To Survive in a ruined world, she must embrace the darkness…
Allison Sekemoto survives in the Fringe, the outermost circle of a walled-in city. By day, she and her crew scavenge for food. By night, any one of them could be eaten. Some days, all that drives Allie is her hatred of them—the vampires who keep humans as blood cattle. Until the night Allie herself dies…and becomes one of the monsters. Forced to flee her city, Allie must pass for human as she joins a ragged group of pilgrims seeking a legend—a place that might have a cure for the disease that killed off most of civilization and created the rabids, the bloodthirsty creatures who threaten human and vampire alike. And soon Allie will have to decide what—and who—is worth dying for…again.
Enter Julie Kagawa's dark and twisted world as an unforgettable journey begins.

Gr 8 Up-In Kagawa's postapocalyptic dystopia, vampires reign. Allison Sekemoto, 17, and her unregistered gang live in the shabby Fringe of New Covington while vampires rule the Inner City with their human pets, drinking blood donated by their Registered subjects. Unregistered humans roam without meal tickets or the Prince's protection, prone to arbitrary violence and starvation. In an act of desperation, Allie and her friends venture into the rabid-infested ruins surrounding the city in search of ancient, abandoned food hoards. As clouds roll in heavy with rain, the troupe is ambushed by rabids (Red Lung-infected vampires) and all are brutally murdered. Lying ravaged with death fast approaching, Allie accepts an unexpected offer of immortality from Kanin, joining the blood-sucking race that destroyed her family. His guidance and Allie's defiance clash with the vampire's ugly past, leaving her to wander a land swarming with rabids in search of a cure for Rabidism and her own Vampirism. The zealous heroine's characterization as an anarchist and independent thinker resonates along with classic YA themes of identity and belonging. Her ironic romance with a young man named Ezekiel adds a softer tone to a dynamic and perilous quest. Kagawa devotees can expect lots of bloody carnage in the upcoming movie, as "The Blood of Eden" series has already been optioned by Palomar Pictures.-Jamie-Lee Schombs, Loyola School, New York Cityα(c) Copyright 2011.

More like IMMORTAL ROCKS!
By Kristi-The Book Faery
THE FAERYS VIEW
Immortal Rules by Julie Kagawa is nothing short of how spectacular I thought it would be. The anticipation that had built up knowing that Julie was going to the fang side was well worth it. When I got the ARC in my greedy little hands, I was tearing into it before the envelop hit the garbage can. Yes, I did stop to admire the cover but what I really wanted to get to was inside that gorgeous cover!
The true gem of Immortal Rules likes in Julies titillating plot: just when you think you've seen every possible vampire scenario, Julie goes and changes the genre much like she did for the Fae world. Told as only Julie can do, the action is non-stop and the creepy dystopian world she paints for the reader is all too realistic-which I found deliciously frightening!
Imagine yourself living in the worse ghetto possible with no lawful system in place, no food, no shelter, nothing... it's a survivors dystopia but then add in cannibals, gangs that rape you and worse but that still isn't the worse! Add in Vamps that often roam the streets at dark plucking juicy morsels out of the best hiding spots they can find. This is the world that Allie lives in. Allie lives in a world that is ruled by the vampires, sure she could get more food if she'd let the vamps stamp her like the rest of the herd but she refuses to let them take any more from her then they already have. She has her `gang' that sort of look out for each other but in this world, people don't live long. Allie is hard as nails, kick-ass and take names later and extremely world wise. Allie does have a softer side and she takes pity on the weaker kid in their group, making sure he has enough to eat but at the same time she resents him for not pulling his weight.
On a trip out of the `safe area' looking for food, Allie becomes what she detests the most but she's give a choice: die or live as a vamp. She chooses to live as a vamp but she has a mentor who sets her out on her own when he's taught her all he can. It's then that Allie runs into a traveling human pack and falls in love with Zeke and Zeke in love with her.
The way Julie portrayed this beautiful love affair was perfect; it was earned, it was earnest and it was the love we all wish for. I hate to bring in The Iron Fey because Immortal Rules deserves its own review but I saw this with her characters in that series. No insta-love but a love that is based on getting to know that person. Of course there's an initial physical attraction but that's so for all romance, it's the deep romance that Julie does so beautifully.
World building-WOW! I was right there the whole time; Immortal Rules is one of those books where I found myself in another world-literally. I could imagine every scene as if I were there-sights, smells and audio. It's a rare gift when an author can drag me in that deep into a book that when the phone rings, I don't hear it until it's on its third ring or I don't use the bathroom until I have to pretzel dance all the way to the bathroom! I'd say maybe 15, maybe 20 novels out of a couple of thousand that I've read have done that to me, two (2) of them by Julie herself!
There is so much more I'd love to say but I refuse to ruin this book for anybody. All I can do is sing the praises of this magnificent book and its magnificent author and give the best advice to you all: READ IMMORTAL RULES!
THE FAERY SAYS THAT IMMORTAL RULES BY JULIE KAGAWA ROCKED MY WINGS!
Thank you to Netgalley and Harlequin-Teen for allowing me to view this galley in exchange for my honest opinion.

