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.”

Hope your reading luck turns around...if not at least you know there are more books where this came from 🤞"
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.
