I relate to him so much and I don't like how Rose lies to him to keep him away from Lissa. I mean I get why she did, but I think it was kind of a bitchy move on her part. Dimitri also seems like someone who has more to him than is shown on the surface. I'm just so excited about the characters!!! I'm a sucker for a good backstory :)

I guess we're all in agreement about Christian. I don't get why Rose is so petty that she doesn't even give him a chance. But that's one think I like about Rose's character -- she's human with all her imperfections. She's petty and back-stabbing, with Mia for example. I kept thinking: why is Rose lowering herself to Mia's level? And Rose is downright mean -- all the comments about Mia's size? Nasty! The best way to deal with someone like Mia is to ignore her. Don't give her the satisfaction. But Rose is young -- guess she'll just have to learn how to deal with mean people later.

Rose's lying to Christian was mean as well, and likely destructive to Lissa who needs all the support and friendship she can get.

book 4 - blood promise
through chapter 12 (view spoiler)[ I'm interested to see what kind of effect Adrian cutting Rose out of his life is going to have on her. I'm also interested in seeing what effect Avery will have on the group back at the academy. I'm loving the dynamic between Dimitri's family and Rose at the moment and I am enjoying learning more about spirit and the different sets of abilities that come with it. I still don't really like Queen Tatiana, though. (hide spoiler)]

[Fuzaila]

Reading Book #5 Spirit Bound

Chapter 2. (view spoiler)[I really dont like where this is heading. And there is a slight change of tone with most characters. Especially Adrian. They've finally got together but it doesnt seem right with Rose still pursuing Dimitri though. Whats she thinking of btw? Bust out Victor so she might pry out Strigoi secrets which might not even work (we all know it will, but still,) ?? That is highly stupid. Why has she become so.selfish all of a sudden? (hide spoiler)]


Wait. Did this book just slap discrimination onto my face? Royal and 'ordinary' Moroi? God how did i not notice this before?

[Fuzaila]

Chapter 5. (view spoiler)[ Rose has to be the most dynamic character ever. I hate everything about her. Putting herself at risk might be okay, but every other people loyal to her? She cant be that selfish! That too, just to save one strigoi? This is the worst kind of love I have encountered in a book. 😑 (hide spoiler)]

[Fuzaila]

Chapter 6(view spoiler)[. "Dimitri or not, only that getting Victor out played a larger role in the greater good" - are you freaking kidding me? What good would that ever do? Dimitri being human again and having sex with Rose? Yeah thats enough to save the world. (hide spoiler)]

Chapter 15.(view spoiler)[ I hate when this happens. It is always the same. Somekne gets kidnapped. Mostly Lissa. Rose leads guardians to them. They emerge victorious. Happily ever after. Duh. Also why is money treated as the easiest thing available???
(hide spoiler)]

Finished. (view spoiler)[Rose deserved being shunned by Dimitri. Dimitri is slightly better this time. And why is Rose using Adrian like that? She cant treat him like a doormat and dit h him later becoz duh we all know who she is gonna end up with. Either way. Rose has got herself to a funny situation. My guess? No one yet. We need more clues. And yeah Tatiana's murder was kinda surprise. But noot that extra sibling climax. Thanks to spoilers. (hide spoiler)]

[Fuzaila]

Reading Book 6

OMG I just love Adrian so much and Lissa too.. this is already exciting

[Fuzaila]

(view spoiler)[Please dont let rose and dimitri get together again. I have had enough of that. Nope.

Chapter 6.Haaha I loved that punch! (hide spoiler)]

[Fuzaila]

Chapter 18. (view spoiler)[Lissa is getting better and better. And Adrian is the same old innocent soul.
Cant understand what Victor and Robert are intending to do yet, but by the looks of it, Victor isnt in any shape to seek power. Nd pretty sure Lissa will become the Queen. That Prediction by whats-her-name? Sure. Dimitri and Rose are not making any progress yet. And Sonya turning back looked much easier this time than it did when Dimitri was being restored. (hide spoiler)]

[Fuzaila]

Chapter 24. (view spoiler)[what thee....??? Its so infuriating.. everything. Why doesnt Rose trust Abe enough to tell him about the extra Dragomir? He has enough influence after all. (hide spoiler)]

[Fuzaila]

Chapter 26. (view spoiler)[OMG these attacks! Came out of nowhere. It was so surprising (hide spoiler)]

[Monika]

Looking forward to your comments

[Monika]

Oh God ... Its too much when you are just back from vacations and you have a huge pile to unpack and settle AND even more crazy when its turning winters and you have to get all your winter clothes out and put the summer ones in storage.


