Vampire Academy Lovers discussion

I'm a geek, a computer geek. I wish Natalie couldn't survived VA. I think she would have been excellent in Frost Bite. I wouldn't have wanted Natalie to lose all of her geeky, smart, and humorous characteristics. Maybe some, but not all. I respect that FB had to be cold, not by climate but with the tone of the narrative. Some people might think that this is once again a disrespect to geeky characters. However, someone had to die in Vampire Academy, and it needed to be an essential character (someone that would be missed. I like Mia Rinaldi, but I would miss her less than Natalie if she died, in any book of course) with a lot of connections with Rose and Lissa. I'm not going to be ridiculous and go as far as saying I wish she could be resurrected. Resurrection would be idiotic in a series like this.
