4/5 ☆☆☆☆
If you have been unlucky enough to have seen the movie before reading the book
-as I have- then I want you to forget everything you saw and felt about the movie.
Forget about the actors, the acting, the storyline...everything.
Just shake it all out of that pretty little head of yours.
If you loved it, hated it, somewhat liked it, I don't care.
forget it!
Forget it all and read Vampire Academy and then decide how you feel about it.
The movie is good, I liked it, but I might be a little bias because one of my lady crush stars as the bad ass Rose Hathaway.
This book is the perfect example of "The book is better than the movie" line you hear from every die hard bibliophile.
Rosemary Hathaway is a kick ass Dhampir who has dedicated her life to protecting the Moroi - Most importantly her best friend Vasilisa- against the strigoi.
Strigoi are undead vampires whose purpose in life is pretty much to drain blood and life
out of every moroi, dhampire and human they come across.
Vasilisa Dragomir is a Moroi Princess.
The Dragomir's are one of the twelve royal families and Lissa is the last of her bloodline.
Some time after the accident that killed her entire family, Lissa began noticing some weird things happening to and around her. The usually sweet and caring Lissa would experience violent mood swings, depression and sometimes got the feeling that someone was watching her.
After what happened to their teacher Ms. Karp and her warning about Lissa
Rose does not hesitate in deciding to take Lissa away from St.Vladimir Academy
to hide and live among humans to protect her.
Two years on the run and the girls are caught and dragged back to the academy.
St. Vladimir is supposed to be a safe environment for both moroi and dhampirs
but when Lissa starts getting threats in the form of dead animals in her dorm room
and attacks against her from a jealous, stuck up, royal wannabe
Rose goes on high alert and steps up her game as guardian
and if you read this book you'll know that Rose is the type to punch first and find out who she actually hit later.
*incoming Rosemary Hathaway gifs*
If you haven't read Vampire Academy yet you should
and if all of the action isn't enough to get you to read this then please for the love of Romitiri (Rose+Dimitri)
pick up the book!
Richelle Mead is killing my heart with the adorableness of these two
and just look what it's doing to Amy Pond!
