Also, I want to be clear that I am only rating the original 4 Vampire Diaries novels. PLEASE NOTE: First and foremost, I read these books a looooonnnngggg time ago. Genre: Young Adult, Paranormal, Romance, Supernatural, Vampires, Magic, Witches # of Books: 4 (The Awakening, The Struggle, The Fury, Dark Reunion) The Wikipedia page for the series has some interesting statements about how this series and the spin-offs are published. There are a number of spin-off series some written by L.J. I recommend it to all of you that love young-adult, teen romance and vampire stories.Series Review: Is this series worth your time? Does it get better as the novels progress? Or does it get worse? Find out below: The Awakening and The Struggle were only an introduction and the real adventures are yet to begin! The ending was everything I was hoping for and now I can’t wait for the next book. This battle between the love and hate of the two brothers definitely seems interesting. Making us choose sides (team Damon here!). Elena’s love choices are opening up, letting us wonder which brother she might choose. The scenes, the plot, the twists – they were all very carefully put together. I really hope book three will let us meet these two characters better. We didn’t get to know them properly and it has already been two books. Even though best friends, it didn’t feel like they were too involved in the story. I wish we saw more chapters with Bonnie and Meredith. The author manager to portray the time very well, and I was easily transported into another world, another time… I think these scenes were definitely the favourite part of this book. On the other hand, I really loved the history of Stefan and Damon. She seemed to ignore everyone for a while and just be her selfish self – which resulted in getting people in trouble. I am not sure how I felt about Elena in this book. It made me more engrossed with the story and I was very excited for all the twists.Įlena was obviously the main character in this book, alongside Stefan and Damon. I felt like there was more action in this book, compared to the first one. The Struggle continues where The Awakening ends Elena is looking to talk to Damon, knowing that he has something to do with Stefan’s disappearance. The second book that features the life of popular girl Elena Gilbert and her endeavors with the mysterious vampire brothers Stefan and Damon Salvatore. The Struggle is the continuation of the Vampire Diaries Series by L.J.
