Originally posted on The Librarian Next Door: Life has changed irrevocably for dhampir Rose Hathaway. A brutal Strigoi attack on her school has left many dead – and forced the man she loved into a worse fate. Mourning the loss of the Dimitri she knew and determined to carry out one last task, Rose leaves the shattered safety of the only home she has known and heads blindly into Siberia. Once she arrives, surprises pop up at every turn – from her first encounters with the mysterious Alchemists and her unexpected introduction to Dimitri’s family to her interactions with the charming (and threatening) Abe Mazur and her emotional and dangerous “reunion” with Dimitri himself. But while Rose’s impulses have served her well in the past, this time she may be in over her head – because the task she’s determined to accomplish might also end up killing her. Richelle Mead’s Blood Promise is filled with surprises, twists and turns as the mysteries of Rose’s world deepen and new characters bring new complications. I’m constantly impressed with the depth and development Mead has brought to her dhampir/Moroi/Strigoi world, especially now that the story has expanded beyond the walls of St. Vladimir’s and grown to include the larger world. It was as fascinating for the reader as it was for Rose to see how her kind live in other places. You begin to see the issues of the Moroi world in a new light – the politics are increasingly complicated and nuanced, forcing Rose (and the reader) to figure out what she really believes. In spite of all of her obvious flaws, Rose is still such an easy character to love and I really liked how the events in Blood Promise gave her the chance to consider who she really is. She’s always been reckless and impulsive, but for the first time, you see her start to question her actions and their consequences. Her time in Siberia – and her own behavior there – forces her reconsider some long-held opinions. Though Rose is, by her own society’s rules, still untested as a Guardian, in many ways, Blood Promise is her trial by fire. One of the most surprising parts of the novel was Dimitri as a Strigoi. Like Rose, I’m not exactly sure what I expected, but I definitely think things managed to stay unpredictable. The brilliant and chilling part was the fact that Evil Dimitri wasn’t over-the-top or ridiculous – he retained enough of himself to remind readers – and Rose – of who he was while still being completely creepy and sinister. I give a lot of credit to Mead for taking a beloved character and completely changing him, turning him into (essentially) the villain of the story. She doesn’t just stick with the easy choices or clean, neat resolutions. She keeps pushing the story and the characters forward, even when it seems like that’s the last thing they want to do. I will admit that I’m not crazy about the Lissa and Avery sub-plot. I do understand the increased emphasis on Rose and Lissa’s bond, as well as the powers of Spirit, but the back-and-forths between Rose in Russia and her visions of the school were a bit jarring and slowed the story down. I’m not sure what purpose Avery and her story filled, nor do I think it added to the overall arc of the series. I also wish the thread about the Queen’s manipulations had been expanded a bit more – I feel like that plot line got dropped somewhere in the middle of the story (though, I suppose, with two more books still left, I’ll just have to have patience). I did, however, love the images of Lissa and Adrian figuring out how to defend themselves. It was a nice moment of levity in an otherwise emotional book. I feel like I’m running out of positive superlatives to describe Richelle Mead and her Vampire Academy series. Blood Promise heightens the action, the emotions and the consequences of an increasingly complex world. It’s an exciting and thrilling story that builds up the mystery and leaves you wanting more. Highly recommend.
