My review
Plot: Shadow
Kiss is the third book in the Vampire Academy series. This book centres around
what happens after Mason is killed. The dhampir’s are finding out their field
assignments at school and Rose is disappointed (to say the least) that she
doesn’t get Lisa as her Moroi assignment. But that is the least of her worries
when she keeps seeing Mason’s ghost around the school and that it impacts her
field assignment. Then there is her relationship with Dimitri and impending
attack of Strigori. There is not a moment to be missed in this book.
What I liked about
the book: This was my first graphic novel that I have ever read and I can
confidently say that it certainly won’t be my last. I loved that I was finally
able to see what Richelle Mead envisioned when she was writing the book. It
really is a good book for people who feel that the actual book is too long.
This gives them an insight into what is happening and is basically like a study
notes book.
What I didn’t like
about the book: I think the only thing that I could say that I didn’t like
is that it went so quickly when I was reading it and that it didn’t contain the
whole book. I know they couldn’t possibly write the whole book word for word in
graphic form but if they had maybe it would have been longer.
Favourite
character: I think that my favourite character in the book would have to be
Rose. I loved being able to see what Richelle thought that she looked like and
it was basically what I thought she would be like. She is such a strong, feisty
character and is a heroine that all books should focus their character around.
Favourite
part/quote: It’s hard to write a quote so I will kind of say my favourite
part.
‘Dimitri… He loves
me. He trusts me. He loves me. And I love him.’
5/5
