The Indigo Spell

I rather give the book 3.5 stars so yeah. I kinda thought it was boring and not too much was happening in it. All this magic-exercise thingy and spending quality time with Adrian (the two other events with Sonya and Ian including Marcus) wasn't that exciting for me to read. I like Richelle Mead's style but sometimes it just starts to annoy me. Sydney and Adrian start to annoy me with their blabbering etc...the character just seem so shallow from time to time. Still, I wanna know what happens with the Alchemists and the new, great enemy. Let's hope, it gets better again.

Nur für noch für hartgesottenen Fangirls interessant. Der Plot ist schwach, viele Handlungselemente wurden nur eingefügt, damit Sydney und Adrian etwas zusammen unternehmen müssen und es zu romantischen Situationen kommt, sowas ist typisch für Fanfiction und wie eine Fanfiction kommt mir dieses Buch vor. Richelle Mead hat aus diesem Spin-off bis jetzt leider kein großes Ganzes machen können, die Liebesgeschichte ist der einzige fortlaufende Handlungsstrang und während es in den ersten beiden Büchern noch angenehm langsam vorwärtsging, bekommen wir jetzt die volle Dröhnung und die Wünsche der Leserinnen werden erstmal erfüllt. Aber leider hat sie aus dem charismatischen Badboy Adrian ein liebeskrankes Hündchen gemacht, das treudoof seiner Sydney hinterherdackelt und nur noch hin und wieder seinen sarkastischen Humor aufblitzen lässt. Die angeblich so hochintelligente Sydney hingegen spart sich ihre Begabungen für die Schularbeiten auf und glänzt ansonsten nur durch Begriffsstutzigkeit. Diese Reihe ist jetzt für mich langweilig geworden und ich werde sie nicht mehr weiterverfolgen.

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.

I wasn't sure about the magic-storyline but in the end i enjoyed it a lot and in the end i was really surprised - i didn't expect this at all! Oh but the "end-end", well the last scene, was also unexpected - no spoilers here, but i think it will cause A LOT of trouble! I'm really excited for the next book now and i hope Richelle Mead won't disappoint me (although it's almost impossible ... i just love all the characters too much and i'd love to read more about them!
