Her choices, like helping her history teacher, Ms. But realizing that the Alchemists may not be the models of integrity they portray themselves as really pushes Sydney to a breaking point. If dabbling in magic is a big Alchemist no-no, then a potential Alchemist/vampire romance is a super big no-no.
The thought of what would happen if the Alchemists found out about her magic use weighs heavily on Sydney’s mind, as does her muddle of feelings towards one Adrian Ivashkov. They stand in complete opposition to Alchemist beliefs. She’s still very uncomfortable with using the magical powers she didn’t even know she possessed until recently. Richelle Mead has done such a great job with Sydney’s character progression, having her grow into someone who now questions authority and puts those she cares about before duty, all while retaining the qualities that make Sydney, well. I’ve liked Sydney as a protagonist since the first Bloodlines book, but rebel Sydney is definitely my favorite so far.
The new, rebellious Sydney even gets busted for breaking curfew! In The Indigo Spell, Sydney, fed up with the Alchemists’ subterfuge, ditches blind loyalty and is determined to uncover what secrets the organization she’s dedicated her life to is hiding. Review: The previous Bloodlines novel, The Golden Lily, saw straitlaced, logical Alchemist Sydney Sage allowing her heart to have more say in her decisions. Sydney realizes that she has reached a crossroads in her life, and she must decide whether to continue on the Alchemists’ path or to part ways with them once and for all. As much as Sydney wants to help find the culprit, it means using her own magic, yet another thing that goes against everything she believes in as an Alchemist. Someone is targeting young women who haven’t tapped into their magical abilities yet and draining both their youth and their powers. Meanwhile, Sydney also finds herself involved in another search of a different kind.
In tracking him down, Sydney hopes to discover what the Alchemists are really up to because she strongly suspects that they’re withholding important information from her. She sets out in search of the mysterious Marcus Finch, a former Alchemist who’s gone rogue. To Sum It Up: All her life, Sydney Sage has been taught to never question the Alchemists’ teachings, but recent events have her doing just that.
