But I enjoy the tone of her voice even though she doesn’t “put on a show.” Her narration style is straightforward, without a lot of flair. This series is narrated by Emily Shaffer. I don’t have much to add by way of audiobook comments. I really like Sydney but she isn’t a very interesting narrator (at least in the beginning). In its own right, I thought it moved a little slow, perhaps due to being in Sydney’s head. It sets the stages and leaves several storylines ripe for future exploration. I felt like Bloodlines was a good “setup” book much like many other series books from Richelle Mead. His sharp and witty commentary adds so much to the story and helps to loosen up an extremely uptight Sydney. I was elated when he shows up in Bloodlines. Much to her dismay, she has to pose as family Jill and Eddie (Jill’s guardian). In Bloodlines, she’s assigned to help keep Jill Dragomir safe, as there have been threats to her life. She became rather fond of Rose and even began to like her, something she’s had to keep hidden from her peers. Sydney is the heroine of the series, whom we met in the VA series when she worked with Rose as she tracked down Dimitri. They are religious and think that the Moroi (and even the dhampirs) are unnatural demonic beings. What you need to know in a nutshell is that Alchemists know about the existence of the Moroi and dhampirs and they are there to basically act as a team to keep humans from finding out about them. So when I needed a fun series to entertain me while I packed up my apartment in preparation for a move, I thought it was the perfect time for some Syndrian!įor those of you that didn’t read Vampire Academy ( read my review), Sydney is an Alchemist. I read The Indigo Spell shortly after its release but never got around to finishing the next book, The Fiery Heart.

I first started reading the Bloodlines series back in 2012 (I think) when I discovered the amazingness of Richelle Mead’s Vampire Academy series.
