Summary

Family is power。 The Original vampire family swore it to each other a thousand years ago。 They pledged to remain together always and forever。 But even when you're immortal， promises are hard to keep。

Arriving in New Orleans in 1722， Original vampire siblings Klaus， Elijah and Rebekah Mikaelson believe they've escaped their dangerous past。 But the city is lawless， a haven for witches and werewolves unwilling to share territory。 The siblings are at their mercy…especially after Klaus meets the beautiful and mysterious Vivianne。 Her impending marriage is key to ending the war between the supernatural factions—and Klaus's attraction to her could destroy the uneasy alliance。 As Elijah works toward securing a piece of the city for his family， and Rebekah fights her unexpected feelings for a French captain， will Klaus's volatile desires bring their world crashing down—and tear them apart for good？

I watched the series， and I fell in love with Klaus， I always wanted to know more about Klaus in personal and this was the right way to do it。The writing was just so damn simple and yet so descriptive！！ I loved that fact。 I can’t wait to read more on it！ Thank You Julie for writing this book ♥️♥️

THE ORIGINALS: Os personagens são os mesmos da série， Klaus， Elijah e Rebekah， porém， não é a história do série。 Eles residem em Nova Orleans， mas não com a mesma pompa e glamour da série， tudo ainda está no começo e eles ainda eram vampiros sem lar fixo e ameaçados pelas bruxas e lobisomens;KLAUS: Sim， ele continua o mesmo sanguinário e paranoico que vemos na série， mas no livro， ele torna-se mais brando devido a paixão por uma bruxa chamada Vivianne， que é metade lobo e metade bruxa。 Tão apaix THE ORIGINALS: Os personagens são os mesmos da série， Klaus， Elijah e Rebekah， porém， não é a história do série。 Eles residem em Nova Orleans， mas não com a mesma pompa e glamour da série， tudo ainda está no começo e eles ainda eram vampiros sem lar fixo e ameaçados pelas bruxas e lobisomens;KLAUS: Sim， ele continua o mesmo sanguinário e paranoico que vemos na série， mas no livro， ele torna-se mais brando devido a paixão por uma bruxa chamada Vivianne， que é metade lobo e metade bruxa。 Tão apaixonado que arrisca a linha tênue do pacto que sela a paz entre bruxas e lobisomens;REBEKAH: Ela não parece tanto com a da série， mas uma coisa ela tem de parecido com a série The Originals， ela ainda procura pelo seu verdadeiro amor e pela sua liberdade。 Quando finalmente encontra， a vida mostra que ser uma Original pode ser uma maldição;ELIJAH: Eu amo o personagem na série e no livro não podia ser diferente！ Diplomático， calmo e conciliador， ele tenta manter a paz entre os seres sobrenaturais e conseguir um lar para sua família na cidade， mas quando precisa mostra-se sanguinário e impiedoso;BRUXAS x LOBISOMENS x VAMPIROS: Ao contrário da série onde vampiros dominam as bruxas e lobisomens vivem fora da cidade， no livro os lobisomens e as bruxas são clãs poderosos que tem por inimigo natural os vampiros， estes， tentam se aliar e ganhar a confiança das bruxas， já que a dos lobisomens não é possível devido ao seu ódio natural。 Os 3 clãs coexistem， mas "pisando em ovos" para que não exista guerra， mesmo depois de Klaus fazer uma "limpa" nos lobisomens quando os Originais chegaram a Nova Orleans。Então é isso。。。 Eu amo a série The Originals， gosto mais dela do que de The Vampire Diares， mas não consigo gostar muito do Klaus， ele é muito paranoico pro meu gosto。 Mas o livro é muito envolvente， a história é bem feita e mostra os 10 primeiros anos dos Originais em Nova Orleans。 E acho que a partir disso a série se desenrola e explica a dominância dos vampiros mais pra frente。 。。。more

