Each book felt divided from the others which in my personal opinion made it feel a bit choppy and not as fluid as the first series. I had this problem with the show Merlin, and I have the same issue here. My biggest dislike is when books read as though each book is an individual adventure or "episode". The overall episodic nature of the series. I didn't mind because it opened the door to lots of interesting supernatural subplots but I did feel like in retrospect I didn't get what I signed up for. Instead the danger revolved around Sydney's personal choices and Jill was hardly ever the target. I expected there to be more of a continuous struggle between Sydney and the rebels trying to assassinate Jill- that never happened. The synopsis is a little misleading.in a good way.
Their sassy banter, ride-or-die trust in each other, and high stakes love affair is exactly the type of thing that keeps a YA fan's heart beating. If you love romance, you'll love this series! The relationship between Sydney and Adrian was undoubtedly the best part. Sydney was a fantastic heroine! Intelligent, resourceful, relatable- everyone knows a friend who is just like her.Īll the supernatural elements involved were fun to read about! If you're a fan of the supernatural, example: vampires, witches, vampire hunters, demons, magic, alchemy, etc., then you'll love this series too. I particularly loved the romantic relationships that carried the narrative throughout the series. The series has been so popular that the author, although complete with this series, has begun another series based on other characters in The Vampire Academy.Strong character development- all of the characters were believable and well-thought out. There is also and incredibly powerful love story between two guradians, Rose and Demetri - which is forbidden for many reasons. These stories follow the Dragomir princess Lisa (the very last in her line, and therefore she is very valuable and most want to see her dead - really dead) and her guardian Rose and the very special bond these two share.
Then of course the evil vamps, the Strigoi, who follow most vampire rules. Those tweleve families have guardians that go to school with the vampires and train very very hard to protect them. There are good vamps, the Moroi, that can even go out in the sunlight and they are governed by the royal families. This series takes vampires to a new level. I stumbled across this series and could not get enough. Yes, I have to say, even better than the Twilight series. These were the BEST Vampire books I have EVER read.
