This review is from: Bloodlines (Hardcover)
What did I think of Bloodlines? It was HOLLY Cow!! I loved it!! Beware this review might contain some small spoilers.OK it is true that I might be slightly bias because, as some of my best friends are saying, I have a `slight' unhealthy crush on Adrian and I have to say, my favorite bad boy has some fantastic quotes and scenes in this book. I didn't know what to expect as Sydney was now becoming the narrator but I really liked it, she is a great character and I know I will love to follow her journey. She is getting to question everything she was raised to believe, she is fighting for the truth and what she think is right. It's true she is much more a thinker than Rose however; when the time comes she can be as fierce and brave as her. She even has a dark side I didn't really expect her to have. I love the introduction of new characters and I think some of them with become important as the story develops and I can already suspect the place of Trey (Am I the only one to suspect his sun tattoo mean much more than that and that he is not exactly what he says he is?) and the History teacher role in the future books. I was happy to get to `know' Eddie better and I really like him as well as poor Jill, I really like the kid. I did guess a few plotlines and I had strong doubts on who the bad(s) one might be but it might also be that I didn't trust anyone, the end still came as a surprise. The Romance was not a huge part of the plot but Richelle started to hint to some impossible Romance, possible unrequited love that I know will be only good to break my heart and make me whine in the next books. I know some people said they were frustrated with the ending and it was a small cliffhanger but knowing what Richelle is capable of (end of Shadow kiss and bloodlines in particular killed me), I think she is being nice here. All in all I really loved Bloodlines and I'm dying to read Golden Lily.

Bloodlines Review,
By
This review is from: Bloodlines (Hardcover)
The Vampire Academy series has always been a favorite for me. I was a little wary to see how Richelle Mead's spin-off would turn out. I've read spin-off's - most are not very good. I loved Rose as a heroine, she had a lot of spunk and I wasn't sure what to expect with Sydney. I thought the author was trying to go for the complete opposite of Rose's character and didn't really think that would turn out well.After reading Bloodlines I'm happy to say my bad expectations of it didn't come. Although it wasn't as good as the first book in the Vampire Academy series, it has a lot of promise and I'm looking forward to the next book. Many characters return from the original series - Sydney of course, Jill, Eddie, and Adrian. Rose even makes a short appearance. One thing I've always loved about Richelle Mead's book is her characters. They are so believable and real, both the main and supporting characters. And I'm happy to see that Bloodlines continued with that tradition. I really did enjoy reading through Sydney's point of view. She's definitely not Rose but she was calm, determined, endearing and an overall interesting heroine with a lot of room for character development. We see plenty of Adrian and I love all the parts he was in, he definitely was in it a lot more then any of the other Vampire Academy books. So if you love Adrian then I'm sure you'll enjoy Bloodlines. The story was interesting but at times it got a little tedious with the high school and daily life. Still it was fun to read and see the characters interact and I'm looking forward to the next books in the series. The author also took any romance with Sydney slow and there really wasn't any at all, which was pretty refreshing and like everything I'm also wondering how this will turn out in the future. If you're a fan of the Vampire Academy series then I'm sure you'll love Bloodlines. It can be read by itself but I don't think you'll get the full impact of it if you haven't read the Vampire Academy series. I'm probably going to read The Golden Lily but I hope the plot doesn't continue to lag on like it did with Bloodlines.