This book was meh， I didn't dislike it but I didn't enjoy it either。 It was fine as books go but I think the thing that annoyed me the most was that there was no reason for me not love it but yet I still didn't。 I felt that reading it was a bit of a chore and I was very aware of how many pages I had read。 I liked that each chapter followed either Rebekah， Elijah or Klaus and that it went in turns， but other than that I don't have much else to say about the book。 I do own the other two books in t This book was meh， I didn't dislike it but I didn't enjoy it either。 It was fine as books go but I think the thing that annoyed me the most was that there was no reason for me not love it but yet I still didn't。 I felt that reading it was a bit of a chore and I was very aware of how many pages I had read。 I liked that each chapter followed either Rebekah， Elijah or Klaus and that it went in turns， but other than that I don't have much else to say about the book。 I do own the other two books in the series but I'm just not interested in reading them， this one was enough for me。 。。。more

Elijah's Point of view is the most Intriguing Part。 Because he's the only one who took every effort to secure his family。 So It was interesting to read what how far he went for that cause。 I was feeling so overwhelmed while reading。 Because I have been waiting for a long time to read about originals。 It was like dream came true moment。 My most favorite character is Obviously Klaus。 I loved the way he desired Vivianne。 His love made my heart long for klaus。。 I wish klaus loved me instead of her。。 Elijah's Point of view is the most Intriguing Part。 Because he's the only one who took every effort to secure his family。 So It was interesting to read what how far he went for that cause。 I was feeling so overwhelmed while reading。 Because I have been waiting for a long time to read about originals。 It was like dream came true moment。 My most favorite character is Obviously Klaus。 I loved the way he desired Vivianne。 His love made my heart long for klaus。。 I wish klaus loved me instead of her。。 I Despised Vivianne。 Even though she received more love than she deserves， she always made choices that would leave klaus devastated。 So I depised her。 The negative role is none other than klaus。 I felt that he's the one who always brings trouble to his siblings because of his selfish desire。 He's also warned Rebekah that he would stake her。 I feared him so many times。 。。。more

I've recently finished the The Vampire Diaries （series）， and this was the perfect read to soothe my withdrawal symptoms。 It's a bit slow to start but in the thick of it， very action packed， and I could easily envision the characters and their personalities thanks to watching them in the show。 I've recently finished the The Vampire Diaries （series）， and this was the perfect read to soothe my withdrawal symptoms。 It's a bit slow to start but in the thick of it， very action packed， and I could easily envision the characters and their personalities thanks to watching them in the show。 。。。more

3。5 Rating。 I enjoyed the book because I love Klaus in anything！ I did not like how each chapter switched from character to character。 Towards the end the chapters started to merge the characters together which made it much more enjoyable。 With that being said， I am excited to start book 2 "The Loss"。 3。5 Rating。 I enjoyed the book because I love Klaus in anything！ I did not like how each chapter switched from character to character。 Towards the end the chapters started to merge the characters together which made it much more enjoyable。 With that being said， I am excited to start book 2 "The Loss"。 。。。more

This review has been hidden because it contains spoilers。 To view it， click here。 It was okay but more of a tragic romance thing。 I didn’t like how the same story happened twice， thru Rebecca and Klaus。 The whole time Klaus isn’t described as himself and it’s supposed to be he is in love and the best of him is shown but Klaus trusted her uncharacteristically fast。 There’s no real growth in any of the characters， Klaus learns to trust less？ Rebecca learns of what loss is like。。。again and Elijah learned nothing？ All and all the story was alright to read just not a favorite。

It is 1722 and Klaus， Elijah， and Rebekah have fled from Mikael to New Orleans。 It was a slow start but turned around。 I did really enjoy the book and purchased it after watching the series。 I am looking forward to reading the sequel because I am very curious to see what happens next。 A great read and a must-read for the Originals lovers out there。

