Originally posted at Alive or Undead.Rating: 5/5My opinion: I'm dumbfounded. I will admit I started this book with no expectations, trying to forget who was responsible for the ink. Richelle Mead is, indeed, my favorite author. But I didn't want this to be a The Casual Vacancy case I, thank God, had...

3.5/5 - Had Justin been half as smart as he was supposed to be, he would've figured out it was Odin who was trying to claim him. The mere mention of two ravens or 'thought and memory' should've hinted him of this not-so mysterious god but woe begone, the alleged witty man didn't have a single clue. ...

4 ½ starsOriginally posted at The Bookaholic CatGameboard of the Gods is a book very rich in world building and character development. Mrs. Mead gives us a futuristic utopian world where biological manipulation, religion, and cultural separatism are seen as the cause from the Decline of the world.No...

Ugh. I'm hesitant to rate this book at the moment. Richelle Mead is one of my all-time favourite authors. I loved her Succubus, Dark Swan, and Vampire Academy series, and I only just warmed up to Bloodlines. But, Age of X just didn't do it for me. That's not to say it wasn't bad; it just wasn't exac...

In the last quarter of the book, there is absolutely quite a lot of action and suspense. To start with, however, the book is actually quite slow, as we are introduced to Justin, who is...

I've been a fan of Richelle Mead for a few years now and her latest novel - one which differs quite a bit from her previous work - still manages to shine through with Mead's trademark humour, sexiness and morally questionable characters. Despite the rather average rating, I do see a lot of potential...

Mead shows just how complex she can get in this sci-fi, fantasy with a dab hand of mythology series.Genetic reproduction, manipulation and enhancement of genes which is directly tied to the socioeconomic structures of the population. Class structures defined by good genes vs bad genes. So more or le...

3.5 stars. Wasn't as bad as other reviews claim, but then again, not Richelle Mead's best.

This is going to be a hard review. This book is filled with mystery, the paranormal, fights, political intrigue and even magic. However, what it has little of is plot. Because of that the other aspects of the book often seemed to get muddled and although not confusing, but not clear either. At the s...
