The first book in Richelle Mead's New York Times bestselling Bloodlines series--now in paperback

Populated with new faces as well as familiar ones, Bloodlines explores all the friendship, romance, battles, and betrayals that made the #1 New York Times bestselling Vampire Academy series so addictive--this time in a part-vampire, part-human setting where the stakes are even higher and everyone's out for blood.

4,5/5 !

Haaaaaa, quel plaisir de replonger dans l'univers de la saga Vampire Academy ! Depuis le temps que j'attendais ça... Je suis tellement heureux d'avoir pu retrouver le style de Richelle Mead dans une toute nouvelle série en rapport avec VA que je regrette d'avoir déjà terminé Bloodlines ! Ce livre, bien que différent de ceux de l'autre saga de l'auteure, est vraiment prenant... J'ai adoré !
Cette fois, nous ne suivons pas l'histoire derrière les yeux de Rose, mais de Sydney. Vous savez, Sydney l'Alchimiste, personnage qui apparaît de plus en plus fréquemment dans les tomes cinq et six de Vampire Academy. Avec elle, l'histoire commence directement ! Dès le départ, l'action nous étreint ! Sydney est réveillée en pleine nuit par son père qui souhaite lui parler... En compagnie d'autres Alchimistes. On va lui apprendre que Jill, <spoiler>la sœur de Lissa, nouvelle reine,</spoiler> est en danger de mort et qu'elle doit être protégée à tous prix.
Vont lui être associés pour l'aider dans cette mission Keith, un Alchimiste très étrange qui n'est pas inconnu à Sydney, Eddie, personnage présent dans VA qui prend beaucoup d'importance dans le roman et qui est un protagoniste que j'apprécie beaucoup et... Adrian ! Non, ne clignez pas des yeux, vous avez bien lu ! Adrian est de retour et ça se sent ! Quel bonheur de le retrouver ! A chaque fois qu'il apparaissait dans le livre, je ne pouvais pas m'empêcher de sourire. Bien qu'il soit encore profondément touché par <spoiler>la fin de sa relation avec Rose</spoiler>, il tente de surmonter cette mauvaise passe et de croquer la vie à pleine dent... Ce qui ne l'empêche pas de se rebeller et d'être lui-même !
Mais tandis qu'Adrian nous permet de nous accrocher encore plus à l'histoire, nous découvrons également une personnalité prometteuse et touchante : celle de Sydney. C'est vrai, en devenant le personnage principal du roman, elle nous livre des aspects d'elle-même - et du monde des Alchimistes - vraiment très intéressants.
Tout d'abord, j'ai adoré en découvrir plus sur l'univers de ces derniers... De très nombreuses révélations nous sont faites. On apprend de quelle façon Sydney a été élevée et en quoi consiste son travail. De plus, un détail très important nous est dévoilé : le pouvoir de son fameux tatouage, ce lys en or peint sur son visage. Je ne dirai bien sûr rien là-dessus, car je veux vous préserver le suspense au maximum ! Ensuite, passons à Sydney... Je dois bien l'avouer, j'ai souvent ris... Mais pas avec elle. A cause d'elle. Son éducation dans le monde des Alchimistes lui a beaucoup enseigné, c'est certain... Mais pas comment se comporter en société.
Certaines scènes entre Jill, Eddie, Adrian et elle sont juste magiques ! En plus, Sydney révèle un aspect d'elle qui m'a touché : elle pense plus souvent au bien des autres qu'au sien. Beaucoup d'actions qu'elle entreprend ne sont que le résultat d'un seul but : pouvoir rendre quelqu'un plus heureux. Malheureusement pour elle, certains de ses choix vont être mal interprétés et mal pris. Des tensions vont rapidement se créer et j'irai même jusqu'à dire que des clans voient le jour.
Mais ce n'est pas tout ! Loin de là ! Derrière cet aspect centré sur la sociabilisation des personnages, de nombreux mystères et problèmes vont voir le jour... Sydney, déjà très occupée entre la surveillance de Jill, l'obligation pour elle de la suivre au lycée et de participer en cours, de ne pas avoir l'air esseulé et de se comporter normalement, va devoir affronter d'autres choses. En effet, depuis quelques temps, des meurtres inexpliqués sont commis. Bizarrement, on dirait que ce ne sont ni des Strigois ni des Morois qui sont à l'origine de ses crimes, bien qu'on sache pertinemment que ce ne sont pas les œuvres d'humains ou de dhampirs. Pire encore, tous les élèves du lycée de Palm Spring ne jurent que par une chose : des tatouages, comme celui de Sydney, capables d'accentuer les capacités physiques et mentales des étudiants.
Face à cela, Sydney n'aura pas d'autres choix que de mener l'enquête, tout en effectuant son travail d'Alchimiste qui consiste à procéder en secret pour ne pas que Jill soit repérée. Très vite, elle va s'allier à Adrian... Haaaa, que je les ai aimé ces deux-là ! Ils forment un duo de choc ! L'histoire les a vraiment rapproché, pour notre plus grand bonheur ! J'ai vraiment été conquis par ce côté "enquête", il a apporté un gros plus à une intrigue déjà passionnante !
Je pense que vous l'aurez compris, Bloodlines est un premier opus génial, qui donne réellement envie d'en savoir plus sur la suite des aventures de Sydney. Vous devez savoir que ce que je vous dis là n'est pas grand chose comparé au roman. Il contient encore une multitude de surprises et de rebondissements que je n'ai pas vu arriver ! J'ai été bluffé par le dénouement de certaines énigmes, d'ailleurs ! Quoi de mieux pour me plaire ?
De plus, nous découvrons de nouvelles facettes des protagonistes que nous connaissions déjà, ce qui est vraiment super. Je suis sûr que ce livre vous plaira si vous avez aimé Vampire Academy. Personnellement, j'ai déjà accroché à cent pour cent. Redécouvrir le monde fascinant de VA m'a énormément fait de bien, car celui-ci m'avait manqué, beaucoup. N'hésitez pas à planter vos crocs dans Bloodlines, Wandering-World vous promet du sang au goût magnifique, captivant et... Envoûtant.

