rosie_b 's review for:
Vampire Academy: The Untold Stories
by Richelle Mead
3.5 Stars.
This book is a tough one to review. I was hooked from the first page. I got through it in a day and found myself picking this up in between tasks.
That aside for some reason I didn't feel like I quite connected with it. The plot seemed fairly weak and I didn't really understand why Dhampirs weren't the ones with all the control since the Moroi were so weak.
The romance was pretty weak also. In other books you can 'feel' the attraction and you get why the character is crazy about their love interest but I didn't really get it.
The main characters were pretty well developed and I liked Rose, her comebacks were quite amusing in places. I also liked the way that the story was told, part through what Rose was experiencing and what she could see through her bond with Lissa.
I did enjoy this book, but I wasn't crazy about it, and I will give book 2 a go to see if it improves.