Not Bad, But...
By Misa Gracen
I'm really conflicted about this one. I've seen/heard all my blogger friends gush and rave over this title, and damn they made it sound really, really good. But upon reading it, I can't help but wonder if I got the same copy from the publisher or not. There were some parts of The Immortal Rules that I absolutely loved. There were some (okay, a lot) of stuff that was just okay, and a few things that... well, you'll see what I mean.
One thing I really liked about The Immortal Rules was how Julie Kagawa didn't hesitate to torture her character. I mean this in the sense that she isn't afraid to throw all the bad stuff at her character's direction, and she isn't afraid to keep the bad stuff flowing. She doesn't hold back on the details, either. A lot of the books, namely the ones in the YA romance genre, capture the main character as someone perfect in every way possible, though he/she may not know and/or think so. But Allie was flawed. She wasn't perfect - far from it - and she acknowledged that. And she wants to survive, which is what drives her forward, and makes her do all these things that'll make you wince and cringe, but you'll understand why she does it.
I also think that the way she was turned into a vampire was handled really well. There was a clear and understandable motive behind it: staying alive. I know a lot of people would think that, you know, a character should be brave and embrace death, especially since the alternative is becoming something you hate. But when you're actually dying - which, alone, is kind of a terrifying thought -, and someone hands you an alternative, a way out, I think that most people in Allie's situation would chose to become a vampire, especially since it means staying alive.
I also loved Allie herself. She's a flawed character, and she isn't afraid to admit it. She can handle herself and think for herself, and really has a backbone. Though stubborn, she has a strong will, and does what she thinks is right. Albeit, what she thinks is right isn't always right, but it's better than doing what other people tell her to, or mindlessly doing things that're supposed to be `good,' right? Brownie points for being Asian (you don't see many Asian YA heroines), and for wielding Kantanas. Which is pretty awesome.
But while I liked Allie, I didn't like some of the other characters were and/or were portrayed, mainly Zeke, Ruth, and Kanin. Zeke was so... plain and flat. He was sweet, sure, but he didn't seem very useful - just some side character Julie Kagawa threw in to add romance into the story.
I didn't like how Kanin was portrayed as someone whom was, in a way, someone Allie looked up to and admired. He was dark and ruthless, and a bit like Allie, though more reserved, and the way he acted and spoke just made him someone I felt like I should question. But Allie actually hung onto his words, and in a way she lived her vampire life by the stuff he told her, which had me a little confused. Kanin wasn't the type of person I'd look up to or follow.
But even more than that, I really disliked how Ruth was portrayed. I mean, okay, Allie can be seen as some kick-ass survivor, but the other female in this story had to be portrayed as a helpless weakling, slut-shamed, scorned, and clearly designed to be a character everyone hated. Why? What's wrong with adding in another strong female who's entirely capable of looking out for herself? But god forbid Allie have some competition for Zeke's feelings, right? Why is it so bad to throw in another amazing female character?
I also felt like the beginning was really slow, and that this book could've been broken up into two separate books: the first half, and the last half. There's just so many things Julie Kagawa fits into this book, and while it goes by at a nice, somewhat fast pace, there's also scenes that're way too heavy with description or too many events packed into one scene when it could've been spread out into a couple scenes. There were also scenes that dragged and slowed the story as a result of so many things being crammed into the other scenes, which threw the book off-balance.
Also, I really disliked the ending. It's not that I disliked how it actually ended, but more like I disliked why it ended the way she did. It's hard to describe why without giving anything away, but to summarize it all I just really felt that she let her feelings get a hold of her and acted out of pity towards herself rather than consideration towards others.
As always, Julie Kagawa's writing is almost magical, and her action scenes are breathtaking and startlingly real. They're also plentiful, which is always a good thing. And these are actually real vampires. The bloodsucking, Run-The-Hell-Away-While-You-Can type. Yay! However, The Immortal Rules had too much in it, and only a few enjoyable characters. While The Immortal Rules isn't a bad book, it isn't any of my favorites, either.

