from this series， you really miss out。 some things you learn from this book:- a bit about the war for control of the Reef/Tangled Shore between the Fallen and Mara Sov's Awoken- some about the Fallen/Eliksni houses and how the Scorn were made- how the Barons and Uldren Sov broke out of the Prison of EldersI docked one star because I would have liked a bit more lively presentation from the book itself， it feels a little stark， which I guess fits the tone of the game itself。 。。。more

this book explains even more lore but from the fallen perspective

Didn't enjoy this volume as much as the previous。Focuses mostly on the history of the Fallen， which I never found particularly intriguing。Hoping for one of the next volumes to dive into the history of the Vex！ Didn't enjoy this volume as much as the previous。Focuses mostly on the history of the Fallen， which I never found particularly intriguing。Hoping for one of the next volumes to dive into the history of the Vex！ 。。。more

I don't think this quite hits the high highs of volume 1， but it's still a lot of fun revisiting this stuff。 I don't think this quite hits the high highs of volume 1， but it's still a lot of fun revisiting this stuff。 。。。more

Lots of Guardian and Awoken lore as well as the Fallen stuff。 Fills in some interesting gaps about Siva and。。。。Variks and the Scorn Barons。 Eeeeee indeed！Love the illustrations。 Very epic。

The name of this volume holds more weight when you realize it is multi-layered。 Within the world of Destiny， there are the Fallen， but the Iron Lords were also a Kingdom that fell， and the list goes on。 If you are a fan of the world of Destiny this is a must-read， but don't let that sway you if you've never picked the game up。 These volumes hold so much world-building it hurts， in a good way。 So pick up a copy all you fantasy fans， because it really does give you some great material to think on， The name of this volume holds more weight when you realize it is multi-layered。 Within the world of Destiny， there are the Fallen， but the Iron Lords were also a Kingdom that fell， and the list goes on。 If you are a fan of the world of Destiny this is a must-read， but don't let that sway you if you've never picked the game up。 These volumes hold so much world-building it hurts， in a good way。 So pick up a copy all you fantasy fans， because it really does give you some great material to think on， while also leaving you wanting more。 。。。more

The second Grimoire Anthology book is the same high quality as the first but better in almost all respects。 The first laid out some of the best stories in Destiny， namely the Books of Sorrow and Dredgen Yor。 This book focuses on the Fallen starting all the way back with the original Guardians （Risen） through Twilight Gap， the Iron Lords/SIVA， the Barons of the Tangled Shore and a good deal about Variks。 Two thumbs way up for any Destiny lore fan。

I really enjoyed reading the lore behind the Fallen。 Honestly， I think that I enjoyed this second installment more than the first one！ It was cool to get a chance to get a glimpse into the history of them。 Also， getting another perspective of the events leading up to the Foresaken timeline。

Thank you to titan books for sending me this review copy！Wow！ Some of you might not be aware of this but im a sucker for video game lore more so when it's a video game series that i adore like Destiny， I try to absorb as much as i can。 The shame i found within while playing Destiny 1 that all the lore was not in the game but in an external website that i had to leave the game to read i was deeply saddened and wished that it was in the game。 Now they did rectify this in Destiny 2 by adding it wit Thank you to titan books for sending me this review copy！Wow！ Some of you might not be aware of this but im a sucker for video game lore more so when it's a video game series that i adore like Destiny， I try to absorb as much as i can。 The shame i found within while playing Destiny 1 that all the lore was not in the game but in an external website that i had to leave the game to read i was deeply saddened and wished that it was in the game。 Now they did rectify this in Destiny 2 by adding it within the game only issue was the time line order of what grimoire （Destiny lore） i should read first this was the hard part， but now in this book it's all collected into one arching story line。 This book focuses on the history of the fallen and following variks house of judgment as he struggles with questions of why and what if。 This is volume 2 i haven't read volume 1 yet but knowing it tells the story of the hive and how much i enjoyed this book and it gave me a whole better understanding of the fallen i have to go out and read the first volume。 And i can't believe that for this long i have been missing out on this greater understanding of the fallen that i wish it wasn't in lore nuggets but told with the actual game， but i can't grumble i now have the volume and im sure to buy the set for the vex and cabal next year and the year after！ If your a Destiny fan do yourself a favour and go buy the first two volumes now you won't be disappointed i know i wasn't i have a deeper love for the world of destiny now。5/5 Stars on GoodReads 🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟100/100 GingerPoints 🔥🔥🔥🔥 。。。more

I think that if Bungie could manage to put these stories into the game as it progresses， either as cut scenes or as character interaction， more people would see how amazing this world really is。 Having to access backstory via grimoire cards and $25 anthologies when you've already paid $39-100 for a game seems like a grift， but the content was good。 I think that if Bungie could manage to put these stories into the game as it progresses， either as cut scenes or as character interaction， more people would see how amazing this world really is。 Having to access backstory via grimoire cards and $25 anthologies when you've already paid $39-100 for a game seems like a grift， but the content was good。 。。。more

Volume II has a lot more padding than Volume I， a lot more window-dressing lore that is there to explain why the developers have you shooting bad guy A in location B， because honestly not that much has been written about the Fallen。 The Scorned Barons are also fundamentally uninteresting cartoon villains。 However， it ends on a really strong note: Most Loyal， the best story in the past three years of Destiny writing。 The earlier half of the book about the Iron Lords and SIVA provides some continu Volume II has a lot more padding than Volume I， a lot more window-dressing lore that is there to explain why the developers have you shooting bad guy A in location B， because honestly not that much has been written about the Fallen。 The Scorned Barons are also fundamentally uninteresting cartoon villains。 However， it ends on a really strong note: Most Loyal， the best story in the past three years of Destiny writing。 The earlier half of the book about the Iron Lords and SIVA provides some continuity if you're reading back-to-back from Volume I， and contrasts nicely with the second iteration of "Fallen out for revenge" in the later parts， but it's rather thin if you don't already have fond memories of the video game。 。。。more
