Book Review: The Indigo Spell by Richelle Mead Published February 12th, 2013

While I did enjoy The Indigo Spell, this may be my least favourite book from Richelle Mead's VA and Bloodlines series.  I can even give you an exact reason why...

Action.  There was not enough of it.  Sydney was finally starting to make a name for herself as a badass, and then this happened.  For a series of books built off of hand-to-hand combat against evil vampires and the more recent development of magic, very little happened in this book.  I won't even start on the underwhelming Marcus Finch.  The guy is just a big talker.

The saving grace here was the fact that I am so deeply committed to this series that virtually nothing could turn me off.  She could have killed Adrian and I would have been pissed but still loved the book.

The building romantic themes was what I enjoyed.  It's nice to see Sydney becoming a little more human (for lack of a better word...).  The ending was also well done, and sets up for what should be an interesting plot in The Fiery Heart.

Overall, I was underwhelmed but not angry with the book.  I just wanted more kickass.

PS.  Thank you Richelle Mead for the quick Rose and Dimitri cameo.  I appreciate it greatly. Labels: book review, Richelle Mead, The Indigo Spell, YA
