Last Sacrifice

 
Slight Spoilers*
So  in Australia and many other countries Last Sacrifice by Richelle Mead was released.I was so excited and a little reluctant (who wanted to see this series end?) to read it. I got up at 8:30 in the morning and rushed my amused dad out the door and to big W to buy the book. It only cost me about 10 dollars! I was so happy and a little shocked but who was I too complain? And then I locked myself in my room and read. Non stop, for who knows how long and finally I finished the book. So, I'm not going to write a review because really all I want to write is my thoughts about it and I'm not sure I can be smart or eloquent about it :)

So, I loved it! Of course it was a little bittersweet because it ended but what a hell of a way to go. Richelle Mead is a writing evil genius. She created such a wonderfully captivating and moving series that when I read the last page and realized that indeed Rose and Dimitri's story was over (excluding the spin off, but it's not about them anyway) I actually felt a little empty inside, as if one of my best friends had moved away.

The book had me guessing up until the very last chapters, just when I thought I knew what was happening and thought I had it all figured out she threw another curve ball. The storyline was so interesting and had me burning with curiosity, hurriedly flipping pages to see how it all ended. I felt a little disappointed that their were so many loose ends but of course those will be addressed in the spin off series. Also she I wouldn't have minded some more Rose/ Dimitri couple time, I thought that their could have been more interaction between them because their love triangle/ story was a big part of the series, I felt as if there should have been something more, I can't really explain in words but all in all I was so happy at how their story ended. Seriously some of the scenes between them literally brought me to tears and took my breath away. I love, love them as a couple and I love Dimitri. Rose is such a great heroine, and I love how strong she is and how realistic, in some sense her struggles about love, friendship and duty to her job are.

It really is a testament to how well Richelle writes characters, that when Rose was in particularly passionate or sad scenes my feelings mirrored Rose's. Especially that scene with Adrian at the end, I was crying and my heart ached, perhaps I took it too seriously ^_^

The fact that it left room for a spin off series meant that it didn't make as much an impact as it could have, and I must admit I was left wanting a bit more but otherwise I had no major complaints.

Of course I'm sad to see Rose's/ Dimitri's story ended but I'm so excited about the spin off series with the first one being called Bloodlines released August 2011. Personally, I hope it's about Adrian, however with a name like Bloodlines I assume it will be about Jill. Oh well, a girl can dream.

So basically, I LOVED IT! This series is one of my favorites and as far as endings go this was a pretty good one

Anyway, what were your thoughts? Did you like it? and who do you think the first spin off will be about?

Please comment and bye for now
