Which helped me guess the mystery pretty much when the first hints came to light. Sometimes that takes away from the story, but good god, I got to the point where I just didn't care because all I could think about was Sydney and Adrian. I just... they... I can't... CAIT. I WANT AN ADRIAN *wails* <br /><br />I effing love that guy. The entire chapter 24 was just... my heart can't handle it. I was FLYING. SO HAPPY. SO HAPPY And then... asdijfhsdnvklsd! Devestation. Why do I love those kind of endings? I mean, I HATE what they do to the characters, but I love the torment. Given what Richelle did in Shadow Kiss, I'm kind of excited and terrified to see what she has planned at the end of The Indigo Spell, if she follows the same 3rd book SHOCKER.<br /><br />ANYWHO.

I'm so, so, so excited for this book! I heard there's romance everywhere in TGL and I'm crossing my fingers that it's all about Sydney and Adrian. And omg to the ending! The way you said it, it feels like I already know what's gonna happen.Chelhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09113611207753873326noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7935373488687590035.post-91136303969425700912012-06-14T01:47:35.224+01:002012-06-14T01:47:35.224+01:00I just finished Bloodlines last night, and I could...I just finished Bloodlines last night, and I couldn't help but immediately get online and buy The Golden Lily afterwards! Like you, I think I find Sydney easier to empathize with than Rose. Even though I liked the VA series, I felt like the Dimitri/Rose thing was dragged out a little too long, so I was ready for something new! Can't wait to read book two! :)Natalie https://www.blogger.com/profile/15879112865868418812noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7935373488687590035.post-3049751793259325092012-06-13T18:42:52.189+01:002012-06-13T18:42:52.189+01:00You love Sydney more than Rose!? *le gasp* Rose is...You love Sydney more than Rose!? *le gasp* Rose is my favourite heroine ever but I do like Sydney too :) Oh yes that ending! I agree that the plot is a little lacking in this series especially compared to VA but the character development is great, glad you enjoyed it Cait and I enjoyed reading your thoughts!Jesshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02384805896552240183noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7935373488687590035.post-68743247103384166002012-06-13T17:54:02.581+01:002012-06-13T17:54:02.581+01:00I enjoyed reading your opinions of The Golden Lily...I enjoyed reading your opinions of The Golden Lily! I didnt mind the lack or surprise because I'm a more character development lover of the books I read. Adrian and sydney are so amazing in this book! I loved feeling their relationship grow!

I really don't understand how someone as smart as Sydney can't put it all together. Overall I did enjoy the book.

I can't wait to get started on it!<br /><br />I've always been a big Adrian fan too, and I never felt that Rose was right for him, so I'm hoping Sydney will endear herself to me in this book!Leanna Ellehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17156147175772720617noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7935373488687590035.post-5139076180518365582012-06-13T04:52:04.895+01:002012-06-13T04:52:04.895+01:00This, Sydney notices and mentions everything, yet ...This, <i>Sydney notices and mentions everything, yet seems not to have the ability to put everything she sees together</i>, I didn't see until you mentioned and explained it. NOW I get it. And I kind of dig the way you explained it. Because it fits and I can see that would be irritating, and maybe a little untrue to the character.<br /><br />HOWEVER. I'm SUPER GLAD that Sydney and Adrian are working for you as much for me.

I gave it about 100 pages and put it down, I think, because Sidney wasn't Rose, and I wasn't ready to read a VA spin-off without Rose as the heroine. But now I'm thinking I might be. So...go you!
