The mission given to her, however, will challenge her more than she ever thought because once again, she’s going to get contact with the Moroi, and familiar Moroi at that. After her incident with Rose Hathaway, she is determined to prove that she can be trusted and fielded again by the alchemists. But one point of interest for you, dear readers, to consider is that Richelle Mead tries and explains the jargon while moving forward with her plot, like any self-respecting author would.īloodlines start with Sydney Sage, our favorite alchemist from VA, woken up by a mission that could potentially get her in the good graces of the alchemists once again. But it certainly helps to get a good hang of their world. I mean, it’s been half a year since I read the Vampire Academy series, and I still got on with Bloodlines okay. So go check out Vampire Academy if you still haven’t!īut I guess you can read Bloodlines without starting off VA. A very good background about the worlds the characters move in will always arouse me.

Maybe by turning off her brain - and following her heart - she’ll be able to finally figure out where she belongs.To be honest, I’ve been finished reading these three books last weekend, and suffice to say, it ruined my life, as expected from Richelle Mead.

Using magic goes against everything she thought she believed, but she realizes that her only hope is to embrace her special blood - or else she might be next.

Is it possible that her golden lily tattoo might have more power over her than she thinks? Sydney is soon compelled to use her growing magical powers to track down an evil magic user who is targeting young witches.

With Marcus’s help, Sydney realizes that the group she’s been loyal to her whole life has been hiding the truth from her. Then she finally tracks down Marcus Finch - a former Alchemist who the organisation denies exists, and who lives in shadows, on the run. In the aftermath of a forbidden moment that rocked Sydney to her core, she struggles to draw the line between her Alchemist teachings and what her heart is urging her to do.
