Honestly this book didn't have much of a plot we could say it's a character driven book also I think it heavily depends on the reader having read the vampire academy series like I enjoyed it without reading it but I think that if I had read it before I would've enjoyed more regarding knowing the characters more and all. The characters were really good tho and the story is interesting but if you're getting in wanting a fast pacing and lots of action don't cause it only picked up at action in the last 100 pages. I'll be reading the vampire academy series first and then coming back to continue bloodlines but I'm Honestly really excited to be in that world from what I've seen here looks like I'm in for a great ride.
