An amazing book
No. No. No. No. No. No.
This book was amazing but that is all I can think about right now. No. I don't want what happened in he end to happen. It was the worst thing in the world. Those who haven't read the book will have no clue, those who had....they may be close to knowing what happens. It's a great book, I'll repeat that but THREE of my favourite characters Dimitri, Rose and Lissa EACH lost the most important thing to them in the whole world, they all got screwed over big time. Can it be a mistake, richelle, can the next book be that it was a mistake, please. Just let it be ANYTHING but what happened, I seriously feel like crying. ANYTHING.

Sorry, sorry, I should be reviewing now, basically if you want a flash of the plot WITH SPOILERS *The students are in there final weeks of training and they have to defend the moroi from fake attacks from the teachers, rose kinda messes up on her first try account of seeing Mason- the dead guy as a ghost in front of her- her relationship with Dimitri at first stays the same, we see more of Adrian, Christian and Eddie. Then a bunch of stuff happens concerning Victor Dashkov- I'll let you read up on that yourself but I'll tell you I all but nearly had an heartattack from something that nearly happened at this point and then Rose's-problem-with-seeing-ghosts gets really bad she learns where it comes from (but I really saw that coming). A lot more stuff happens and Dimitri and Rose become closer and at a really heart pounding moment when she almost looses control of herself and succumbs to this dark angry aura surrounding her, he gets her out of it in the most moving and emotive scene that I'd ever read which leads to them sleeping together.* Okay enough spoilers a lot more stuff happens involving a battle with strigoi and at the end of the book Dimitri, Rose and Lissa all lose the thing they most value the most and it is all different things, of course others lost a lot but (Ros, Lis, Dim)they lost the one thing they treasured above all but no more spoilers.

The book was as good as the first two and in some aspects better, the plot was thick and you really felt as if you were there. WELL DONE RICHELLE. Again however I do plead that you change the ending or at least put a twist in the next book that meant what we were told wasn't true after all. There must be someway to change things, I mean OF COURSE it was a great ending, I applaud you but it was a bit too painfall for me to accept. And I'm a very accepting person, honest. I just cant accept that. The book was again GREAT. I still feel like crying. Huh.

NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO
omg omg omg i can't believe it. I hate this book...ok thats a lie but how could they do this. I'm not gonna say what happens but omg i can not believe it. Be prepared to cry you eyes out. I did i cried for ages after and during reading this book. I don't just mean eyes watering either i mean proper crying.
I can't wait to read the next book but i am also dreading it. If they don't give me the ending every single Vampire academy wants i will not be buying the fifth book and neither will many others. sales will drop.
This was a fantastic read and i do reccomend reading it. AAAArgh how could th writer to this. Be prepared to cry if you do read it and i mean really cry.

Why???!!!
Well firstly, everyone including myself seems to agree that this book, and the whole VA series, is absolutely brilliant, well written, completely involving and impossible to put down - I am totally hooked. I would recommend this series to teens and adults alike, it is even better than the twilight series.

But WHY!!?? Why the horrible, depressing ending!!?? I, a grown and sensible woman, was wiping tears off my chin for a good hour and finishing this book - I felt heart broken - positively unhinged!!!! The ending is brilliant, don't get me wrong....and if I'd written the books, I too would probably end it this way to make its impact so strong - but its just not fair!!!

PLEEEASEE let there be a way for Rose to make it all right!!!
