Hi Everyone!
Suddenly, with a little warning, I wrote a whole review after a few struggles the past week. Turns out, I just need to find a different book to review while I still gather my emotions towards another.
Today I am reviewing...
The Fiery Heart by Richelle Mead
Publication Date: November 19th, 2013
Publisher: Razorbill
Source: Bought!
4/5 WITHIN THE LIGHT STARS!
The Fiery Heart by
Richelle Mead lives true to its name. During this central book is the times
Adrian and Sydney walk within a lighted cavern both certain of their role as
candleholder. Neither letting the bounds over their romance to take hold and
pull them away.
I both love and wanted more in this book. There are great
moments. There are bland. There are breathtaking lines and bothersome telling
points. There are predictable twists and a sweet, juicy romance.
The two things I know for sure are one) I feel the Sydrian
gasp and two) I experiencing either bitter or love emotions for all other major
characters.
Adrian point of view was the best. I like the youthful
appearance he gives to Sydney during their time alone together. So many times
point of views bear similarities, yet Adrian brought his humor, insecurity, and
pensive valor. While reading The Golden
Lily I hoped others would come to admire Adrian, as much as Sydney and I,
when realizing his truth courage, and in this book it may come to fruition for
a moment or two.
After outgoing Rose, I was happy to gain my fellow inquisitive
introvert Sydney. Sydney was always hard working, wise and gentle. Now, she
finally reaches complete open-mindedness. There is no quality I desire more
from people. A hard gained attribute that Sydney implements to her advantage
while trying to pacify the one who needs to learn it too. And causes the best
line of the book. Too bad the line is too spoilery.
Eddie, Eddie, Eddie!!!!!!! Since Shadow Kiss, he has reigned among the characters that I miss when
absent. While reading Blood Promise and during the first part of this book, I
kept wondering, “Where’s Eddie?” I am mad that he was gone from a large part of this story. His resolve to help Rose after Mason’s death
and his continuing selfless journey created this selfless warrior. He’s a bright
torch that faces self-hate towards his inability to solve everything, raging
fire in his wake.
I liked seeing the way Eddie influences Neil, a new dhampir,
to become selfless. (At least that’s inferred by my reading) I was a bit
worried that Neil would continue the whole book as an overzealous flatstone. And
then Neil drove home his surface of arrogance is actually because he wants to
acquire honor. Still, he could
never replace Eddie.
My bitter juices goes to Sydney's dad and a certain sister. My surprise giddiness goes to Trey.
The story journeys to a unsurprising conclusion and a simple
realization to how to prevent Stirgoitism. Yet the former does not really
matter because I am enthralled by the glimpse of the new setting. I cannot wait
for the next book to explore more. The second gave me nerveless disappointment.
Yet, it leads to a great Eddie moment and certain cameos. Though I wish for
more from Christian’s.
My hopes and predictions for Silver Shadows:
The center will hold.
Eddie will redeem his failure.
Adrian will locate a lost.
Sydney will stay strong.
Thanks for reading!
