 I didn't like this book as much as the others, which is a disappointment, but it was still pretty cool. 
 Rose has left St. Vladimir's Vampire Academy to hunt her true love, Dimitri, and kill him. She'll be traveling across Russia, meeting new allies, and getting into trouble. Then again, Rose is always getting into some kind of trouble. ;) 
 The enjoyed reading her experiences with Sydney. It was interesting to see Rose with her and I enjoyed that Sydney was mentioned and there with Rose, almost, throughout the entire book. 
 The whole book, except for the ending, was slow. Too slow. I did not like that there wasn't as much action as in the previous book. Rose was mostly complaining, and upset, and un-happy the entire book, which I can understand why she was, but I didn't enjoy how much she actually was and how often I had to read about it. Around half to three-fourths of the book was over, I just plain didn't like it. *shivers* It was just...Ugh! 
 I enjoyed the ending the absolute most! It was awesome. Lots of action, the regular Rose(The sarcastic, kick @$$ one) came back and kicked MAJOR booty. There were some other parts I enjoyed, but they weren't with Rose. They were with Lissa, back at the Vampire Academy. Whenever Rose went into Lissa's head, I enjoyed reading about what was happening back at the Academy. Jill and Christian were, wait, no, are awesome! 
 That's pretty much all I have to say about the book. Between everyting, it was 'Eh'. This book is my least favorite out of the series so far. 3 stars. 
 I recommend to adults and teenagers. People who enjoy romance and Richelle Mead's work should take a look, BUT ONLY IF YOU'RE OKAY WITH CURSING AND HAVE READ THE PREVIOUS VAMPIRE ACADEMY BOOKS. Ages 15-Adults will probably enjoy this. Any younger than 15..Well, wait a bit.
