There had been much furor and excitement about this book. I had a lot of reasons for mine. One being my loyalty in watching The Originals TV series, so it makes sense when I say that in a first, a book AFTER the TV show was a welcome change. To top it off, we had an inexplicable alacrity to know as much as we can about the original family and siblings specifically. 

Initially, the narrative was difficult to read and grasp, and I somehow couldn't relate all that I had seen till date to the book, it was only after I had deided to detach myself from the TV series that i could relish it to the best. "He moved with inhuman speed", goes a line in the prologue and i knew this is going to be a memorable book. Although the story and its characters, with all their eccentricities do everything, even disappoint you, one cannot really pin-point as to what was extraneous. Everything falls into place, and one only craves for more of it. I cannot thank Julie Plec enough for getting us the ultimate gift: first a spin-off of TVD, and then a book on it too!
