About this listen

Is Rose’s fate to kill the person she loves most?

It’s springtime at St. Vladimir’s Academy, and Rose Hathaway is this close to graduation. Since Mason’s death, Rose hasn’t been feeling quite right. She has dark flashbacks in the middle of practice, can’t concentrate in class, and has terrifying dreams about Lissa. But Rose has an even bigger secret.... She’s in love with Dimitri. And this time, it’s way more than a crush.

Then Strigoi target the academy in the deadliest attack in Moroi history, and Dimitri is taken. Rose must protect Lissa at all costs, but keeping her best friend safe could mean losing Dimitri forever....

This narrator is growing on me. Still would have preferred if she gave more personality to each voice/character but it's perfectly alright to listen to!

Story great as always, narrating getting better

The story is great in this one but is definitely my least favourite of the series so far this time round and from what I remember, of the whole series.

Explanations of events are a little rushed but I enjoyed the pace somewhat. I enjoyed the new characters and the strengthening of some relationships.

The narrators voice is still annoying and obnoxious, especially when they’re doing Rose. Everyone else’s voice is fine but she makes Rose out to be really whiney - which I mean she is a bit but not to this extent. It really pulls you out of the novel a bit when Rose gets annoyed because of the way it’s read.

Great story

The pacing of this book is boringly slow and for some reason the plot revolves around a court trial rather than dealing with anything actually worth reading about.

Rose Hathaway is painfully inept in this addition to the vampire academy series, spending most of the novel making stupid decisions and feeling very sorry for herself. This is mostly due to Richelle Mead’s writing lacking any sort of meaningful conflict and character growth.

The most frustrating aspect regarding this novel however is the complete lack of reasonable reactions from other characters, where Mead forces characters who are supposed to be smart and cunning to come to stupid conclusions based on very little information given in the story and comes across as a cheap way of forcing conflict into the story.

Considering the previous books were good, this book just strikes me as filler.

I must also add that listening to the audiobook is absolutely painful sometimes as the reader as such an obnoxious accent and reads the characters like they were some exaggerated stereotypical sitcom character. Sorry not sorry.

Ruins the pace of the previous novels
