The Immortal Rules by Julie Kagawa
4.0
When I first spotted the cover I thought "Hey, that's interesting." Then I read the back and thought "Hey, that's different." And now I've finished the book and I'm thinking "Julie Kagawa is freaking brilliant."
Its an understatement to say that the whole vampire teen things is overdone. But I figured that since I loved what Kagawa did with her Iron Fey series I would give this book a try. I was not disappointed. I was immediately hooked with the surreal yet quite believable post-apocalyptic world she created. The progression was fast and I loved the action scenes. Kagawa has quite the knack for them.
One important thing that Kagawa did in this book that many teen novels don't is having time pass over the course of the novel. I feel that this is such an important thing and it bothers me when no times passes between events. It doesn't feel realistic. But Kagawa gave me that and I actually smiled when I saw "over the course of the next few weeks" (paraphrased).
However, not everything was perfect. I did not like Allie's love interest. Not...at...all... He was just too perfect and I find perfection in books annoying.
Besides that I really enjoyed this book. I can't wait for the next one.
