I wasn't impressed with this series to begin with, and The Van Alen Legacy
hasn't changed my mind. They're still good enough to keep reading,
though. It's sort of like sitting at a doctor's office and seeing a
whole bunch of celeb gossip magazines. You can't help but pick it up and
devour it, even though there's not much substance to the stories. And
once you finish one, you have to read the next.
So, while I'm not
praising Cruz for her storytelling abilities, I will commend her for
hooking me in. I was confused sometimes while reading, and part of that
was because I read Revelations
last April and I had to familiarize myself with what was going on. For
example, I totally didn't remember that Bliss was possessed by her
father, I thought Bliss and Schuyler already knew they were sisters, and
I don't remember anything that happened at Rio de Janiero.
Also, it seems like this series will never end. I just wish Cruz would wrap it up already.
I won't be reading Keys to the Repository,
because honestly I'm not that interested in it. It doesn't have much to
do with the series' story. It's just a bunch of the Blue Bloods'
history, which I don't care about unless it has to with the storyline.
But Misguided Angel, Blue Bloods #5 comes out in 27 days, so...yay!
