As the plot developed and I grew accustom to being inside of Sydney's head, I began to adore her.This book is amazing and I loved this book entirely. Richelle did a fantastic job in sucking me into this semi new world.I was happy that Adrian wasn't a sap in this book. I expected him to be hurt and grieving but I liked how he handled himself. He also brought all his great humor to the story!!!!!

I didn't know whether this book was a 4 or a 5 for me. I have been so excited for this book for quite a while, and I have to say that it definitely lived up to all of my expectations.

I didn't know whether this book was a 4 or a 5 for me. I have been so excited for this book for quite a while, and I have to say that it definitely lived up to all of my expectations.

Bloodlines is Richelle Mead's second series in the same world. We follow a few familiar characters, but a very different story. Bloodlines follows the story of alchemist, Sydney, who we met in the Vampire Academy series. Sydney isn't the only familiar face along the way. We also get to see some more of Adrian ;), Eddie, and Jill. Sydney is pulled from the comfort of her bed in the middle of the night to go into hiding with Jill.

I love Mead's writing. I loved the Vampire Academy series, so I was really excited for Bloodlines. Whenever I mention Vampire Academy to anyone, I get the standard groan about annoying vampire books, but then I have to explain that this is nothing like any of those other vampire books! They are amazing, unique, so different and original. Mead creates a beautifully written world and characters. They are so much fun to read about and be with.

When we met Sydney in Vampire Academy I loved her. I found her a really interesting person, I wanted to know more. Who was this girl that ate basically nothing, and could disintegrate dead strigoi bodies. It was really awsome getting to know her more, and seeing how much she had developed as a character. Throughout the course of this book we get to know Sydney a lot more than we ever did in Vampire Academy. When we first met her, Sydney was a little mysterious, we didn't really know anything about her. But fans be assured. If you were intrigued by Sydney, then you definitely won't be disappointed.

We also get to see how things are going for some of the other characters. How Eddie is dealing after the events that may turn his life around, how that will impact his future career as a Guardian. How Jill is coping with suddenly being royal and related to the new Queen at that.

I thoroughly enjoyed Bloodlines, I always enjoy Mead's writing. Fans of the Vampire Academy series will not be disappointed. I am already looking forward to the next book in the series, titles The Golden Lily.

4 Adrian Stars

I love Richelle Mead. I love her writing. I love the characters of her books. I love VA. And I guess, I'm a little in love with this series, too. That said, let's move on to the book.

Almost all the characters are already known to us. Almost. Those who are new to the book have certain charm to them. I liked how the story was easy-going. There were not most complexities but still, it was a page turner. I like Adrian but he seems a bit on the arrogant side. While it's kind of good loo ...more

That was awesome! :D

Sydney - I was wondering if I'd like a story from her P.O.V., but I actually liked it. She's no Rose, but she's still awesome. (view spoiler)

Anyway, I think that Sydney has crush on Adrian. I mean she said this about about him,“Emerald green eyes studied us
from a face that could have been sculpted by one of the classical artists I so admired. Shocked, I dismissed the comparison as soon as it popped into my head. This was a vampire, after all. It was ridiculous to admire him the way I would some hot human guy.” So yeah I think that she has a crush on him. Also there ...more

1- I hate the cover
2- I hate Jill
3- I was so detached from the characters I thought I loved back in the day.
4- I was so bored to death by Jill's stupid love life.
5- More Adrian please?
6- I like Sydney but couldn't connect to her at all however I expect that Mead is doing that to have her character develop radically throughout the 6 books.
7- I did like the last 4 chapters.
8- It was predictable yet unpredictable.
9- I need vampires in my life. I love vampires they should be in my life all the ...more

best last sentence ever..haha
"Dimitri Belikov had arrived."
~I really am starting to love Adrian though..I also love the way Richelle Mead done the book in Sydney's point of view..
I hope Sydney would just accept that she has that natural talent in magic..it really is a loss if she won't.
I also think that Sydney and Adrian would be a nice couple :)(haha) even with the difference of their races.. :)

i.just.love.RichelleMead.
