Julie Kagawa- The immortal rules review.


"Sometime in your life, Allie Sekemoto, you will kill a human being."
I have only read a couple of vampire books and "The Immortal Rules" is by far the best , I really like reading about vampires because of the danger and adventure involved in the book and to be honest you cant go wrong with a book that involves vampires. I was influenced to buy this because it said that Hunger Games fan would enjoy it and they were right.

The story is based around the character Allie/Allison Sekemoto a simple Unregistered 17 year old girl fighting for survival against starvation,disease and most of all the vampires. The book is based in the future where people know the existence of vampires and they rule the humans,Allie was an Unregistered human meaning she could keep her blood and her distance from the vampires but had to struggle to keep her and her gang alive. The story really kicks in when Allie and her gang of Stick,Rat and Lucas venture out beyond the wall where the rapids rome freely (the hungry,crazed animals that have a mind of there own). This is where Allison's Sekemoto's adventure begins from her saving her friend Sticks live and almost dying from the rabids until a vampire named Kanin gave her a choice to become a vampire, he then taught her the ways of a vampire.The way Julie Kagawa expressed in such detail about Allie's training it made the book that much more interesting. Further into the book her mentor gets kidnapped by an evil vampire named Sarren. Allison is then left alone again to venture into the world without anybody to help.

She isn't alone for long because she runs into a group of people who are wondering the world to find a vampire and rabid free island called Eden. I personally think this is when the real story begins but also changes because of how it seemed like an action and adventure book which it is but I also think it turns into a love story when Allison meets Zeke Crosse the son of Jeb the man who is leading them to Eden. I begin to admire Allie's strength a lot more in different ways because of how she knows not to help this group because it could end in disaster but she cares too much for them too leave, and the way she cares for Zeke is really interesting to read about because of her mentor Kanin telling her vampires are monsters.
The book continues with kidnapping, murders and betrayal you also learn the true meaning of why Jeb is being hunted and the truth about Eden. But I loved reading about how Allie and Zeke's relationship grows throughout the book even when he finds out what she is.

I finished this book in a couple days it wasn't text heavy but was still very detailed and interesting to read and anyone with similar interests in books to me would really love to read it. The next blog post is on the 2nd book of the trilogy The eternity cure.
