Review:
Silver Shadows definitely brought back the action. No longer did I find myself lost in thought while reading, this book was a page turner.
This book read more like the original Vampire Academy series, packed with action and an actual romance. Their relationship no longer felt uneasy and childish as it did in the previous books- it was all love and finally being comfortable with it once they found each other again. I guess being held captive will put things into perspective for you..
There were a few side stories developing in the background and I see either another spin off series or a larger portion of the future books being dedicated to these characters. (Marcus and his group of runaway alchemists, specifically Duncan and his gf)
I was a little disappointed in the wedding.. I mean, it's a monumental life changing event and it seemed to hold no importance, it's almost as though it was thrown in as an after thought. Adrian went through all the trouble to make it as perfect as it could be under the circumstances, but of the entire book the wedding details took up all of a couple pages. I just think it should have been a more prominent part of the story; this is where she should have paused and added the extra details - how the two felt while it was happening despite the trouble they were in, let them say I Do.. It could have been SO much better.
Other then that one complaint, I loved it! Silver Shadows was definitely one of the better books in this spin off so far! I'm excited for another book, especially after the hell of a cliff hanger we are left with!
Here are my reviews for the rest of the series:
