The Golden Lily
by Richelle Mead
I was wondering if I should give it a 3-star rating or 4-stared. 4 stars it is.
Overall, good book, I think. God, I'm sick of rating everything as a "good book"; can a truly amazing or a truly annoyingly dumb book come across my path already? Anyway, The Golden Lily. I don't know if I liked it better than Bloodlines; Bloodlines had had more of the whole suspense Oh-my-God someone is going to die factor.
Brayden was boring, honestly, as were his dates with Sydney. Jill is boring, kind of, although Eddie and Angeline are not. And DIMITRI!! I'd forgotten how much I liked him, my distaste of Vampire Academy made me forget that I'd liked Adrian AND Dimitri both. Sigh.
I've missed Dimitri, although Rose and annoying mentions of Rose, are as annoying as ever. The book was cool, I liked how Sydney developed a kind of mutual comfort for the Moroi slash Dhampirs, it would be a such a shame if she hadn't. That's definitely a +1 in writing credits, I won't say I love the author, but she's pretty good in a way.
Ah, well. Warriors of the Light, blahblahblah- boring. Trey is cool, I didn't actually expect him to be in this mess in the first place, and these Warriors are annoying. Also, kind of dumb. There's an entire organization and none of them figured out Sonya was a Moroi. Seriously? I wonder what the rest of the Moroi community thinks about so many guardians suddenly flying away to Palm Springs for a night. Shady, much?
Ah, and the best of all. Adrian Ivashkov, you never disappoint. He's so amazing, I actually feel the need to sit down and go asrxhfjdivkssubjlkl over him. He's amazing, I cry. (Anyone else imagine him as Colin O'Donoghue, or is that just me?) And the SYDRIAN kiss, ohmygod. Sydney STOP BEING DUMB. If I was you, I'd sacrifice my kidneys for that man. He's so sweet and kind and crazy and weird and kind of uncontrollable; I mean, lying about driving lessons? I would die if anyone did that to me. By anyone, I obviously mean a certain brown-haired, green-eyed Moroi vampire with a knack of spirit in him. Hmm, too bad he's not real.
Well, good book or bad book, I think it's a common known fact enough, that I'm shallow enough to continue reading, and loving, any series that has that Ivashkov in it. ;)
