The Resurrection by Julie Plec
3.0
I didn't enjoy this one as much as the first two, and overall, the second book is easily my favorite of the three.
The Resurrection takes place 20 years after the second book and Elijah and Rebekah have both found love. However, as always, and in typical JP style, their loves may not be what they seem, or work out how they want in the end...
We follow the Mikaelson's this time as, surprise surprise, they fight off a threat that wants them dead, this time in the form of humans. I won't divulge much more than that for fear of spoiling, but yeah...
Elijah had a lot more page time, which made me very happy, however the circumstances of that page time rattled me a little because how dare they?! I felt that Klaus was slightly OOC this time, saying some things I'd never imagine him saying, and it ruined it a little for me.
Overall, the plot just didn't do it for me. It's still a fun ride, no doubt, but it lacks the tension and atmosphere of the first two, and didn't appeal in ways the second one did. I did, however, enjoy reading the epilogue, I felt it was a fitting end, and it somehow makes me crave more.
A good series, fun adventures all round.
