Hey everyone!!
I know it's really soon since I last wrote to be writing another review but I couldn't not write the review of this book. This book for which I have been waiting SOO long and have been dying to read which came out like a week back. Yep. It is the fifth book in the Bloodlines series by Richelle Mead: The Silver Shadows.
I am in Kerala right now and should ideally not be on allowed on the computer because my mom says that time in India should be spent with my grandparents - which I totally agree with - but if I couldn't wait another hour to write this review how was I expected to wait 2 weeks?! Okay, so lets get to the good parts shall we?
A lot of you may not have read it this soon so as usual *SPOILER ALERT*.
If I could personally go to Richelle's house and threaten her to tell me the next part of the story, I would. But, I can't, so I'm just gonna go with screaming my lungs out till they're dry.
Why? Oh why, can't they have a happy ending for once?!? Is that too much to ask?!
Okay, let's back up a bit.....The Wedding. Like WTF just happened?!?! I was in the flight while reading that scene and I was just like "Whoa...back up, what in the name of Merlin's most baggy Y-fronts just happened?" (Did u get what I did there Potterheads? *wink,wink*)
I mean one minute my adrenaline is up and they're being chased by Alchemists all over the place and the next Adrian is on one knee asking Sydney is she would marry him! And I'm in the flight facing severe turbulence and I'm hyperventilating because of what just happened and my mom who is sitting right next to me thinks I'm having a panic attack because of the turbulence....not that that happens very often.
You can't blame me though, any sane person in my situation would have done the same right? Right? Okay, maybe not... But after I had my little episode, the reality of the situation kicks in and my feels are all over the place. They're getting married for god's sake! In Vegas no less. And my heart is literally doing a little dance in it's rib cage. And may I just say that the wedding to me was PERFECT. I don't know why but I feel that no matter where, how, when or why they get married, it doesn't dim the fact that they love each other so much that it really doesn't matter in what conditions or for what reasons they got married but that they're bond is so strong that they could do it and accept it with just the blink of an eye.
And so they had the most perfect wedding, not in fairytale standards but they're own, which is what ultimately matters the most. So, after everything, after Sydney nearly dying at re-education, Adrian almost giving himself alcohol poisoning, barely escaping from re-education, thwarting Sheridan and the Alchemists, Lissa allowing Adrian to keep Sydney at Court and Daniella and Nathan splitting up I really was not expecting the one person who supported them from the beginning, the one person who was always there, to get kidnapped. That blow hit really hard, but how could I have been so stupid to have actually thought that Richelle would actually leave them alone to have a much needed 'happily ever after'? How could I have forgotten that this was only the second last of the series and not the last?
So, now after dying to know what happens in The Silver Shadows, I am left back to square one with anticipation for the next book. All in all I will give this book a 4/5 rating, because no doubt about it I loved it but there were some parts where the pain was too agonizing to comprehend. (Okay, maybe I'm being a little too dramatic)
All that being said, I'm really going to miss you all. I won't be seeing you for 2 weeks at the least. Belated Happy Friendship Day to all of you, cause you're all my best friends.
Byeee :)
