I decided to review the entire
series instead of individual books since I read them consecutively. I feel like
I got the most out of the story this way. I have to say, this was a GREAT
series. I’m not seriously into vampire romance novels but this one definitely basks
in the limelight. To say that this series is the heir to the Twilight throne doesn't do it justice,
especially since the books are nothing alike.
It was sexy. It was fun. It was
about redemption, love, and honor.
The
heroine of the book, Rose Hathaway is a dhampir (half vampire, half human)
training to be a guardian for her vampire (Moroi) best friend, Lissa, all the while
defending the vampire world from the evil undead (Strigoi) and keeping her own life in order. Rose proves to
be a strong willed and slightly hard headed warrior, who breaks and bends laws
more than she follows them. She’s impulsive with a heart of gold. In short, she’s
addicting. I could barely put any of these books down, constantly trying to
work out Rose’s problems.
The other
characters were also equally as interesting. The main love interest, Dimitri
Belikov, proves to be a great match both mentally and physically for Rose,
which makes why she fell for him easy to see. He is also easy to fall in love
with for readers. He’s hot, strong, patient, has a Russian Accent, calls Rose “Roza”. He’s impossible not to love.
I
especially appreciate that the other characters had their own wants and needs
and the books aren't entirely about Rose.
I only
really had one issue: I found that some of the sections where we see into Lissa’s
life happened too often and occurred too long.
Favorite book: Spirit Bound
Because this book
seemed to flow better than the others, and showed the best development for
Dimitri.
Least favorite book: Blood Promise
Because the
first 300 pages are necessary but are slow filled and anti-climactic.
If you
like vampire books, and strong heroines, pick this book up!
