philophile 's review for:

Last Sacrifice by Richelle Mead

5.0

---

The best book in the VA series. Well but that's exactly how I felt after reading every book but yeah. I can't believe so much has happened in this book. This book that is not too big compared to the previous in this series. And I truly wish the pages just went on. I can't believe I've finished this series. I can't believe VA is over :( it makes me sad. So sad tbh. I've completed all the 6 books in little over a month. And this whole while, I almost felt Rose was someone in my head. Always with me. Or maybe I was with her. And I can't bear the fact that there is nothing more for me to look forward to :( so many things happened in this book and so much has been unravelled(if not all) here. Towards the end, I truly did think we were not going to know Tatiana's murderer in this series at all. I thought I'd have to read bloodlines to know that. But of course, Richelle Mead did that all, like some kind of magic that she has been talking so much about in her book. Her words are magic. I feel like I'm under compulsion when I read these books :) and I'll miss them dearly. But one thing that's still a mystery to me. If Tasha is the murderer, one who had always wanted moroi to learn to fight, why would she want to use compulsion on dhampirs in order to serve? If she opposed the age decree, she wouldn't want to compel them into serving as guardians. Also why would Tatiana not punish her if she was a threat? So Daniella wanted the dragomirs out of the scene but why did Tasha want to compel guardians? What about the letter Lissa got from ambrose. I don't get if I missed something in my excitement to read or of more was to be unravelled in bloodlines. This being the last book, I thought there would be some kind of a closure but well looks like I'll have to start reading bloodlines soon. And Adrian! Poor poor Adrian :'( I have to admit, after blood promise when I saw the strigoi side of Dimitri and the lovely helpless side of Adrian, somewhere I had fallen in love with him more. Or i don't know if its just pity for him :( I like Dimitri and rose together. That had always been my ship. Bit somehow I can't see them the same way as before he turned strigoi. I really don't get that connection. And if the tables were reversed and if Dimitri was the one to walk away, I feel he'd be able to handle it strong, turning to serve as a guardian. But that's not the case with Adrian. He's weak :( I just want him to be happy, get over this heartbreak, betrayal and move on. I kind of don't like the fact that rose and Lisa's bond broke. I feel lost just like rose would :( very well, this was a wonderful journey with Rose. She'll always be my favourite female character <3 :')
