Vampire Academy REVIEW Author: Richelle Mead
When I started reading this vampire book it seemed a little bit strange. It did not start where I expected it to, and therefore I really did not start getting into the book until after the first chapter. It wasn’t until Rose and Lissa were by themselves that I thought the book really picked up to a nice pace. As I continued reading the book I really started to get into it, and it really got pretty good.
Rose had a lot of witty remarks that were sarcastic and made me giggle out loud and the plot of the book was pretty fun and interesting. Although a bit of the parts to this vampire novel were a little bewildering, but only because there was a lot going on throughout the story. Some important aspects of the story were Rose and Lissa running away at the beginning of the story, Rose and Lissa’s strange bond, The Strigoi vampires and the moroi vampires and their relation to the humans. The Dhampires, and Royal vampires. Then you had Victor Dashkov, Mia, and of course Dimitri. With so much to think about throughout the book, it was very easy to keep reading in hopes of getting more information.
The plot was really nicely put together, and flowed really nicely as well, even with so much information being processed. I really ignored the Dimitri and Rose love thing though, it was a little too much for me. Most people do like Dimitri a lot though, so, I guess she knew what she was doing. I did put the ending together pretty fast, but the novel did have some surprises along the way. Natalie turning Stigoi was one of these surprises. This made me enjoy Natalie’s character quite a bit more. At the beginning I really didn’t care for her hardly at all.
In addition, I really loved the use of magic in this book, the spirit magic Lissa possessed was a great addition, and I also do believe that the bond Rose and Lissa shared helped blend the two characters extremely nicely.
In closure, I would like to say that I would very much recommend this book to anyone interested in Vampire Series. It is a great read, and with more to the series I think it will be a good one to continue reading.
