The title of The Fallen Star refers to the central element of the book: This book is all about a girl who happens to have the power of a fallen star (yep, a star that fell from the sky to the earth) inside of her. The star is also supposed to be the only thing that can stop a portal from opening up and releasing an army of Death Walkers (some freaky ice demons) who will freeze over the earth and kill everyone. Intense, huh?
But the title doesn't just refer to what Gemma learns about herself throughout the book; it also sets readers up for the whole series. The Fallen Star is the title of this book, but it's also the title of the entire four-book series. The saga has just begun, and this title reminds readers where it all starts from—a powerful star falling from the sky.
