My favorite part is when Klaus sacrifice the only thing he needed for Elijah. Though the siblings fight to death, they always find a way to get together. One thing I hated about them : Klaus - He never thinks of consequences before doing something, Rebekah - Without knowing one's character she loves them. Elijah - He does everything for his family though they don't acknowledge it. My Favorite Character is always gonna be klaus. I've wondered myself why I love him so much. But there's no answer. I know he's reckless, selfish, made everybody life living hell, I love him the most. Elijah always takes care of his siblings. He makes sure they don't kill each other. He's always there when they're in trouble. Pure Soul of the family. Rebakah, I don't know how she manage to live with klaus, even after he staked her. Though she wanted to kill him, she couldn't bring herself to do it. I love rebakah for her tolerance.

Because the first two "The Originals" books weren't especially good, I didn't expect the 3rd one to be anything more than a bit of fun... Oh, how mistaken was I! In "The Resurrection" the Mikaelsons finally were the Mikaelsons; they were true to their characters from the tv-shows and the plot was really interesting and strong from the very beginning. I finally got what I was expecting from these books... I didn't just have fun, it was amazing. "The Resurrection" I can truly recommend, it was a nice surprise.
Ponieważ dwie pierwsze części książkowej serii "The Originals" nie były wyjątkowo dobre, nie spodziewałam się po trzecim tomie niczego więcej niż dobrej zabawy... Ale jak się myliłam! W "The Resurrection" W KOŃCU Mikaelsonowie byli Mikaelsonami; najbliżej swoim prawdziwym charakterom, a do tego akcja była naprawdę ciekawa i lecąca ostro praktycznie od samego początku. Nareszcie dostałam to, czego od tych książek oczekiwałam... nie bawiłam się dobrze, bawiłam się wyśmienicie! Tę część mogę szczerze polecić, pozytywnie się zaskoczyłam!

n this stunning conclusion to The Originals prequel trilogy, Rebekah, Klaus, and Elijah are pitted against each other as they attempt to take on New Orleans. Each sibling’s loyalty is put to the ultimate test, and they must decide how far they are willing to go to keep their family promise to each other.
What I love most about this novel are the epic choices the three Originals face. All of them are tested in the one area they are weakest. Klaus has power, yet he continues to want more. Rebekah has once again found someone she may love, but she must decide how blind love will make her. Elijah has nearly given up on his family, but he must discover if that is really what he wants. Throughout the series, they have faced many conflicts, but it is in this final story where they face them more alone and separated from each other than ever. Elijah in particular has fallen far, and his character is the hardest to bounce back.
The plot builds excellently throughout the story, though I do wish more information had been given about the primary antagonists. The visualization of the story is great, making it feel like a live motion picture in your head as each scene unfolds. The fighting scenes in particular bring the perfect blend of heated emotion and slight gore to fit the supernatural creates.
All in all, this is a wonderful series perfect for vampire lovers and avid watchers of The Originals and The Vampire Diaries. Julie Plec brings their world to life in The Resurrection, and readers can truly see how strong and unstoppable this ancient family is.

I honestly expected more from this and I finished it quickly so I could finally be done with these books.
The Mikaelson’s have gained control over New Orleans just to lose it between the werewolves and vampire fighting over the territory. The Mikaelson family must come together as one to ward off their city to their enemies.
Let’s start off with Elijah who completely stops caring about what Rebekah and Klaus are doing, except the problem with that is Elijah is the RESPONSIBLE ONE. How can you serious make Elijah Mikaelson the one who goes after a women and leaves his psychotic brother to start, yet another war.
Rebekah is off finding another lover. While I’m happy that she can find people to occupy her time since she hates being a vampire and wants to be human, but it gets tiring after a few times of listening to it.
Klaus got over his mourning quickly and went straight to destroying things. While his anger issues get in the way he builds an army to take down the witches and werewolves from having anything in New Orleans.
Honestly I just didn’t care about this book. Julie Plec really messed up on this book, but I mean she could barley write the TV show. I prefer the show better because the characters don’t switch personalities in .5 seconds. Overall, I wish I would of stopped on the second book and just called it quits instead of wasting my time on a book that just kept repeating what book 1 and book 2 were about.

I think this was a satisfying conclusion to this little tie in trilogy, I really enjoyed how they make Klaus responsible for the fire of New Orleans in 1788 I thought that was really well done and a nod to the actual history of New Orleans. I can't really say I'd have picked these up on my own, but since I'm the type of person who reads all the books of a series and that includes spin-offs and the like. But I'm not sad I read it.