Comme j'ai bien aimé Vampire Academy (mais qu'est ce que je déteste ce titre !), j'avais donc envie de connaître la suite des aventures des personnages auxquels je m'étais attachée. Et bien cette lecture m'a un peu déçue.
Oui, il y a toujours du suspense, oui, on a toujours envie de continuer pour savoir la suite... Mais il y a nettement moins d'idées, l'inspiration commence à manquer. Richelle Mead a voulu poursuivre dans la lancée de son succès, avec les mêmes recettes, et cela se sent.
Bref, si vous connaissez VA et êtes accroc à cette saga, vous pouvez lire Bloodlines, sinon, vous risquez de ne pas tout comprendre... et puis ce n'est pas super passionnant.

Mise à jour 1er juillet 2012 : pour information "The Golden Lily", qui est la suite de ce premier tome, m'a nettement plus captivée.

5.0 étoiles sur 5 Full of suspense, danger, and drama; VA fans will be pleased. 23 août 2011

Sydney has been on thin ice ever since helping Rose with her problems. Working with a dhampire is tantamount to treason to the Alchemists so they don't trust her anymore. She can't afford to screw up her latest assignment for more reasons than she can count. She's to go into hiding with the Dragomir princess Jill, aka jailbait. Jill's life is at risk as she is the key to overthrowing her sister's throne. Eddie and Adrian accompany them, making for one heck of a rag tag team. Sydney will have to keep her wits about her as danger will not only come from assassins but from places they least expect. To make matters worse, her own career is in doubt due to her questionable interactions with them. However, staying detached from the rest of them please her supervisors, will prove to be the least of her worries in the end as much more is at stake then she ever realized.

I'll admit I was a little skeptical at how much I would really enjoy Bloodlines due to the perspective change. I love Rose, and just figured anyone else would pale in comparison. However, I was pleasantly surprised at how much I enjoyed Sydney's perspective. There is so much more to her than we saw on the surface in the Vampire Academy series. She is incredibly strong, yet unlike Rose she doesn't go charging into problems like a bull to hit them head on. Her methods are a little more underhanded and subtle, yet no less effective in the end. I find her aversion to Abe a little amusing as they are quite similar in the long run. The most intriguing thing about Sydney's character would have to be the constant war she is at with herself. She wants to stick to the strict rules and upbringing her Alchemy beliefs taught her, especially the unnaturalness of magic and that anything vampiric is evil. However, things keep coming along to challenge that perspective, and well, she isn't quite sure what to do about that. She has a very long way to go, but I think the more she throws off the Alchemist's single mindedness, the closer she will come to her true potential.

