Read 3 times. Last read May 15, 2020 to May 19, 2020.

Edit (19/5/2020):
Lately, I had a bit of bad luck when it came to books, I was more often disappointed than not. So, that's a perfect time for a re-read of I book that I've loved, right?

And I still do! There is not much for me to say other than that I had an absolute blast reading this. I was grinning, laughing, I was enjoying what I was reading.

“Oh, God. I’m trapped in the fucking Chronicles of Narnia."
"I’m sure that would be an amusing reference, if I understood it.�


This is one of the few books that has lines on the spine from how often I held it open. Especially that one which goes to pages 102 and 103 is really worrying me!

Anyway, I totally loved all the little "foreshadowing" for the rest of the series which I did not see before. Love it!

“You used your power to toss one rock at me?" he exclaimed, an almost comic note of incredulity in his voice.
"On the contrary," I heard Dorian say pleasantly. "I didn't use magic for that. I just threw it.�


But what I did not like was Kiyo and during this whole book, I was dying a bit inside because of the idea that he will be in the rest of the series.


Original:
One of my favourite books. And definitely my favourite series by Richelle Mead. However, I wish there was no Kiyo - he's annoying and taking too much space. Dorian should be there more, like all the time!

“You are the most boring teacher ever."
He grinned and gave me a quick kiss on the cheek, just as a knock sounded at the door. "It all depends on what you me to teach you.”

Aoife - Bookish_Babbling Love when a good reread restores our faith in storytelling 👍
Hope your reading luck turns around...if not at least you know there are more books where this came from 🤞

Lien Maybe I should give this series a try. My little sister binge-read the Vampire Academy series recently and I was wondering why I haven't read anything by Richelle Mead again in a long time 🤔

Tanu Rereads are the best! I’m doing a Tamora Pierce (Tortall, half of CoM and CO) reread and I still love most of her work as much as ever

Kelli Wilson You do you girl and get your happy place. Reread of a five star is a perfect way to do that! Great idea Mischa🌟💖

Yeah, this was a bit of a saver, I was feeling a bit down... And thank you so much.

Loved Vampire Academy! And I know that the Dark Swan is not the most popular series but I totally love it. 😍 It just speaks to me. So much fun.
And I was actually thinking about re-reading the VA. Or maybe finally finishing Succuba?

Yes! Re-reads are fabulous, especially if they live up to the memory.
