4.16 AVERAGE


These books get better and better. Richelle Mead keeps blowing my mind. Admittedly, the first book was bad, but I'm so glad I decided to continue on with this series.

3.5

I really liked this book, it really was a rollercoaster. What I really am pissed about though, is the fact that Adrian really gave Rose an out, and she is still stringing him along. I truly believe that she has feelings for him, but they will never measure up to the ones she has for Dimitri, and it really is just cruel. 

2.5 stars, but it was borderline ridiculous how boring the book was until the last 40 pages.
adventurous dark lighthearted medium-paced
Plot or Character Driven: A mix
Strong character development: Yes
Loveable characters: Yes
Diverse cast of characters: Yes
Flaws of characters a main focus: No

OMG I love this book Ahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh

2020

I love that Lissa kept her promise to Rose from the last book, promising to go wherever Rose goes on her next crazy adventure. Even though she didnt like what Rose had plan but she still went and helped Rose out. I also loved how Lissa was determine to work her spirit magic to help Rose in saving Dimitri. And Dimitri that guy. I love him but he always makes me so mad during the end with the way he was treating Rose, though he did make it up at the end with that growl of "Don't Touch Her." as he shoved her behind him, to keep her safe.

Please Netflix bring this series to life. I would love to watch ten hours of episodes or more, to see Rose, Lissa and Dimitri come to life.


2018

I know I can finish this book when in a few days. because I have done it. However things got busy and I couldnt read like I wanted too, but I finally finish this book. And I love this book even though it's sad in parts from Dimitri not wanting to see Rose or what he says to her. But I do Love how even though, he feels like the way he does, he still wants to protect her at all cost.

I find it very challenging to review this book because it was good in so many ways that can’t be explained without spoilers. But worry not, this review is Spirit Bound Spoilers Free. I will do my best to express you the passion I felt reading this book, but I’m afraid it’s beyond what words can explain.

Spirit Bound starts back at the Academy, it’s finally graduation time and Rose has only one more challenge in front of her: The Trials. A final exam planned by guardians to test their ability to protect Moroi “in the real world”. But what worries Rose the most is the after-graduation. She always thought it rimed with freedom but reality hit her in the face. She will spend her life protecting Moroi and her own desires won’t matter anymore. There’s not only the weight of responsibilities though, she knows Dimitri is out there, lurking in shadows, waiting for an opportunity to kill her.

In this installment, Rose is more determined than ever and will use extremely illegal ways to reach her objectives. Desperation to save Dimitri, while she still can, drives her actions and consequences won’t be light. She is not risking only her future and her life but also the ones of people she loves.

When we love a book, we all say “I couldn’t put it down”, well in this case, I loved the book so much I HAD to put it down and take deep breaths because it was just too much. Love, Passion, Treason, Fear, Sadness, Grief, all these emotions laid on paper in a so intense way it almost became unbearable. At times I couldn’t believe my own eyes, events happening in that book triggered reactions in me that are beyond words!

I really love both Rose and Lissa for their very distinct qualities, and even though they are very different, they have one thing in common: they would do anything for each other.
Adrian is as snarky as ever but we get to discover a new side to him. I really like the guy and it’s clear he cares about Rose and I loved to watch them together.
Dimitri, oh Dimitri! He broke my heart in Blood Promise and Spirit Bound wasn’t any easier. At times I really felt like hitting him in the head to knock some sense into him and even though I would have a lot to say, I won’t spill the beans and ruin surprises. I will mention though that chapters 20 and 24 nearly killed me.
I was glad that Abe was in SB, he didn’t play a major role but it was nice to have him around and I think he will have a bigger role in The Last Sacrifice.

The end is as usual a cliff hanger, if suspense could kill Richelle Mead would be in danger of trial for massive murder, because I really don’t know how I will be able to wait until December to know how this epic story ends.

Vampire Academy is my favorite series and Richelle delivered. Spirit Bound was action-packed, full of surprises, emotions and magic. I was in awe so many times during this book, it really was fabulous.
I think Shadow Kiss is still my favorite of the series because I’m such a romantic but Spirit Bound is very close second.

I really hope Rose will have her happy ending in The Last Sacrifice (even though the title doesn’t point that way), she’s been through so much, she really deserves her happily ever after.
