joelfr 's review for:
Last Sacrifice
by Richelle Mead
It's not like this book didn't have flaws, but I didn't have the plot twists all predicted this time around. Plus I just love the characters and the whole series so much I had to push it to five stars. This series is too much fun to pass up.
I liked the way Rose and Dimitri developed their relationship. They're essentially starting over, trying to be friends, trying to still respect their jobs and friendships and their self respect. It's compelling.
And the society stuff was good again, which I feel like I've said in every review, but we found yet another different perspective in this book in the Keepers and it was interesting. It could have been developed more, or come back in at the end, but it was interesting.
So many of these installments have been entertaining to me without being surprising, but this one did both. I predicted the love triangle outcome a long time ago, of course, but the identity of Tatiana's murderer left me guessing until just before Rose told everyone. It made sense, but it wasn't entirely easy to guess for me.
Speaking of that love triangle though...
He was right too though, that Rose made out a lot better than maybe she should have. She got her guy, and got a stellar job, even after all her misbehaving. It was a tad perfect, but I can't begrudge her, the girl that feels like a friend to me, her good luck and happiness. She's a good enough person to deserve it.
Then we have the uncertain future for secondary characters like Sydney and Eddie, though it looks like they appear in the companion series, so that's probably going to turn out to just be a good set-up.
I recommend this series so much, it's so much fun to read and the books just kept getting better and better.

Poor Adrian. I knew he wasn't gonna get the girl but I still felt for him at the end there. He was a solid character. Rose had it right though, I think that they were genuinely not right for each other. I just wish she hadn't cheated on him.He was right too though, that Rose made out a lot better than maybe she should have. She got her guy, and got a stellar job, even after all her misbehaving.