Ahh, Adrian. He was another character that caught me off guard. I'll be honest that I hadn't seem him as much more than a troubled man who served as a roadblock to Rose and Dmitri's relationship. I knew he cared for her and that she was his crutch, but I never really guessed at how deep his feelings truly went. In Bloodlines, we get a glimpse into just how much he was left reeling at the pain of losing her. He is an absolute train wreck, even more of a mess than he ever was, yet he is still trying to keep it together. It is that holding on that shows his potential, and I think now that his "crutch" has been removed, he may have a chance at healing for good. I do think Sydney will be playing a large role in that recovery, because unless I was imaging things, I have a feeling there was something really growing between the two of them. That will be one heck of a shake up as Moroi and Humans are forbidden from being together. Add in the fact that she is an Alchemist of all things, it takes the forbidden love idea to a whole new level. Only time will tell how all that plays out. It should definitely prove to be interesting.

Full of suspense, danger, drama, and even a little forbidden love thrown in, Bloodlines was everything I have come to expect from a Richelle Mead novel. This book will satisfy even the worst cravings that Vampire Academy fans have had since the final installment. Of course, that satisfaction is only for a short time, as it wouldn't be one of Richelle's books without an ending that leaves you reeling and desperate for more. While Bloodlines had one of the more mild cliffhanger endings compared to others, I still cannot wait until The Golden Lily is released to see what happens next. Several things were placed into play and I can only imagine where those twists will lead. A round of applause to Richelle Mead for pulling off yet another fantastic start to a great new series.

3.0 étoiles sur 5 Not what I hoped for, but I'll be coming back for more 23 août 2011
Par Dee18 - Publié sur Amazon.com

When the Moroi world is in the midst of revolution and political upheaval, measures must be taken to protect the second most crucial member of the royal family.

Since discovering that Queen Lissa Dragomir has a half-sister called Jill, royal loopholes have thrown the young girl in danger. For her own safety she is being herded to Palm Springs, to live amongst humans and hide in plain sight.

Joining her will be dhampir bodyguard, Eddie, and two alchemist workers - Keith and Sydney. Adrian Ivashkov must also accompany the young woman, for reasons neither of them will reveal.

Though these vampires are fleeing from the turmoil within their own race, they'll be even more surprised to find what lurks amongst them in the human world.

`Bloodlines' is the first book in Richelle Mead's `Vampire Academy' spin-off series.

I was ecstatic for this book. The sting was taken out of `Last Sacrifice's' finality purely because I knew there was a spin-off series in the works. I counted down the days, avoided spoilers and watched YouTube teasers. And in the end . . . I was a little underwhelmed.

Let me start out by saying the good. And because this is Richelle Mead, there is plenty of good.

For starters, this series has a very different feel to `Vampire Academy'. I don't just mean the protagonist change of alchemist Sydney Sage versus dhampir Rose Hathaway. That's obvious. I mean Mead has completely changed the atmosphere for this spin-off. In `Vampire Academy' Rose and Lissa were nothing short of celebrities within the school grounds; Lissa, for being the last of the Dragomirs, and Rose for her attitude and eventually, kill rate. They were superstars and utterly cool. Because both Rose and Lissa were a part of the `inner circle' it meant we read scenes with the queen, in the thick of political subterfuge and major social change.

In `Bloodlines', that's all gone. Jill is the illegitimate half-sister who needs to be kept in hiding. The people accompanying her in exile are likewise cast-offs and no-hopers. Eddie is a reprimanded dhampir, still being scolded for his actions in helping Rose. Adrian Ivashkov is a heartbroken drunk. And Sydney is under no illusions as to why she has been allowed on this mission - the alchemists have little love for vampires, and they wouldn't send their best to guard one of them.

The characters in `Bloodlines' are the bottom-of-the-barrel outcasts, and that makes them brilliant! By simply offering us these outskirt characters, Mead changes the entire focus and trajectory of the series. Suddenly we are able to bear witness to the Moroi societal changes from the bottom-up; we read what the little people really think of those above them, and how royal decree affects the little guys.

The other positive of this series won't come as much of a surprise - Adrian Ivashkov. Ohhhhhh. . . Adrian! Richelle Mead really wrote lightening in a bottle when she came up with this tortured alcoholic royal. He is a fan favourite, even more so when he became the romantic under-dog of `Last Sacrifice'. Many VA fans who are unsure of venturing to a new series terrain should be implored to make the trek purely for Adrian because . . . he's freakin Adrian Ivashkov!

