cw : dépression; mort; sang; automutilation; harcèlement; mort d'animal
La première chose à savoir, c'est que j'ai fait les choses à l'envers et j'ai d'abord regardé la série haha. Et suite à ça, je voulais absolument lire les livres. On m'avait dit, que, étant donné que c'était publié en 2007, il y aurait des choses qui m'énerverait etc.
Et bien, je fus agréablement surprise de ma lecture ! Je m'attendais au pire, par sécurité, et le pire n'était pas vraiment là. Evidemment, oui, il y a des défauts, mais j'ai lu des choses pires alors que c'était écrit récemment.
On a le point de vue de Rose, qui est la personnage principale donc, et je dois dire que souvent, elle m'a fait lever les yeux au ciel et j'ai beaucoup froncé le nez ! Mais malgré tout, c'est une personnage qui peut évoluer, qui n'est pas fermée à ça. Ca se sent dans la lecture, et ça, j'ai beaucoup aimé ! Pour les autres personnages, mon préféré pour le moment c'est Christian !
L'univers créé est vraiment "sympathique", c'est des vampires, mais pas que ! Cette histoire autour des gardiens, des royaux etc. Vraiment chouette à découvrir !
Et par rapport au cw; je tiens à dire que le portrait autour de la dépression, l'automutilation, c'était quelque chose qui a vraiment été écrit très "proprement". Ce ne sont pas des sujets faciles à lire/écrire, mais pour cette fois, c'était très bien traité, et j'étais "contente" de ça !!
Bref, je m'attendais au pire, et c'était vraiment une super découverte, je lirai la suite avec grand plaisir !

cw : depression; death; blood; self-harm; bullying; animal death
The first thing to know is that I did it backwards and watched the serie first haha. And after that, I absolutely wanted to read the books. I was told that, since it was published in 2007, there would be things that would annoy me and so on.
Well, I was pleasantly surprised with what I read ! I expected the worst, for safety, and the worst was not really there. Obviously, yes, there are flaws, but I've read worse things while it was written recently.
We have the point of view of Rose, who is the main character therefore, and I must say that often, she made me roll my eyes and I wrinkled my nose a lot ! But despite everything, she is a character who can evolve, who is not closed to that. It feels in the reading, and that, I liked it a lot ! For the other characters, my favorite at the moment is Christian !
The created universe is really "nice", it's vampires, but not only ! This story around guardians, royals etc. Really nice to discover !
And for to the cw; I want to say that the portrait around depression, self-harm, it was something that was really written very "cleanly". These are not easy subjects to read/write, but for this time, it was very well treated, and I was "happy" with that !!
In short, I expected the worst, and it was really a great discovery, I will read the rest with great pleasure !

I admit this book didn't really ping my interest for a long time. Vampires are so over-done, especially in teen fiction, that the idea of diving into another series about them just wasn't that appealing. But then the entire series was on sale on Kindle so I figured what the heck, I'll give it a shot. And I come away from the first book feeling pleasantly surprised.
First let's talk about the characters. Rose is not a bland protagonist that any average reader can sneak themselves into. She is fully realized with her own personality and flaws. In fact, most of the characters given any type of development exhibit flaws that I found very refreshing. You honestly get tired of reading about how perfect so-and-so is. Which isn't to say that isn't in this book as well, but we'll get to that later.
I also appreciated many of the sensitive subjects the book touched upon. Without giving the plot away, I'll say that the ones Lissa struggled with handled particularly well and I applaud the author for that. The politics and atmosphere of high school were also portrayed very believably. One could almost believe they were in a typical school, vampire subject matter aside.
And then there was the romance. I can understand it being appealing on some level because of its forbidden aspect, but I can't say I was exactly rooting for it, either. It could be that I'm older than the intended audience, but I personally hope that things between them stay as they were at the end of this book. And him being described as a "god" did have me groan and roll my eyes quite a few times.
The negatives of this book aside, I found it very good. It took a while for the plot to pick up but once it did I was glued to my Kindle and anxious to find out what happened next. I'm already looking forward to diving into the next book in the series.

Quick and fun. Exactly what I was looking for on a rainy day. I'm interested to see what else happens in their senior year.
¿Saben por qué odio tanto las sagas? Por que las BUENAS sagas me dejan con ganas de más historia, y aclaro las buenas ya que me eh topado con primer libro de saga que ha sido horrible dejándome sin ganas de continuar ni con él, ni con la saga.
Bueno volviendo a Vampire Academy, está definitivamente dentro de mis libros de vampiros que más me ha gustado, tiene un trama distinto a la típica chica humana que se enamora del vampiro y sufren por no poder vivir su amor, en este caso es un cariño mucho mejor que el trama desenvuelto en el amor. La lealtad y el dar tú vida por una amiga, una mejor amiga.
Bueno la historia va de que existen dos clases de vampiros, los moroi (buenos) y los strigoi (malos), los últimos intentan matar a los moroi a como dé lugar pero para ello deben pasar antes por los dhampir (mestizo entre un moroi y un humano) quienes son los guardianes de los moroi.
Me gustó mucho la relación entre las protagonistas, Lissa y Rose, ya que su complemento era muy limpio y con el paso de la historia todo comenzó a encajar del porqué de muchas cosas ya que ambas comparten un vínculo, Rose puede entrar en la mente de Lissa y ver lo que ella ve y sentir lo que ella siente. Esta novela es de aquellas que dices “un capítulo más” pero cuando debes dejar de leer te das cuenta de que han pasado alrededor de tres capítulos. La amistad entre ambas chicas es digna de admiración, sé que más de alguna persona querrá tener una amistad tan pura como las de ellas.
Como obvio no podía faltar, están los chicos que te dejan embobada, en mi caso Dimitri, Christian y Mason (este último no siendo protagonista de la historia pero para mí, tiene sus buenos puntos). Dimitri, un guardián considerado un Dios entre los guardianes (y vaya que tiene bien puesto el apodo) es quién entrena a Rose ya él es el guardián de Lissa y Rose sería la más indicada a tomar el segundo puesto siendo así ambos cuando Lissa y Rose se gradúen ambos guardianes de ella. Por otro lado está Christian quien es el chico invisible del instituto, pocos (por no decir nadie) se acerca a él por la mala fama que posee su familia ya que sus padres se convirtieron en strigoi y piensan que él lo hará muy pronto, pero no es un ser sin sentimientos, todo lo contrario, demuestra ser un buen chico en especial con Lissa.
Recomendado al 100 y ya deseo seguir con los demás para ver si llegará a pasar algo entre una relación que quedó en el aire, hay que leerlo.
