This was actually really good - things went a bit too smoothly to be realistic, but a very entertaining read. Starting the next one now!

This is a very early slave narrative (1772) that is of interest mainly for historical reasons. James Albert had been African royalty who ended up being sold into slavery to a Methodist minister from New York. Upon his death the minister freed Gronniosaw, who then served as a privateer to clear his debts, then sailed to England, eventually ending up in extreme poverty a married to an English weaver. This narrative is more a tract about Christian faith (there is very little detail of his life as a slave), but sometimes the anger over his situation shows through the religious testimony: his awareness of the irony of being a wealthy African prince reduced to begging for food because he cannot find labor; his amazement that in a "Christian" nation he is constantly taken advantage of and cheated by the populace, etc. An interesting narrative.

3.5 stars. This book was fun even if it was sort of predictable. I liked the ending, I wonder if she'll write a sequel? I liked the characters and the plot, and I LOVE the cover, I don't know why! I looked at it at Barnes and Noble for like months before I finally bought it :)

Good, but ends on a cliff hanger!!
Great book. I really liked the section on Shay becoming Brandy. It was well developed. The section on the reverse, Brandy becoming Shay wasn't as well developed, but still interesting.
I'm still reading it, but so far I think it's good. It's good how very complicated things are explained in an easier way, and I also like how I seem very intelligent when I bring this to read on the bus.
great page-turning read that allows you to really ponder ethical dilemmas
There were things I liked and things I hated about this series. I wasn't like other readers and I wasn't neither team Dimitri or team Adrian, because I knew who Rose was going to end up from the first half of the first book. I guess I just know - the second guy never wins the girl. THINGS I LIKED: 1. I liked Dimitri's character. I've read many reviews where people trash him and I just don't know why. He was very mature for his age and he tried really hard to keep things between him and Rose strictly professional, even when he knew he loved her. What's there not to love about him? I, personally, like guys with accents. He wasn't some kind of perfect love interest, because he had his flaws and he knew it. He was a good guardian, he was loyal and he was a very gentle guy. I liked that he didn't start treating Rose like crap just to keep her away from himself and the trouble they could both get in if they let their feelings dictate their actions. There are some people that (WARNING! SPOILER!) think that when Rose and Dimitri had sex in the third book it was a mistake, but I don't. It was like a farewell, even though they didn't know, because Dimitri turned Strigoi after that. In the last book he cracked and let his feelings show and I think it was the right time. He protected Rose even after he told her he didn't love her anymore. He was selfless when it came to others and brave when he had to put his own life in serious danger for the ones he loves. I don't think he's perfect, I just think he's real. Congratulations for Richelle Mead for making such a great lead guy. 2. I liked Adrian Ivashkov. At first I didn't like the fact that he drank and smoked so much, but when the reason for this became clear (numbing his spirit element), I was good with his hobbies. I did hate the fact that Rose used him to try and get over Dimitri, even though she tried to really love him and view him as more than a friend. But she just didn't think of what the outcome could be. She said it herself she couldn't love anyone else, so why try to do the opposite with someone who really loves you and would be hurt if things don't go as planned? However, if Mason Ashford didn't die in the second book, it was probably going to be him ending up with the broken heart. Despite his attitude sometimes, Adrian is great and I really do like him. 3. Lissa and Christian. If I have to be brutally honest, I'll say that I enjoyed much more reading about Lissa and Christian than Rose and her boyfriends. Lissa was sweet and she wasn't a fighter, although whenever she was in danger, she tried to think of others first. Christian was also great and he was my favorite character in the books. He really loved Lissa and was capable of becoming a hero for her. He had every right to break up with Lissa in the fourth book when her behavior became unbearable, but that was just Avery's influence (and spirit). I hated Christian's aunt, Tasha, from the moment she entered the series and it was not because she was hitting on Dimitri and was obviously interested in him. There was just something about her that made me itchy and uncomfortable. THINGS I DIDN'T LIKE: 1. Rose. I'm sorry, she's the main heroine, but she just plainly pissed me off and if I didn't want to know what happened in the books, I would have never finished those series since it was from her point of view. It made sense, because this is her story. I didn't like her because most of the time she was so sure of herself and her skills. Take for example in the first book. She was so confident that she could take on Strigoi, but when Natalie Dashkov, being a Strigoi for mere hours, tossed her around like a rag doll, I just laughed. Other thing I didn't like about her was that she was so sure that she was pretty to the point where she became egocentric and self-absorbed. Just because she had boobs and pretty hair and because Dimitri (who loved her) said she was beautiful DID NOT MAKE HER BEAUTIFUL FOR EVERYONE. How come almost every guy in the books had feelings for her? Dimitri Belikov. Mason Ashford. Adrian Ivashkov. Even that Strigoi Nathan, but his feelings were rather dirty - sex and murder. Total turn off, if you ask me, but I did share his idea of murdering Rose through almost every book. She acted like a child, even when she claimed she could be an adult. No real girl is as confident as her in real life, despite her beauty. I did admire the fact that she could stand up for herself and other. And just because I say that I don't like her personality, doesn't mean that there aren't a couple of traits I admire. But if I have to sum it up and put her either in the "LIKE" or "DISLIKE" category, she would most surely join the second one. 2. Adrian's parents. Snobs. That's all I can say, especially about his dumb father. Their neglect of their son made me want to hang myself in the bathroom. If my parents ever treated me this way, like I was wasting their air, I'd probably shoot them. Because that's what I think Adrian's parents deserved. His mother's dumb plan of saving her son when she thought he could be charged for the death of the queen was dumb. Didn't she think she would be found out? She was selfish. She was more than willing to put others in big trouble, just to get her son out. Mind you, you dumb bitch, your son can take care of his own ass. WARNING! THERE COULD BE SPOILERS INCLUDED IN THE NEXT FEW SENTENCES. DON'T SAY YOU WEREN'T WARNED. I don't think there are any other things I don't like. The plotline was great and interesting. I liked how they found out that it was Tasha who killed the queen, because she was the least suspect. I'd give 3 stars to those series.