But Finally started reading today and just at 4% so far feeling exited to read on ... I don't like when Rose starts to act like a Blood whore for bloody any shitty thing.

Lets see how it goes Fuzaila ... As per our discussion on your review, I think a lot many people did not like these books n Rose n Dimitri concept.

[Fuzaila]

Monika wrote: "Oh God ... Its too much when you are just back from vacations and you have a huge pile to unpack and settle AND even more crazy when its turning winters and you have to get all your winter clothes ..."

Yeah that was what I was horrified at! She goes to kill him at first and then on seeing Dimitri - Strigoi or not - she oohs and aahs all over the place. And turns a blood whore aaargh 😑

Good to see you back btw :) Hope you enjoyed your vacations. For us winters and summers make no difference. Its just sunny here all the time. Sometimes I think thats good but sometimes it starts to get too hot too. Lol.

Hey Thanks Dear ... I like both weathers ... although prefer the pleasant one ... in between you know ;P

And you forgot spoiler tagging n by mistake revealed a lot to me already about the Book 4 ... :-(. M just at 12% so far!

[Monika]

Chapter 4 Done (view spoiler)[I am actually not really liking this whole Dimitri was like this ... Dimitri was like that ... Dimitri told X n Dimitri said Y n Z.

I am liking this new type of role ALCHEMIST and poor Sydney ... scared or feeling uneasy being with Rose - The Devil creature of night XD (hide spoiler)]

[Monika]

Chapter 9 Done (view spoiler)[Okay So finally Roza reaches Dimitri's village and straight to his house. Granny is actually creepy. And this Abe thing is intimidating.

Lets see how does it proceed as Roza has explained everything about Dimitri's last day. (hide spoiler)] M feeling book is quiet slow so far!

[Monika]

Chapter 13 Done - Is something going to move on from here ... M getting bored ... something interesting has to happen really soon to keep me hooked to this book plz!!! (view spoiler)[Everything is over at Baia ... what is going to be Roza's next move ... is she really gonna go with Denis n the menis??? (hide spoiler)]

[Monika]

Chapter 16 Done - A few things:

1) How can Dhampir girls be so silly to let the Moroi guys use them.
2) (view spoiler)[I seriously think something is hidden here about Avery and the family ... Surely something between the lines not visible yet (hide spoiler)]
3) (view spoiler)[I did not expect Lissa to react like that on Mia's genuine question ... why she did not go with Rose? (hide spoiler)]
4) Dimka's Granny is really creepy XD

Fuzaila, I really hope Roza does not turn blood whore ... too bad a move it would be.

[Dr. Andy]

Blood Promise is always a rough book to get through, definitely the slowest plot wise of the series.

Yeah... Great to know you think alike. And m happily surprised to see your comment as m being waaaaayyyyy beyond late on this series XD

[Monika]

Chapter 18 page 285 - Now this is kind of interesting. Finally Roza found Dimka or Dimka found Roza ... whatever!!! What next?? B-)

Fuzaila seems to be quiet unhappy for Dimka being polite with Roza ... why this discrimination Fuzaila .... Dont be stone hearted ... have Mercy baby ;-P

Umm just that Strigois aren't supposed to be that way ya' know? Just was pissed of when that happened with Dimitri because he was the main character and all.. so clichè. Also, wait till you read further 😅

I totally agree with you ... Strigoi do not behave anything like what Dimka is behaving now ... and tell you honestly m reading at 322 page as of now and m feeling fishy about it for sure ... i think he is toying with her and has some interest behind all this politeness!!!

May be Dragomire princess ... who knows ... lets see!

I love guessing stuff ;-P

[Monika]

Chapter 26 Done (view spoiler)[I guess everything was so engrossing after Rose and dead Dimitri met. I am totally thrilled at the whole scene between them as Roza fighting her odds given her trapped situation but still she could escape and kill Strigoi Dimitri ... Excellent Action and Drama!

Well as far as revelation of Avery was not a surprise as i had guessed it right when Roza was snapped out of Lissa the very first time.

Surely Avery is Spirit user and has full intentions to degrade Lissa's reputation and make her reckless by offering as much alcohol and unhealthy environment like nonsense parties all the time ... wine instead of water etc. Now her ultimate goal must be something to do with Queen and power ... what exactly it is let us see as the story goes along.

