My review
I was so excited when I got this book in the mail that I immediately
started reading it and upon starting to read it I started wishing that I could
re-read all of the Vampire Academy books again, but alas I already have heaps
of books to read and this would cause me to fall further behind with my
reviews.
This book has it all. Part One is full of recaps of the
six vampire academy books. Each book is given its own chapter which is filled
with a short recap of the most important things that happen in the book, quotes
that are throughout the book and a short quiz at the end of the chapter about
each book. Personally I found the quiz’s too easy but maybe that’s just because
I have read the books and remember them really well. The second part of the
book is The World of Vampire Academy. This part is filled with: descriptions of
the main characters and some other characters (which feature a description of
who they are and a quote), a chapter on love and friendship (featuring Rose and
Dimitri, Rose and Adrian, Rose and Lissa and Lissa and Christian) which also
has quotes throughout and Q&A with Richelle Mead, a chapter on Allies and
Monsters which discusses things such as the Morio (with focus on the elemental
magic, St.Vladimir’s academy and the Moroi Royal Court), Dhamphirs (focusing on
Guardians and marks and tattoos), the Alchemists and Strigoi (How Stigoi are
created and can be killed). Then finally there is a massive quiz at the end
followed by the Glossary.
This is an amazing companion book for anyone that loves
the Vampire Academy series and for people who don’t really want to read the
whole series this would be a great cheat book to get all the lowdown so you
still know what is going on.
