Spirit Bound is the fifth and second to last book in the Vampire Academy series written by Richelle Mead.

(It does not contain spoilers from the book)

            Rose is about to became an official guardian. She just had to pass her last test, an action one that will be presence by her mother, her recent known father, her best friend and her new boyfriend, Adrian. Nevertheless, this isn’t the thing that has had her preoccupied lately. The thing that has been on her mind, which has been making her crazy are some letters, sent by her ex-trainer, ex-partner and ex-boyfriend Dimitri. In these letters he had been threaten her. But that isn’t the only reason she has been a bit out of her own lately, she has been also investigating the possibility of turning strigoi back.
Will that be actually possible, or it was just a scam? Even if it is possible it might lead her to some old enemies she thought she had got rid of.

            Spirit Bound was a terrific book. First of all, it is less introductory than others on the series; it goes straight to the point. Lots of things happened in this book, which it even feels, as there were three books in one. The world still continues surprising me; as the series goes on the whole royal system shows more about its way of procedure. I think this is an strong point in this series, as it shows how well conceived the series is.  Also, more about the mysterious spirit users is explained.
Another thing which I personally belief was really well developed along this book was Dimitri’s personality. You can actually feel his change; you can believe it was real. Moreover, I think this could have gone really badly and it didn’t. In addition to Dimitri I really liked Adrian in this book, as he shows his most sensitive side, becoming a really charming character.
However, there were, as it has become a tradition during this series, some predictable topical moments. These topical turns of events are the ones, which are dropping my opinion of this series, and I really lament it.
The other main thing that I dislike about the series is probably the girls attitude, specially Lisa. I can stand rose’s pose because she is actually a strong girl. On the opposite side we have Lisa, who has never done a thing by herself and sometimes acts as she could run the world, she is so full of herself that I have had times I wanted to strangle her.


            To sum up, Spirit Bound was definitely a book worth reading. If you have read the previous one and had been let down a bit, you should keep going.

October Wrap Up - November TBR

Hello again everyone, Today starts a new month and that means that it is time to wrap up the previous month and set this month's TBR. Last month I set an ambitious TBR which I was unable to complete entirely, but I did manage to get a lot read which makes me kind of happy. As I also said on the previous month's post I was going to center this past month's TBR on the "Sweep/ Wicca" series by Cate Tiernan, and that is what I did. I managed to finish the sixth, seventh, eighth, ninth, tenth, and get thought half of the eleventh. I have enjoyed most of this books, however the last two, Seeker and Origins, change the point of view and I have not been able to click with them as I was able to so with the other ones. As for the November TBR, I want to still finish this series, reading the twelfth, thirteenth, fourteenth and sixteenth books in the series, Eclipse, Reckoning, Full Circle and Night Child. Appart from that, I want to keep finishing s...
