Shadow Kiss (Vampire Academy #3)
Richelle Mead
It took me four and a half hours, with only few interruptions, to read four and a half hundred pages. So, not to tricky English.
This book series is one of my genuine guilty pleasures. I really like this book even though I’m fed up with vampires and such. Even though there are probably a thousand stories out there with the same formula, (Week vampires, protectors of the week vampires, evil vampires and humans) this is the only one I have read. Only approximately 5% of the books I’ve read are vampire books, so I found this story refreshing.
A friend of mine recommended this book, but I wasn’t sure I liked her taste. She’d been crazy about the House of Night series, which I, personally, think is… Trash. Sorry. I read them though, I don’t know why. I just have a principle: Don’t ever stop reading a series. So I continue.
But that’s not the point. I have an account on a website called Goodreads. I looked up the book and read a few reviews. This is a love or hate book.
Then I read it. And liked it. I will admit it, the main characters are not that complex, but I didn’t really mind. It was nice, really, just to read without thinking to much.
And compared to some other books I’ve read (Twilight, House of Night and so on) this is a really great book. I would recommend this book, naturally, to the people who loved Twilight. This book has a better story and better characters. And then to all you people who read books like Ulysses, Paradise Lost and Atlas Shrugged and would like a break with some more easy literature, just for fun.
In my opinion this book doesn’t teach you something new, it doesn’t take you to another place like more heavy literature would. But it is nice, once in a while, to forget about what is good for you and just give in to a guilty pleasure.