Now that Dimka is finished ... what next Roza .... Going back home to Lissa? (hide spoiler)]

[Monika]

Chapter 28 Page 460 - Wow ... now that's what i like ... as in REALLY REALLY like ... AWESOME Action and Magic and Fantasy .... so many minds in one persons mind ... Compulsion ...
Wow ... I loved the whole scene of (view spoiler)[Lissa/Roza/Adrian/Oksana all fighting together against 3 strong idiots Avery/Simon/Reed (hide spoiler)] Loved it ... In hindi I would say "MAST XD"

[Monika]

Fuzaila ... Now I know what did you mean by Blood Whore .... Thankfully it was not literally the same. But i understand your frustration with Rosa being making out n all with Dimka. He was undead so she should not ... But I guess Love made her do that and Love only made her kill him as well.

Look at me ... M being Philosophical here ;P

Another guess I want to make here ... I think it is Adrian who has put Zmey after Rose ... I donno ... Just a wild guess. Otherwise why would this dangerous Zmey would be anything but badass to Roza.

Aahh That was myyy favourite part 😍😍 Just like in the first one (or was it the second?) where Cristian and Rose worked together... omg I was Awed.. only good thing about the whole book

Yeah I guess... but love was kind of weak there.. he wasnt really same anymore.. thankfully, it wasnt really a blood whore thing...

Ah, you're gonna find out soon ;) thats one of the next best part (lol I am so in praise of these books I two starred?🤣)

Fuzaila wrote: "Monika wrote: "Fuzaila ... Now I know what did you mean by Blood Whore .... Thankfully it was not literally the same. But i understand your frustration with Rosa being making out n all with Dimka. ..."

Oh my goodness.... U r right ... New good part is who sent Zmey to watch out for Rose .... I dint think of this at all .... So Abe is Rose's father and he was keeping an eye out of his free will and i would say affection towards his daughter .... nice .... I like it.

[Monika]

Finished (view spoiler)[
Well here is stage set for Book 5 with this Robert guy and I am so glad Dimka is still around. I was thinking as a possibility as restoring a strigoi to alive thing was been talked about which was indicating Dimka might come back .... Oh I love Dimka ... But the Alive one not the undead one (hide spoiler)]

Yess!! I love Abe. And the part where Rose exclaims OMG I AM ABE MAZUR'S DAUGHTER.. I AM A ZMEY... haha

Glad you loved it! I am positive you would love the fifth book too. And YOU WOULD NEVER GUESS THE ENDING HAHA. Sorry I am such a spoiler 🤣

Oh yes ... I am Zmey Junior ... that was funny. And when her mother says two of you are kind of similar and she says "Are you kidding, He is arrogant, sarcastic and likes to intimidate people and ... Oh - Maybe she has a point" This one was also funny ... crazy me i remember the dialog.

Neah you are not at all a spoiler ... M sure i would love the next book if it is like this one's 2nd half. Honestly ... First half was boring.

[Monika]

Chapter 3 Page 63 (view spoiler)[Alright ... So Rose is getting along with Adrian ... No doubt he is a nice n hot man but I really doubt that Rose might actually crack this quiz of turning Strigoi back to Dhampir for the sake of Dimka. And then she will be in the worst position of saying no to Adrian and going back to Dimka .... As in no way she will leave Dimka if he is available. (hide spoiler)]

[Dr. Andy]

Book 5 is definitely better than book 4, lots of crazy things happen in it!

[Monika]

Andrea wrote: "Book 5 is definitely better than book 4, lots of crazy things happen in it!"

Oh really ... I look forward to it. Fiction is all about crazy things ;D

[Monika]

Chapter 4 Done (view spoiler)[I am not very happy with people having this mindset about Rose n Adrian being a TEMPORARY couple ... sounds disgraceful.

Okay now Rosehas got the prison's details record ... what next (hide spoiler)]

[Ashley W]

Chapter 5
(view spoiler)[ There's something I don't like about Tasha. She comes off as fake to me. Rose needs to move on from the Dimitri thing. (hide spoiler)]

[Ashley W]

Chapter 12
(view spoiler)[ I can get why Rose is so upset about her mom, but I would definitely want her around at a time like this. Bet she's great under pressure. (hide spoiler)]

[Ashley W]

Chapter 18
(view spoiler)[ Glad Rose isn't stringing Mason along anymore. I feel bad for him though. Pretty dumb of them just to take off. I get Mia, because she's still upset. The other two needed to think. (hide spoiler)]
