Spirit Bound
by Richelle Mead
dark
emotional
mysterious
tense
fast-paced
I am frustrated. I am distressed. I am binging this series like my life depends on it, and Spirit Bound did not give me a moment to breathe.
First of all: Rose is still my girl. Through and through. No matter how messy or impulsive she get's, I adore her.
As for Dimitri...I knew he was going to pull the whole "I can't be forgiven" martyr act after the Strigoin cure, but I'm just so relieved he's alive. Or...un-Strigoified. Whatever. He can mope in the corner all he wants. Rose isn't going to let him stay there forever, and honestly? Neither will I.
Lissa is slightly less irritating in this book. Still not my favorite, but at least she started stepping up when it counted. I'll give her that.
Plot-wise, this book was wild.The mission to find the cure? The actual reversal of Dimitri's transformation?? And then just when I was starting to exhale-BOOM. Rose gets arrested for murdering the queen. That plot twist came out of nowhere and I am once again, emotionally damaged.
One thing I didn't love: the Rose/Adrian romance. It felt wrong the entire time. I like Adrian as a character, but there's no real emotional intimacy between them. It felt like a placeholder for both of them, and I couldn't stop cringing every time they kissed. He deserves better. So does she.
But overall, Spirit Bound kept the pace fast, the tension high, and the stakes high-key brutal. The emotional and action beats landed exactly how they needed to. I have no idea how this series is going to wrap up, but I'm diving in immediately. (Who cares if I have to work tomorrow LOL)
Pray for me as I embark what is sure to be the last straw that breaks the back of my emotional stability.
