We only learn that she makes the safety of her apprentices/students a high priority. There’s overall less vampire involvement in this book than previous with an increase in focus on witches and the inner workings of the Alchemists. Mrs. Sydney does admit, however, that despite Alchemist laws and beliefs she loves the Moroi. I’m disappointed there wasn’t more involvement with Jill and Eddie in this installment. They of course grow as people, but so does their romance. No love triangles.
Sydney and Adrian have the most development of all of the characters. By that point, I want to finish the book. It may be getting somewhere at 70 percent. Mead’s storytelling is great for reaching the main chunk of climax at 60 or 70 percent into the novel. The Indigo Spell was in my library’s Overdrive collection, so I finally decided to borrow it. I let this series go by the wayside because I thought it was either going to get progressively worse or turn into a bad version of the Vampire Academy series (I don’t have a good history with spin-off series). Not only does Sydney have to deal with her assignment from the Alchemists and the romantic conflict spawned by it, she struggles with the realization that the Alchemists may still be connected to the Warriors and that she has to use the “evil” magic to protect herself. The third installment in Richelle Mead’s Bloodlines series has Alchemist Sydney fighting for her life and against her love for Adrian, the Moroi (good vampire) boy she denies loving. And as she searches for an evil magic user targeting powerful young witches, she realizes that her only hope is to embrace her magical blood - or else she might be next. There is an old and mysterious magic rooted deeply within her. But as he pushes her to rebel against the people who raised her, Sydney finds that breaking free is harder than she thought. Marcus wants to teach Sydney the secrets he claims the Alchemists are hiding from her. Then she meets alluring, rebellious Marcus Finch–a former Alchemist who escaped against all odds, and is now on the run. In the aftermath of a forbidden moment that rocked Sydney to her core, she finds herself struggling to draw the line between her Alchemist teachings and what her heart is urging her to do. They protect vampire secrets–and human lives. Sydney Sage is an Alchemist, one of a group of humans who dabble in magic and serve to bridge the worlds of humans and vampires.
