Last Sacrifice by Richelle Mead
5.0
Last Sacrifice is the last book in the well-known Vampire Academy Series written by Richelle Mead. Vampire Academy follows Rose who is part of a vampire world existing among our own society. Three different classes of vampires form this particular world. There are the regular bad vampires, who are called Strigoi; they kill for blood to feed them. However, there are other kind of vampire who don’t kill to survive, they are alive vampires, they are called Moroi. Half-vampire half-human Damphir protect Moroi from Strigoi. Rose is Damphir and her commitment is to protect her best friend Lissa, who shares a very special bond with her.
Rose is now in jail waiting for her trial. She was falsely accused of killing Queen Tatiana, and for that she will be sentenced to death. Her friends along his father are not going to allow this, so they plan a scape plan. The plan succeeded and she and Dimitri run away from court, where Lissa, Christian and Adrian stay trying to look for answers. Nonetheless, Rose cannot stay still while everyone is trying to solve the case, and she will end up going into and adventure that will lead her to reveal a really well kept secret.
Last Sacrifice was the perfect ending to an amazing series. First of all, it was really fast paced, which made me able to fly by a book that is over six hundred pages. Then, I founded really interesting how even after five books there is still development in the world. If we talk about the characters I observed quite a development in all characters. Rose has developed a lot since the first book, but during this last one you can actually see how she has grown up. Dimitri suffers a large development as the book progresses. Lissa also grows up. And Adrian and Sydney became more likeable, in my point of view.
In addition to that, the ending was both what I was expecting and surprising. It ended how I wanted it to end. But there was a revelation I wasn’t expecting at all.
The only negative thing I can think about this book is the frustrating feeling that reading about Rose and Dimitry being so close and not being together. Moreover, I felt quite bad for Adrian since I really think he had grown so much as a character and his feelings are totally dismissed.
As a conclusion, Last Sacrifice was everything I expected by a series ending. I obviously recommend this book if you have read the previous ones. But I want to recommend the Vampire Academy series as a whole because it is fantastic.
