Rating: 4 Stars Bloodlines is the first book of spin-off of Richelle Mead's Vampire Academy series. It follows the events after Last Sacrifice, the last book of Vampire Academy. So for those who felt that the ending of the VA series wasn't enough or wasn't that satisfying in some ways (like me), I definitely recommend reading this. This will fill the gaping hole that VA have left in your hearts. And also, Adrian lovers (like me) will surely love this new series because we will be seeing a lot of him here. But for those who haven't read the Vampire Academy series, I suggest you read that series first before getting your hands on this book.
Well, it's no surprise that I enjoyed Bloodlines. I expected that already. Richelle Mead has that way of compelling her readers and make them feel a lot of things while reading her book.
Seriously, a lot of feels. From the way it was written, to the turn of events, to the brilliant characters, it was sooooo good. As good as Vampire Academy. I think I even like this better than VA. Why? Because of ADRIAN IVASHKOV and his over the edge personality. Hahahahahaha... Kidding aside, he is really one of the reasons I really like this series.
Sydney Sage has also been growing on me. I enjoy how she is so intelligent yet so clueless of the world around her. I have been having a hard time guessing who will really be Sydney's love interest. That's a plus for the book because it kept me wondering and flipping the pages. Will it be Trey? or Eddie? or Kieth? or Adrian?
What else? Hmmmm... Although I really enjoyed reading it, I think it fell short on something. I can't really explain in what way. But there's just that feeling after I read it, like
"Okay, that's what happened. Okay." Hence, the four star rating.
So to sum up, I really like it. Enjoyed it. I want more of ADRIAN! :)
