The Immortal Rules by Julie Kagawa
4.0
I have no idea why it took me so long to read The Immortal Rules! I loved The Iron Fey series by Kagawa, so it makes sense I'd pick up The Immortal Rules at some point.
I'm not sure what I was expecting, but The Iron Fey and The Immortal Rules are very, very different. Julie Kagawa is just so amazing at putting her own twist on things! The vampires are definitely in charge, and treat humans as cattle. I was so fascinated by the UnRegistered and the Rabids and a disease that killed off a lot of the human population. It's all futuristic and dark and not what I was expecting. She did a great job creating this world and creating characters who are interesting and start to question everything they've believed in.
I'm not completely sure about Allison as a character. It took me a while to warm up to her, and while I didn't completely love her, I did sort of like her and understand where she was coming from. Zeke was just okay but it was nice to see a potential love interest who shows up half-way through the novel. Actually, the romance was set-up really well, and there are going to be quite a few problems they have to work through. But I liked that we get an idea of what this world is like and how people see vampires. It really wasn't easy for Allison to be a vampire, and I liked seeing how people treated her before knowing she was a vampire and how they treated her after finding out.
Back to characters, Kanin was really interesting, and it's too bad we don't see more of him! I think I like him better with Allison, but I have the feeling it's not going to go that way. There's a lot of mystery as far as Kanin is concerned so hopefully, we see more of him.
It did start off a little slow for me, but once things got going, I found myself enjoying it more and wanting to know what happened!
Final Thoughts: I really liked The Immortal Rules. I don't love it the way I loved The Iron Fey, but I love the way Kagawa takes vampires or fairies and makes them really interesting. The Immortal Rules gets 4 stars!
