With these first three Vampire Academy books, it's certainly a roller coaster that only goes up. This book is definitely why I love(d?) this series, because in a lot of ways, it's the pinnacle of this series, the first series: it's fun, it's got Adrian Fucking Ivashkov, Lissa and Christian are cutie little sweetie pies, and we get to experience a few blissful moments wherein we believe Dimitri might actually be dead...but all roller coasters must come down.

And so, I move on to Blood Promise, which is tied with Last Sacrifice for being most worst annoying dumb thing in a vampire series I used to love more than air which has a spinoff vampire-witch-alchemist series that I love more than air. Here we go. It can only get worse before it gets better so LET'S DO THIS.
