Vampire Academy

Blog Post #1 Vampire Academy by Richelle Mead

   THE PREMISE
        There are two types of vampires the good ,and the evil. Two types of good and one type of bad. Moroi are one of the good types they have magic. Dhampairs are in the same category as the Moroi, but Dhampairs protect the Moroi. On the other hand Strigoi are evil.The worst part about them is that they are made not born.
      Rose Hathaway and Lissa Dragmir are the two main ,main characters. Rose is a Dhampir she hasn't graduated yet but when she does she hopes to be her ,bonded, bestfriend's guardian .Lissa is a Moroi and she wants Rose to be her guardian when they graduate. She also specialized in spirt which is so rare that they think you haven't specialized if you've got spirit. Spirit makes some who weld it go crazy. Specializing is something every Moroi does...Kinda like puberty. Moroi can specialize in fire, air, water, earth, or spirit. Though every Moroi specializes they each have little strength in each of the other catagories. Like this every Moroi can use a little bit of compulsion (kinda like manipulation of the mind) but spirit users can use compulsion in very big quantities.
      " In our own yard, I could see the silhouettes of trees and bushes.
       And a man watching me.
        I jerked back in surprise. A figure stood by a tree in the yard, about thirty feet away, where he could be easily seen through the window. He was close enough that I probably could have thrown something and hit him. He was certainly close enough that he could have seen what me and Lissa had just done". (Mead 5)
           This passage is right after Lissa drinks some of Rose's blood for some energy. Rose finds a man looking at her through the shadows in the dim lighting. It turns out that the figure was only a guardian coming to bring them back to the academy in the shadows of Montana.
                             
                                                                  Favorite Characters
       One of my favorite characters in this book is Dimitri Belikov. He is a smoking hot, guardian that can kick some serious strigoi butt, and look graceful and valiant while doing so. Dimitri is my favorite character because he is so serious and sweet at the same time. Also Dimitri is a perfect match for Rose. Belikov is the best guardian at vampire academy. Another one of my favorite characters is Rose because she is so persistent and strong. Sometimes Rose reminds me of myself. She killed a couple strigoi before she even graduated! Finally Lissa is also a favorite of mine. she is so sweet and nice. Lissa reminds me big time of one of my best friends, Eva because they are both so sweet and smart also they both couldn't hurt a fly.

                                                          SPOILER ALERT!!!!!
      The book ends with Dimitri and Rose both having feelings for each other but never expressing themselves even though they know what is in there own hearts. Lissa starts dating Christan Ozera. So it is a happily ever after...for now what will happen in the next book Frostbite.
