Having loved The Originals series, I figured it was about time I read the book series and I'm glad I did. While the books and the stories told within them have no real connection to the events of the show, they're great when it comes to highlighting the volatility of the family themselves and I'd certainly recommend them.

If you’re like me and The Originals TV series tore your heart out but also made you feel so deeply alive, this trilogy is the warm, dark place where you can crawl back into the Mikaelsons’ world, and breathe.

Reading these books felt like returning to New Orleans in another lifetime. Klaus, Elijah, Rebekah… still breathing, still plotting, still broken in all the ways that made them unforgettable. This series doesn’t try to mimic the show. It gives you more time with them. More internal thoughts, more mythological layers, more chances to witness how their cursed immortality shapes every bond, every betrayal, every impossible choice.

The plot has its twists, the world-building is familiar yet expanded, and yes, some dynamics might feel different from the series, but that’s also what makes it feel like an alternate timeline. A “what if” where the tragedies haven’t unfolded yet.

Did I enjoy the writing itself? It’s accessible and fast-paced. Not life-changing, but good enough to serve the purpose: give fans more of what we crave. The family, the power plays, the ancient pain, and those beautifully flawed relationships.

This trilogy is not just fan service. It’s a love letter to a world many of us weren’t ready to leave.

I just finished read the last book,it was really good, I couldn’t put it down.Julie Plec should
Wright another book about how they become vampires because they are characters in the show that we did not hear that much about,still the books were really goo,they were short and got to the point.

I will always prefer the TV series but, afterall, my favourite medium is books, so getting my fix of the Mikaelsons through books when I can't access my DVDs is great. Add to that that some of my favourite bits from the series are the historical flashbacks, I found these books very enjoyable.
