Vampire Academy by Richelle Mead
3.0
Reread it randomly, sure I'd have another perspective as an adult than the teenage me. I didn't realize the extent to which female dhampirs are sexualized in this book. Slut-shaming of multiple female characters is rampant too. Rose's musings on Lissa's mental health are also severely judgmental for a best friend. And don't even get me started on the problematic age difference, although I find it kind of hot (sorry) in this case. Problematic faves, and all that. Doesn't mean I stand for it in real life.
It's what you'd expect from a 2008 novel, but it's still a shame. Not changing the 3-star rating though. Vampires are still in vogue for me I fear lmao.
