Bloodlines by Richelle Mead
3.0
I am a huge Adrian fan, so I am super glad Richelle Mead made this series and decided to make him one of the bigger features. This goes for Eddie Castile as well. I also liked Sydney's character, though I didn't think I did enough to enjoy a series centered on her. I was surprised to find that I did enjoy (mostly) seeing things from her perspective, and this did have me feeling frustrated with myself AND Sydney. I had to put in check my own very liberal and very non-religious beliefs when feeling angry with her for screaming at Adrian for the spirit dream and Jill using her water magic, so this was sort of humbling (despite my still being angry with her, I did keep going "oh for fuck's sake magic is cool you twerp") as this is hard to do.
I did enjoy the book, though I found things a little more predictable than they were in the Vampire Academy series. I guessed what was going on with Adrian and Jill's bond as soon as they wouldn't talk about her attack much in the beginning of the book, and I started suspecting Lee of being some sort of villain early on. Despite this, I found the plot to be interesting and the book still well-written. To The Golden Lily I go!