I will say that in `Bloodlines', Mead barely touches on the extent of Adrian's heartbreak in the wake of Rose. He's still at the point of bottling-up and being outwardly bitter. But he's still the same smart-aleck wounded soul that fans fell in love with back in `Frostbite'. Part of Adrian's brilliance simply lies in his truthfulness, however cutting. His utter honesty in all things means he has some brilliantly poignant scenes and is a wonderful interpreter for many other characters. He's not always the snarky alcoholic, he does have occasional flashes of brilliance.

Now, for the not-so-good.

Sydney Sage is not a great narrator. She's not bad, and though it pains me to compare - she's certainly no Rose Hathaway. I know, I know! Richelle Mead wanted a very different protagonist to carry `Bloodlines' - and you can't get anyone more different to Rose than Sydney.

Where Rose was brash and cocky, head-strong and fiercely loyal, Sydney is meek. She has lived a sheltered and bookish life and feels closer to forty than twenty. Sydney does improve over the course of `Bloodlines' - so by the end of the book she is a changed woman on the brink of upheaval, nearly ready to reject all she has ever known in the face of what she has come to learn from living with the vampires. But `Bloodlines' is 421 pages long. . . and it takes a while for Sydney to get to that point of interest.

Though I did like Richelle Mead's head-nod to Australia that came from an in-joke with Sydney's name.

Another problem I had with `Bloodlines' was simply pacing. I was about 114 pages into the book when a character makes an off-hand mention that two days have passed. What!? Two days in 100+ pages? This is a very different time-line and pace from previous VA books, and it was hard for me to assimilate to the drag. Part of the reason for a sluggish pace is simply setting - Mead can no longer rely on fans' touch-stone to the actual Vladimir Academy, instead Mead has to build up this new Palm Springs accommodation and set the scene for the human school. This takes a lot of time, and is one reason I sort of wish the books had gone back to the good old Vladimir Academy . . .

One more small complaint I had was romance. Considering `Vampire Academy' had such an incredible illicit love story at its centre, as a fan you can't help but look for the romance in `Bloodlines'. I won't give anything away, but there are many male secondary characters in the book. Each time one of them trotted across the page I couldn't help but wonder "is he the one? Will Sydney fall for him?" When it became apparent who the romance will be with, I was delighted/half-hearted. On the one hand; YAY! On the other hand . . . it will take a while to get there. That's all I'm saying.

Honestly, `Bloodlines' had me under-whelmed for about 300 pages of this 421-page book. But, of course, in the last sprint Richelle Mead writes her typical saving grace - a thrilling, action-packed ending that will leave your heart thundering. And her signature cliff-hanger is a fifty-foot freefalling doozy! Be warned! `Bloodlines' wasn't exactly what I was hoping for with the VA spin-off, but that ending will definitely have me coming back for more.

3.0 étoiles sur 5 It's no Vampire Academy 27 août 2011
Par Lori Lawson - Publié sur Amazon.com
Format:Relié
I love the Vampire Academy series. It's one of my all time favorites. I was very sad to see it end, especially being Team Adrian, because things were very sad for him in the end. So how could I not be super excited for Bloodlines? No Dimitri getting in the way of things, more Adrian, more Jill, new characters, who wouldn't be excited? But in all honesty, I wasn't as thrilled with Bloodlines as I wanted to be.

I did like it! I just wanted it to be as awesome and captivating as Vampire Academy, and it wasn't. I think that's because Rose just set the bar way too high. Sydney is definitely no Rose. To me Sydney wasn't completely likable. She was brought up to loathe vampires. As a reader I found it hard to relate to that, because I love vampires....Throughout the book she does start to lighten up so I think it's only the start. I think I will eventually love Sydney as much as Rose, but I'm definitely not there yet.

Another thing that I wasn't too thrilled about was...there's no romance. That's understandable once you read the story, but it's also a little disappointed, you know, because I love Adrian....but this is another example of a promising start.

This might sound like a negative review, but it's not. Bloodlines still has all the things I have come to love from the Vampire Academy world. There's action and some new very interesting characters. There's some new plot lines that I am dying to find out more about. All in all, I think this is a series that I'm going to grow to love. It will only get better and better.
