Wow, I am totally amazed. Sure, I can somehow say I saw it coming. But I guess I was more hoping for this change. For Sidney Sage's change of believe and behavior.
So far The Indigo Spell was the best out of the Bloodlines-series. Richelle Mead totally got me with this one.

But of course, it is hard to tell from to beginning to the end if Sidney will give in and turn to love and friends, and away from the Alchemists. It's been hard on her to get on a trip to deceive the ones she grew up with, who educated her on almost everything she knows and to tell her what's right and wrong. But you can easily tell that it's eating on her, that there are those secrets the Alchemists keep from her. She wants to know the truth. She wants to right the wrong, even though if the wrong ones are the Alchemists.

Sidney's adventure continues. And her new little family grew on her, some closer than others. But she feels for every single one.
By the end you can tell, that Sidney will still have a lot of tasks upon her. And it's hard to wait for the next book. ( )

Indigo Spell: Spolier Review This book was so good and it became much less predictable hence the five stars that i gave it. I am really loving the relationship between sydney and adriana and I can't wait to see where it goes in the future books. I love how complex this relationship is and also why it not easy for these characters to been in these relationships. I love high stakes relationships it makes the drama and and the love even more intense.
 
I also love the side stories with Jill and Eddie. I love them being so not aware of the others feelings and again it is slow profession but one that I am really enjoying. I think eddie is still one of my favorite characters in this series by far.
 
I thought this book really bought the drama and had some great fight scenes and also a lot of stuff that really struck the core that was sydney. I love how she is being challenged from all sides especially when magic is concerned. 
 
That is one of the parts of this book that I love her learning of magic and how good she is at it even if she hates it. It is very similar to her feeling for adrian in some ways.
 
I think the series really focus on her trying to find herself in so many ways that is the heart and soul of this story and I love it. I can't wait to see how her sisters presence my effect the future books! ( )

The Indigo Spell by Richelle Mead in a great addition in the Vampire Academy universe.

Typically, when an author breaks off from the original series and creates a prequel/sequel series it's not very good - Richelle Mead is one of the few authors that has created a hit. She stands alongside JK Rowling with Harry Potter and Fantastic Beasts, Cassandra Clare with TMI and TID and many other greats.

Bloodlines became my guilty pleasure when it came out. After striking gold with Vampire Academy and having me hooked there, of course Richelle had to create a story centered around everybody's boyfriend - Adrian Ivashkov. With Adrian and Sydney leading this series, we have two strong, able leads who always keep things interesting.

Our leads grow a lot within this book - this appears to be the book mainly for character development. There is still an epic plot, with fast paced action and over the top drama, but the main part of this book that kept me interested was how the characters were changing and growing. Richelle always seems to have one book in her series that has a strong sense of character development, and it always ends up being one of the better books in the series.

This book does lack a lot of the friendly side characters we grew to love, but don't worry! They appear in later books!! This book's main focus is Adrian and Sydney. There are a few new characters introduced to make up for that empty space - and that includes a little witchcraft! While I didn't enjoy these characters as much as our typical brood (Angeline, Eddie, Jill, etc) they were still a nice edition to the story.

Overall, this supernatural story is a definite recommended read from me! Start from the beginning (Bloodlines) or the VERY VERY beginning (Vampire Academy) if you want some great reads to fill your time. They definitely are worth it! Keep in mind these are YA novels - so there is lots of young adult love and drama, and of course this book has vampires. Not your typical vampires, but still...vampires. There was a trend a few years back, if you can't remember. Vampires were "the thing".

Five out of five stars. ( )

This installment didn't really contain anything interesting except for the romance. I'm probably done with this series. ( )
