*Note: I used the Brazilian cover I think, because it was so cool*
The Fury is book 3 of The Vampire Diaries series, which I have been reading a enjoying, to my surprise. Since I read the edition in which both 3 and 4 are combined into one book, I'm going to try and keep my stories straight. Caution: If you haven't read the Vampire Diaries 1 and 2, there will be spoilers...
Elena was the "golden girl," who had everything and could do anything. But in The Struggle, book 2, she became more than an average teenage girl: she became a vampire, like her true love Stefan. However, Elena is all too mortal, and the town is thrown into chaos and danger when a new power comes to threaten them.
This book was very similar to the previous, with the same characters and feel to it, but there were a lot of changes that I liked. For one, Elena rocks. She's not just a petty high school girl in love; she's a friggin vampire! And she's bloodthirsty and crazy at first, even mistaking Damon for the one she loved. It's great, and I like her a lot better as a vamp.
The new danger is a good mystery-- I didn't feel like I had to yell "duh!" at the book when the characters solved the clues. I was trying to figure it out myself. The book was written in the same style, mostly from Elena's pov, but it had some darker undertones.
When they finally figured it all out, I was impressed. The characters were strong and it was a nice twist. The ending...ouch! There was a lot more emotion in this one, I found myself more strongly attached to the story than I thought.
Honestly, that's all there is to say. Much like the first two, it was a quick read, and probably even better than its predecessors. So far, it's been my favorite.
4.6/5
