12 April, 2012 Reviews 26 comments

So Allie is an orphaned teenager in a dystopian fantasy where people are enslaved by vampire  masters.  Then she gets turned into a vampire and struggles with the morality of being a monster.

So at first I was like.

But then she was like.

a comparable representation on the scale of awesomeness – not a literal depiction.

And then I was like.

Right away from the beginning of the novel Allie was pretty ass kicking.

And then Kanin the vampire showed up and I was like.

Yeah, sure. Whatevs.

But then he was like.

And then I was like.

So then Allie goes trekking through the woods and I’m like.

And then she meets up Zeke and I was like.

Then Zeke is like ewwww Vampires suck and I was like.

Then stuff happened and I was like.

So then I was worried about the writing since I’d been on the fence about The Iron Fey.  But then Kagawa did a lot of:

And I was like.

And then Stephanie said the plot was slow, and I was like.

And then I got to the end and Allie was like.

So I was like.

 The end.

    I am so glad I have this coming up on my queue! Steph’s review made me a bit leery but now I’m back to being excited.

    You have a true talent for harnessing the sheer beauty of gifs. Quite a fabulous review, I must say.

    Awesomely fun review Kat. Made my morning. Laughed out loud in the cafe while scrolling….Tempted to buy the book right now!

    Hilarious and actually very helpful! I too was on the fence with the Iron Fey so reading this makes me want to give Kagawa another chance 😀

    It’s probably a good thing this is the first review I’m reading here. It’s awesome. :’D And I’m definitely a lot more interested in the book now … my money won’t be happy. Not that this matters, anyway.

    LOL this is an epic review for sure. I got this one off NetGalley and have been unsure if I should read it. There are so many rave reviews about it and normally I find myself let down in that situation. But after this I will definitely be giving it a go. Thanks for sharing!

    My experience is that GIFs make everything better. Haven’t laughed outloud in a while. Nice to know my laugh is as loud and obnoxious as ever.

    Well the review was hilarious. Sadly all the reviews I have read on this book are missing one crucial thing and that is, the sources. Many people might not be aware of it but this book is, even though fantastically written, a rip-off. The vampires in “The Blood of Eden” are very similar to the vampires in “True Blood”. The book is set in a very similar world as in “I am Legend”. Jeb is very similar to Will Smith in the movie. Especially the end of the book is very, very similar, as it is a place walled in and secured by humans and safe from the “rabids”.
    Do not think I did not enjoy the book but I just wanted to point this out to the people that the author does not deserve all of the credit.

    Lol! My thoughts exactly. After so many predictable YA, I was sure Allie would end up with Kanin when he appeared.

    And then Julie goes like ‘Haven’t you learned by now? I’m an evil genius!’

    Just came through to say that although I read this series a while ago, it’s def one of my all-time fav vamp series – the BEST IMO. I can’t explain it. Just one of those reads that took my body and soul. Few of those do it for me.
