javalenciaph 's review for:
The Golden Lily
by Richelle Mead
Let me begin by saying that I tried to pace myself while reading this book. I noticed that I was averaging a book a day and that would soon leave me without any new books to read if I didn't rein in my reading. Well, while it did take me a tad longer than usual to finish "The Golden Lily" (I tried to take as many long breaks in between chapters as possible) but the last few chapters had me gripped 'til the end.
Speaking of the end, I'm rather frustrated with how the book ended BUT I'm happy with how the story was paced and with the introduction of the Warriors of Light, the rogue group that were once aligned with the Alchemists.
Also, while I'm still very much a Dimitri fan, Adrian is growing on me and I think it has a lot to do with the fact that he isn't the spoiled Moroi he appeared to be in the Vampire Academy series. Sydney...well...suffice it to say that if I could smack some sense into that overly sensible but oh-so-clueless head of hers, I would.
The Eddie-Jill-Angeline triangle is interesting but the fact that these girls are young and worried about getting into relationships is a little bothersome. Am I being a prude about it? Maybe but sheesh, Jill is 15!
I know "The Indigo Spell" isn't out yet so I guess I'll have to bide my time until its release... Of course, I'm leaning towards waiting for the trade paperback edition (hey, a girl's got to save every now and again!) so that'll mean a longer wait on my end. *sigh*
All in all, a good sequel to "Bloodlines" and a great continuation to the series while maintaining its own new set of storylines.
