The Fiery Heart A Bloodlines Novel Richelle Mead Books

The Fiery Heart is definitely the turning point of the series. Not just because we get Adrian's added POV. A lot of big stuff happens! Happy stuff, swoony stuff, exciting stuff, and horrible stuff! The beginning is a little slow, but then it really picks up, and as always, the ending is explosive! It starts a couple months after The Indigo Spell. Sydney has mostly settled into a new routine, which now involves her sister who wants to spend a lot of time together. However, like I said, a lot happens and Sydney needs to be everywhere all at once to handle it.

Adian's POV was quite interesting. I don't think it was essential to have it in The Fiery Heart, but I enjoyed it. I liked that he's almost exactly the same as we see him from Sydney's perspective. It's just that we get his every rambling thought, and we learn why he is like that. I can't say that I was surprised by this discovery, but I was surprised about how Adrian actually went about dealing with it. I'm very proud of him.

The plot of The Fiery Heart is mostly revolved around Sydney and Adrian working on their respective projects, which both happen to involve some kind of charm making. Sydney is working on the ink that will stop Alchemist compulsion, while Adrian is still working with Spirit to create a way to keep Strigoi from turning anyone. There's amazing developments from both of them, and I continue to love learning more about the science and magic of vampires and witches.

Of course, there's romance in The Fiery Heart. There's no way there couldn't be based on the title and where we left off last time. Feelings are ramped way, way, way up this time! I was worried that there wouldn't be much since Sydney has to be more careful with her sister around, but the author made it work! Lots and lots of kissing and steaminess and plenty of cheesey moments as well. But then...well, that ending happens and I was in desperate need for the next book.

The Fiery Heart was really great. I've noticed that the author tends to make the 4th book of her series super emotionally intense and that is no different here. Bloodlines may have started off rocky, but it's certainly hit its stride now.

The Fiery Heart A Bloodlines Novel Richelle Mead Books Reviews

I've been excited to get my hands on this for several days - even to the point where I almost blew off work just to read it! While not quite as good as the last, the 'Fiery heart' was a great followup to the bloodlines books. We even get a cameo from Rose, Lissa and Christian!

The 'Fiery Heart' sees Sydney and Adrian's relationship enter the next level and things seem to be going right for a change. Sydney begins to make a breakthrough discovery that could prove invaluable for Alchemist defectors. Even her relationship with her sister Zoe is improving. Yet family ties once again becomes strained when Sydney's Mother files for a divorce from her Father, and she suddenly finds herself in the middle of a bitter custody battle over Zoe.

The fourth installment is a little unique because we get to see the inner workings of two beloved characters rather than one - that of Adrian and Sydney. It was an interesting risk Mead took and I admit I was a little dubious. So many authors try to take that path and fail. An enjoyable series that started out with a single first-person narrator could suddenly turn into a confusing and disconnected mess merely because it's author decides to tell the story from the viewpoints of several characters rather than one.

I didn't feel that was the case here. For the most part I thought the scenes transitioned well between the two characters and only on a few occasions did I feel disconnected from the Bloodlines universe when the POV shifted from Adrian to Sydney and vice versa. On the plus side, this made the romance even more of a guilty pleasure - because we get to see the romance through the eyes of Adrian! Fans who were disappointed with the progression of the romance in previous installments won't be in the 'Fiery Heart' as their relationship enters the next level (plenty of scenes to satisfy the fangirl in me! haha).

As a little side note I also appreciated Mead bringing up a subject that is to often simply glossed over or not exactly named for what it is. I am, of course, speaking of mental health issues. After all, how often does the brooding stalker vampire hero or the kick-ass female heroine with insecurity issues get diagnosed with something such as bipolar disorder or anxiety? It was nice change to see that subject addressed in the form of Adrian, and it brings a touch of realism to a magical world.

If there was one tiny issue I had about the plot - something also brought up by another reviewer about the third book - it was that the novel quickly becomes bogged down by the sheer number of romantic relationships going on. Jill likes Eddie but pretends to like Neal. Angeline like Trey but pretends to like Neal. Trey and Eddie pretend not to like anybody. I think that's how it went. I found it all a bit confusing towards the end. Heck, even Ms. Terwilliger got a guy!

Beyond that one, tiny thing, the 'Fiery Heart is a great addition to the series. I'm especially eager to read the next book after that cliffhanger!
What a waste!! Ms. Mead has decided to take the low road and replace most of her story line with heaving breathing and orgasmic sighs. This has unfortunately turned this particular book into a "light" version of the Anita Blake The Vampire Hunter series. Both authors apparently believe sex, in all of its attributes, sells better than having an actual plot, and they may be right! Sydney's witchy powers, which were considerable in her last book, has now been reduced to much of nothing. Sydney couldn't do much to one Strigoi during a planned attack. She couldn't handled three Moroi while she was at the Moroi Court and last but most damming, her and a dhampir together couldn't take out seven humans!! Are you kidding me!! It would have been better to have turned Sydney into a Strigoi than what Ms. Mead did to her. Sydney was an Alchemist with a heart and now she's nothing more than a 14 year old with hormonal issues. Some 400 pages of "Love phones" and "car sex" may make work for some but not me. At the end, Sydney was left in the dark and so was I.
