4.0

I wish Julie would write a thousand more books about the Originals and their years on earth. They've lived so long, they've seen so much of the world and the series barely scratched the surface of it. I understand that tv-series have an end, but the nice thing about books is that less people need to agree on another book. So, I hope both the publicist and Julie want to return to this world one day!

What I loved mostly about this book was Elijah being so human AND the fact that it was stated, on paper, that Elijah is the one you do not want to cross, while Klaus is just emotionally unstable. The chapters from Elijah's point of view are really insightful, because he's very reserved and therefore we don't see that much of him on the outside. But being in his head shows new sides of him making it so easy to fall in love with him!

I enjoyed Rebekah's chapter in this book less. It sounds superficial, but I like Rebekah best when she's in love, but that wasn't the case in this book. I actually hope that maybe a nice guy will cross her path in the next book. We all know already how that ends, but I'm just a sucker for romantic tragedies and crying over loves that will never be!

I did like seeing Klaus being so blindly in love. It wasn't hard to imagine how Joseph would play out these scenes and I would have loved to see them on the big screen. Talking about a tragic love story, this was a master class on it and I loved every second of it.

And on top of the nice storyline, the book read incredibly fast. I will force myself to wait a little before picking the last book up, but I will certainly not wait too long.
