Book Synopsis:
They come first.

My vision was growing dimmer, the blackness and ghosts closing in. I swore it was like I could hear Robert whispering in my ear: The world of the dead won't give you up a second time. Just before the light completely vanished, I saw Dimitri's face join Lissa's. I wanted to smile. I decided then that if the two people I loved most were safe, I could leave this world.

The dead could finally have me.


Rose Hathaway has always played by her own rules. She broke the law when she ran away from St. Vladimir's Academy with her best friend and last surviving Dragomir princess, Lissa. She broke the law when she fell in love with her gorgeous, off-limits instructor, Dimitri. And she dared to defy Queen Tatiana, leader of the Moroi world, risking her life and reputation to protect generations of dhampir guardians to come.

Now the law has finally caught up with Rose - for a crime she didn't even commit. She's in prison for the highest offense imaginable: the assassination of a monarch. She'll need help from both Dimitri and Adrian to find the one living person who can stall her execution and force the Moroi elite to acknowledge a shocking new candidate for the royal throne: Vasilisa Dragomir.

But the clock on Rose's life is running out. Rose knows in her heart the world of the dead wants her back...and this time she is truly out of second chances. The big question is, when your whole life is about saving others, who will save you?

Join Rose, Dimitri, Adrian, and Lissa in Last Sacrifice, the epic, unforgettable finale to Richelle Mead's international #1 bestselling Vampire Academy series.

Okay, working on this today. I'm about 20% in, right were they have to leave the crappy motel to find a new place thanks to Rose.

I kind of love how frustrated Rose is by being out of the loop on the plans. It would drive me crazy, too, so I feel her pain. Also, it continues to frustrate me that Dimitri is acting so loyal to Lissa while almost ignoring Rose. I know it's supposed to be a sign of his continuing recovery process and I'm trying to care but sometimes my compassion ends though and I'm just ready for him to get over it!

I like that Lissa is the one who has to save the day, for once. I'm not that into it always having to be Roses idea or question.

Just finished Chapter 25, so I'm a little over halfway. What did you think of how Lissa handled the challenges?

And, Dimitri seems to finally be healing a bit emotionally, so enter the love triangle full force. In fairness, this series keeps it lower than many, but I do get so tired of love triangles. It's a frustrating staple of YA books :/.
