A review by ylvasorli
The Compelled by Julie Plec, L.J. Smith, Kevin Williamson
3.0
Satisfying ending to the series, although I wish it would have ended with a preface on how he met Elena, so that there would be more of a connection to the "The Vampire Diaries" books. This book ended in the year 1888 or something, so going over a 100 years forward in time would be a little strange maybe, but I think that would bring the books more together.
You can really tell by the writing that this is a book (and series) for teenagers, even with the gory details. I like that all the books are around 200 pages long and that the events happen over a matter of days or weeks, so it's fast paced and very easy to read. There are a lot of repetition of past events (probably to remind the reader of all the things that have happened). The plot is boring at times and not the most exciting, but if you have read the TVD books or seen the series, and you want more of a backstory to why Stefan and Damon hate eachother, these books are entertaining enough. I would give the series something between 3 and 4 stars, all in all. I think I'm a bit too old for these, but I still enjoyed reading all of them.
