Wow. I can't even remember the last time I finished a book in one day! Just like the series which I read way too long ago, this graphic novel was absolutely amazing. Best thing I've read in ages.
The story and images just consumed me and constantly reminded me of things that I had forgotten from when I read the book, four years ago. Still one of the best series ever.
Even when I thought that I was done with this genre, this came out of the blue and surprised me and honestly makes me want to go back and finish the bloodlines series that I abandoned at least three years ago.
I really hope that they made a graphic novel adaption of the fourth book in the series, if so- I'm buying it straight away!
It was a bit difficult to"understand" what Mason was trying to communicate since it's hard to show a nod or a head shake in pictures, but it was done amazingly and by the end of it I definitely understood his and Roses conversations.
So excited for the next one and honestly don't think I'll read a better book than this in 2016- or ever!

I'm also glad the added the sex scene into this graphic novel, it was so beautifully and tastefully done and really gives you an advancement into Rose & Dimitri's relationship.It was a bit difficult to"understand" what Mason was trying to communicate since it's hard to show a nod or a head shake in pictures, but it was done amazingly and by the end of it I definitely understood his and Roses conversations.

Better...but I still think there's too much in the novel to fit in the graphic novel.
The story may not be appreciated as much by people who haven't read the VA series?

Mi piace come hanno adattato il libro, anche se come stile di disegno preferisco il manga xD.

These novels are my guilty pleasure. Hopefully, the fourth one will be accessible at my local library some time soon AND the fifth and sixth will be made.

I am not a huge fan of graphic novels, except when they are adapted from Richelle Mead’s Vampire Academy. I have been a huge fan of this series from day one and I am always chomping at the bit for more. If I have to get more through the graphic novels of the stories I have already read, than I will. It’s really cool to see a long book turned into half of that and in pictures and you still get the whole story. I loved it and I can’t wait for the rest to come out. Anything that is by Richelle Mead, I am a huge fan of.
You get Rose and how she feels about Dimitri and her seeing the ghost of Mason and the Strigoi attack where they lose Dimitri. You get all the action and pictures to go along with it. For me it couldn’t get any better and you can read it all in one day! If you read the original book Shadow Kissed from the Vampire Academy series then you know what happens, and it’s the same in the graphic novel. If you haven’t I suggest you read the Vampire Academy series first then get into the graphic novels and watch the movie too. It’s not as good as the books- no movie is- buts it’s pretty good!