This is the story of the Originals I never knew I needed。 I prefer The Originals over The Vampire Diaries and of course we know a lot about their past， but this is their origin in New Orleans。 This is a story where ‘always and forever’ gets tested from all sides。 I loved it。The story is told from three perspectives: Klaus， Elijah and Rebekah。 And this is maintained structural throughout the book， with connected storylines yet adventures on their own。 It helps you connect with the various charact This is the story of the Originals I never knew I needed。 I prefer The Originals over The Vampire Diaries and of course we know a lot about their past， but this is their origin in New Orleans。 This is a story where ‘always and forever’ gets tested from all sides。 I loved it。The story is told from three perspectives: Klaus， Elijah and Rebekah。 And this is maintained structural throughout the book， with connected storylines yet adventures on their own。 It helps you connect with the various characters， but also get impatient to continue the story of the other characters。The characters are very like how we know them in the tv series （thank you Julie Plec）。 I knew the books of The Vampire Diaries are different from the tv series， so I prepared myself just in case。 The only thing different with these books compared to the tv series is that you have to imagine their accents in your head （oh， yeah， it did naturally happen sometime halfway） and thankfully the use of old and difficult vocabulary is left out。Even though the plot is a bit predictable if you’re familiar with the series – if you aren’t， I am not sure if you will enjoy it as much – it makes it very recognizable for fans and you are still rooting for happy endings。 Even though you know where the characters are many years later and how they end up。I am very curious to see where this book series leads us to in the other two parts。 Thankfully I bought them all at the same time so hopefully I will find a moment soon with my huge TBR pile 。。。more

Rating: 3。5 stars。I love Klaus and the original family so naturally， I had to pick up this trilogy， and I have to say I enjoyed it more than I expected to。 The writing doesn't stray from their character arc's， backstory， or personality's much。 Klaus' storyline was in my opinion a little unexpected of him but that is just my opinion。 If you love the original family and The Originals tv show you would enjoy this book。 Rating: 3。5 stars。I love Klaus and the original family so naturally， I had to pick up this trilogy， and I have to say I enjoyed it more than I expected to。 The writing doesn't stray from their character arc's， backstory， or personality's much。 Klaus' storyline was in my opinion a little unexpected of him but that is just my opinion。 If you love the original family and The Originals tv show you would enjoy this book。 。。。more

Rilettura in italiano mentre mi leggo il terzo in inglese。 Mi serve anche per capire alcune parti che magari in inglese mi sono sfuggite o ho capito male。 In inglese non era o è difficile da leggere ma ci sono sempre alcuni punti in cui magari non troviamo le parole e cerchiamo comunque di arrivarci。 Penso ci siamo passati tutti。 Ecco questi sono i punti che magari devo chiarire。 Poi ho fatto una cazzata e ho preso la UK version e non l'originale ma pazienza vista la semplicità。Mi rinfrescherà a Rilettura in italiano mentre mi leggo il terzo in inglese。 Mi serve anche per capire alcune parti che magari in inglese mi sono sfuggite o ho capito male。 In inglese non era o è difficile da leggere ma ci sono sempre alcuni punti in cui magari non troviamo le parole e cerchiamo comunque di arrivarci。 Penso ci siamo passati tutti。 Ecco questi sono i punti che magari devo chiarire。 Poi ho fatto una cazzata e ho preso la UK version e non l'originale ma pazienza vista la semplicità。Mi rinfrescherà anche alcuni punti considerando che la prima volta l'ho letto nel 2017。L'ho ricomprato come ebook perchè essendo un NC è stato possibile prenderlo scontato。 Potevo anche scaricarlo pensandoci avendoli in inglese ma ho voluto supportare il mercato italiano anche se scontati nonostante sapete bene quanto sia pedante sulle traduzioni。Per la traduzione non ho niente da dire a parte sweet nothing che quando ho visto la traduzione ho capito che è stata fatta leterale dato che non potevo ricordarmi le parole dal 2017。 Pazienza。 Un errore。 Si， insomma non è molto e non ho niente da dire。Essendo poi tradotto bene， per quel che mi ricordo， è stata una piacevole rilettura。 。。。more
