Our view
The fourth Bloodlines novel, “The Fiery Heart”, gains a great deal from adding Adrian’s point of view to Sydney’s. Richelle Mead uses the two voices to follow a first love from both sides, against the backdrop of Sydney’s mission guarding Jillian, a Moroi princess. Some readers call it the strongest volume so far for its character growth, and the ending leaves others badly shaken.
