This was my grade A trash of the year 👌👌 I might be the outlier when I say this was always my favourite Vampire Academy book. Would I recommend it to anyone? No. But it was immensely fun.

Slow

Rose spent so much time running in circles and getting side tracked it was annoying. Don’t expect her to see Dimitri until about 325 pages in. From there though things are intense. The nice thing about the slow beginning was there was more you learn about the vampire world in general. The ending is wild so be prepared.

This book was SO GOOD! 

I think this might have been Meads best book in the series. It is harrowing and disturbing. You really get to feel Rose's pain in every page. 

I loved the introduction of Sydney, what a dynamic character!! 

Lissa's story was eh. 

SO a POC character is introduced and I do not love the fact that he is pretty much a mob leader. As the book progresses we learn new things about him that make him more endearing but the representation is really lacking.

Again, DIMITRI SHOULD BE IN JAIL (especially after this book).

I started a reread a few months ago but I was close to hitting a bad reading slump so I put it down. Luckily I annotated and wrote notes so I didn't have to start all over...just pick up where I left off. 😎

Anywho, this book has some areas that felt like filler...at the same time I totally get that they were necessary to the story. Definitely teared up a few times...and cannot wait to reread the final 2 books.
