The Immortal Rules Blood of Eden Julie Kagawa Books

I rarely re-read books. Too many books, too little time but I'm also a little hesitant to re-read a book that I loved because I'm afraid that it won't have the same impact on me. Or, the fear that I won't have the same love for the book or characters that I had the first time around.

I read The Immortal Rules for the first time almost 4 years ago and since then I've suggested it to countless friends (who have loved it!) and customers at the library where I work. When I first describe it as 'a dystopian read about vampires' some people shut down the idea right away. Perhaps they're tired of vampires in general but this series is different from other vamp tripe out there. It's a smartly written story with great characters and a non-stop pace. I'm not a big fan of Kagawa's other series (Iron Fey or Talon) but this The Blood of Eden series is amazing.

Just like my first read through, Kagawa took me into her world and didn't let go until the last sentence. I read this book in a couple of days and even though I still remembered how things would pan out for Allie I was riveted. I love the idea of this young girl suddenly having to embrace something that she's feared her whole life as she struggles with the monster within her. She's a strong, self-sufficient girl who readers can relate to right from the beginning. She makes mistakes but she's fiercely loyal and just trying to figure out how to deal with her new lot in 'life'.

After re-reading this book I'm more than eager to re-read the second book in the series, The Eternity Cure (which was also amazing!!!), followed by The Forever Song, the third book in the trilogy which I have yet to read but has been on my Kindle for years. Shameful, I know.

Fast-paced with a new look at the popular vampire theme this book will have you on the edge of your seat with its twists as the reader follows Allie's journey to be more than the monster within her.

My Rating: 4.5/5 stars

The Immortal Rules Blood of Eden Julie Kagawa Books Reviews

Far too often, YA novels lauded for their 'strong female characters' have me throwing the book across the room in frustration and asking, loudly and rhetorically, "IN WHAT UNIVERSE?"

Not THE IMMORTAL RULES.

Allison Sekemoto is a human living in a city ruled by vampires. A wall separates them from zombies ("rabids") roaming just outside the city limits. There are two kinds of humans in Allie's world those that go willingly as feudal slaves and get fed in exchange for the tithes of their blood, and those who live off the grid, forced to scavenge in the ruins of civilization for food, shelter, and comfort. Allie was a member of the latter group, until a terrible accident results in her near-death, and she's forced to become what she hates in order to survive.

It's difficult to say too much more without spoiling anything, and this is a book that really should be read knowing as little as possible. In a way, it's a lot like ANGELFALL, in the sense that it's a post-apocalyptic world filled with paranormal characters, and a butt-kicking Asian girl who wields a sword. I actually like THE IMMORTAL RULES a lot better, though, as Allie is far more likable, the world-building is much more consistent, and the love interests - Ezekiel and, I suspect, Kanin - are much nicer, and more interesting, than the angel dude was in ANGELFALL.

I really can't wait to read the next book (which I own- what would I do if I didn't? Cry, probably). I'm really, really trying hard to be rational and explain my love for this book without spoiling the story or screaming nonsensically in all caps, and it's SO HARD, oh my god. The heroes and villains were handled with equal care, and the world was convincingly grim. I read this pretty much in a single sitting, putting it down only to eat, drink, and occasionally rest my eyes. This is such a good story and if you're a fan of dystopian novels like THE HUNGER GAMES or vampires, you should read this.
