The Indigo Spell by Richelle Mead

The Indigo Spell (Bloodlines, #3)

by Richelle Mead

Sydney Sage is an Alchemist, one of a group of humans who dabble in magic and serve to bridge the worlds of humans and vampires. They protect vampire secrets—and human lives.

In the aftermath of a forbidden moment that rocked Sydney to her core, she finds herself struggling to draw the line between her Alchemist teachings and what her heart is urging her to do. Then she meets alluring, rebellious Marcus Finch—a former Alchemist who escaped against all odds, and is now on the run. Marcus wants to teach Sydney the secrets he claims the Alchemists are hiding from her. But as he pushes her to rebel against the people who raised her, Sydney finds that breaking free is harder than she thought. There is an old and mysterious magic rooted deeply within her. And as she searches for an evil magic user targeting powerful young witches, she realizes that her only hope is to embrace her magical blood—or else she might be next.

Initial Thoughts

I’m in love with this series and everything about it. My expectations will stay high because I believe really hard that the author won’t mess it up. So far so good!

My New BFF

I really love Sydney. I find she’s an inspiring character. I love that she can think for herself even though she’s been conditioned not to. She’s not perfect in any way and sometimes she does some stupid things but she always makes up for it. It just feels like she’s a real person instead of a made up character in a book. She’s very realistic and I love that about all these characters. She never does anything for herself, always for her friends, and even the vampires she supposedly hates. She’s just a great person no matter what happens around her.

My Crush

It’s impossible to read this book and not fall in love with Adrian. I don’t even know what it is! He just has such an intense personality that you can’t help but laugh whenever he says something. I think it’s hilarious that he knows he’s good looking and lets other people know that he’s fantastic. All his little comments make the book so much better.

Writing Style

There’s nothing bad about this book at all. The plot is intense and doesn’t give you a chance to put the book down. All the characters have intense personalities that are always developing and changing. I like that the characters learn from their mistakes instead of doing the same thing over and over again. Basically this book is as close to perfection as you can get.

Closing Thoughts

My favourite part about this book was that they introduced some new characters. Now there’s a ton of characters to fall in love with! I like how all the new characters introduced are all important to the plot in some way. Not all the characters are good but I love seeing all the new personalities that the author has created. I think that’s why I love this series so much. When you read it you get attached to the characters and you feel everything they feel. I think that that’s the most important aspect of a book for me and that’s why I can’t put this series down.
