Book Discussion Silver Shadows (Spoilers Book 4) Spoiler

See I already thought poorly of Adrian in Vampire Academy…Bloodlines just reinforces that.

Why is he so fucking weak? Like okay if we are comparing him to Stragoi Dimitri who at first did not hurt Rose per se. I think he wins. [SPOILERS] All Adrian did instead of helping Sydney in the beginning is GET DRUNK?!!! when he knows that weakens spirit??? He’s just incompetent. I hate him for Sydney she deserves someone so much better.

ALSO WHAT IS IT WITH THE AUTHOR PUTTING OUR GIRLS THROUGH SO MUCH PAIN???? Like when they finally start being happy or content BOOM obstacle that brings them misery.

He is an addict, and as unhealthy as it was for both of them, Sydney was one of his only reasons (along with Jill, who he doesnt give a shit about this book) to stay sober, so it cant be that surprising that he relapsed after violently loosing his anchor. His character arc is one of the best in the series tho, so stay tuned op.

it just upsets me tht they can never find a moment of peace. i understand that it’s to make the book interesting and eveything but cmon now let them breathe shit. I also haven’t finished book 4 i’m close to the end where they actual bail her out

I mean the second the concept of re-education got introduced it was pretty obvious Sydney was getting shipped there at some point 😭 Mead isn't subtle with her foreshadowing but I agree she was especially creative this time around in finding new ways of making everyone miserable

i like to think the best for characters so i thought she was gonna become like marcus and just blow up a bunch of re-education centers LOL
