I like the exploration of depression and self-harm. It’s not perfect, but it’s better than I’ve seen in other work. Same for the adult/teen relationship. I was extremely worried by the fact that the author kept mentioning their age difference. Any new mention made it more impossible for them to realistically be together without irking the reader (as it should be, because teacher/student relationships are PROBLEMATIC). And the ending does feel very much Twilight-era, and I don’t doubt they’re gonna end together (🙄) but it at least tried to show that these relationships are unhealthy.
I’m debating whether or not to continue the series. Also, love Christian. Hands down my favourite character.

Otherwise, I adore her character and the high school atmosphere. The story, at times, seemed to drag. Vampire Academy focused more on the student body, a teacher whom cracked and was hauled away and a popularity competition. Then there's the Princess that Rose is training to protect for the rest of her life. I find it really depressing...Rose can "never" fall in love and have a family of her own. She does find a love interest, that can leave you teetering "oh yah! she could find love" yet "yikes...he's over 18 and she's only 16". Gosh this is like Aria and Ezra from Pretty Little Liars LMBO *sigh*