A refreshing (and bloody!) take on vampires!
By Literary Meanderings
The Immortal Rules is set in a future post-apocalyptic world where vampires run the show.
Allison Sekemoto - Allie for short - is an Unregistered orphan in the vampire city of New Covington. Unregistered humans are people who do not agree with or participate in the monthly bloodletting that Registered humans must, as they serve the vampires. Being Unregistered is risky for multiple reasons, but it's a matter of principle. Allie and her small group of Unregistered friends live in the outermost area of the city in a place known as the Fringe. They spend nearly all of their time scavenging for food just to survive.
During one such scavenging, Allie and her friends are attacked by Rabids; the nastiest form of vampire, you could pretty much say they're equated with zombies. After watching her friends get torn to pieces, Allie makes a run for it only to end up being taken down by a pack of Rabids herself. Allie knows she is about to die when, all of a sudden, the Rabids tearing at her body are pulled off of her. She's been saved, sort of... Her savior offers her a choice: Die, or become a vampire like him.
Allie chooses life in any form she can get it, and that means becoming the thing she hates most.

This is my very first read by Julie Kagawa. I've been meaning to get to the Iron Fey series, but it keeps getting the bump on my TBR list. I can say, now, that I'll probably be moving it up. Julie is a wonderful writer and I was so very impressed with this novel. With all the vampire books floating around out there, it gets old. Right before reading this book I told my husband it'd been awhile since I'd read a vampire book. I believe the last one I read was over 6 months ago (not counting The Hunt by Andrew Fukuda, which - off topic - was a great read, but very different from this one). Anyway, I said to him that I was betting it'd be just like all the rest of 'em. I mean, how many times can the story be told before there's nothing unique left? I was wrong, totally and utterly wrong. I am so glad I read this book when I originally hadn't planned to. Truthfully, I only read it because it popped up on NetGalley. It was sort of a whim, you know? Impulse read, or whatever... The point is that I almost missed out! I'm very glad I did not.
The plot is unique. I like that Julie combined dystopia and vampire fiction together. I like that she didn't turn her vampires into something friendly and non-threatening. They were monsters, for the most part, and even our protagonist murdered people and had to fight very hard to keep even the tiniest bit of her humanity. It's somewhat of a horror novel. There's gore and spook. I appreciate that it wasn't all about the romance. It's there, sure, but it isn't the main focus of the novel. This book is not of the Twilight variety (I like Twilight, but let's face it: it's all about the L-O-V-E).
Allie was a truly inspiring character. She was human (at first, anyway) and flawed. She hated vampires and during the short time we did see her as a human, I'd of never imagined someone such as her would choose the route that she did. When faced with ultimate death or a second chance of sorts, as a vampire, she took the way that I'd imagine 90% of people would - whether they hate vamps or not. Her journey through learning what it is to be a vampire was interesting and what I would call realistic. She had the proper amount of denial in the beginning; the proper amount of horror at what she'd become. Through the entire book, every single day was a struggle against the demon inside of her. She made mistakes, she fell, but she also got right back up and ultimately kept her humanity intact as much as she could. Allie was an easy protag to like and I enjoyed reading from her perspective.
Julie's world-building is remarkable. The entire setting is very atmospheric and her attention to details is impeccable. The world and it's characters are very well developed and full of life (and death, in some cases!). It's not just the world that's impressive, either. This author really knows how to back up her story; to fill in all the blanks you may have. How did the world come to be as it is? Why hasn't it gotten any better? Who? What? When? Where? It's all there. The whole shebang!
This book is really fantastic.. so fantastic, in fact, that I almost forgot to mention why I didn't give it a 5-star review. Well, here is my reason: too much. What do I mean by that? Too much going on. Just when I would get used to something, she'd change it up on me. I was getting used to Kanin being around and she takes him away (I was loving him!). I was used to Allie traveling on her own and she throws the human group into the mix. I was used to that group and then she took them away. It's like she didn't give Allie enough time to get used to anyone or to get close to them. I appreciate that the book was never boring, but I was a little disappointed, mostly that Kanin was taken out so early. I definitely can't wait for book 2 so I can have more!
Overall, The Immortal Rules is excellent. Kagawa has an original take on vampire fiction. This is a story about right and wrong, and that small grey area in between. It's about loyalty. It's about choices. It's about doing what needs to be done even when it's not easy. It's thought provoking and emotional. It's full of multidimensional characters with a whole lot of personality and color. It's set in a ruthless world packed with dangers - and Kagawa brings it all into perfect focus with her wonderful storytelling. If you think vampires are old, stale, totally yesterday - you need to read this. It's a huge refresher and a compelling read. I'd recommend it for any paranormal fan out there. I'll definitely be reading some more from Ms. Kagawa in the near future!
