It’s winter break at St. Vladimir’s, but Rose is feeling anything but festive. A massive Strigoi attack has put the school on high alert, and now the Academy’s crawling with Guardians—including Rose’s hard-hitting mother, Janine Hathaway. And if hand-to-hand combat with her mom wasn’t bad...more

The first book in this series left me feeling a big Meh. It’s confusing, nonsensical premise was distracting, though I felt in some ways it managed to distract from what was essentially a weak plot and simple story.

The same can not be said for Frostbite. The lore of Vampire Academy hasn’t changed but the complexities and further insight, or perhaps just familiarity have lessoned the ache of it. It’s also dealt with differently and in a more realistic way – which is in direct ascension with the g...more

This is a satisfying sequel, because the thing is, Richelle Mead could have gone very obvious with Rose. It would have been easy street, and would have probably still worked, as Rose threw in a quip here and there, kicked some ass, got in trouble, got saved, learned her lesson and then got the boy.

It would have been easy street, and would have probably still worked, as Rose threw in a quip here and there, kicked some ass, got in trouble, got saved, learned her lesson and then got the boy.
Bada Bing. Bada Boom.
And while Rose may do all those things, she does them in her own way and her own time and becomes a fully fleshed girl whose mistakes you might cringe at but you understand. That's Rose. So watching her grow, learn and change is an absolute pleasure. Everything about her you believe, whether she drives you crazy or not, you believe because she becomes that real to you.

That being said, this is another great entry to the Vampire Academy world. Lissa and Christian's relationship is another thing I love about the series, seeing two social opposites navigate a relationship. Christian Ozera is an outsider to the Royal Moroi world even though his last name sits amongst the ranks. In this story we get to see that Christian is just as much of a hero as his dhampir counterparts, and that he can hold his own on the smartass train.
Speaking of said train, this is the book where we meet Adrian Ivashkov. Standing amongst a cloud of clove smoke with a charmer's grin, Adrian brings the devil-may-care attitude to this group of teenagers that have had to grow up way too fast. Adrian pulls out all the stops with his Rose flirtations, seeing things brewing between the characters that the others can't, which adds a bit of mystery to who exactly this guy with the perfectly mussed hair is and what exactly he's going to bring to the party. Because, without a doubt, if Adrian is around there is a party not too far behind him.

Then there's my Dimitri Belikov. Who apparently also goes by Dimka. Stop stealing our heart already. Okay, i'm lying, don't you ever stop. After the end of Vampire Academy we know the feelings Dimitri is battling when it comes to Rose, which makes their interactions that much more intense and delicious. Tasha Ozera, Christian's bold aunt, is now also on the playing field as a Strigoi attack brings everyone together at a ski resort for the winter holiday, inviting a whole host of characters into the academy world. Like an unexpected family member that is going to bring the fight right out of Rose.

The stakes (excuse the pun) are even higher in this go 'round, because this fight is even more lethal than anything Victor Dashkov gave. Rose and her friends working together against a common creepy-as-hell enemy gives us our first glimpse into what these kids can do and what they've learned from the academy. Christian will surprise you. Mason will break your heart. Dimitri will steal it. Other characters will shock you, but it's fierce and it's awesome and will give you a paper cut if you're not careful.

Oh. My. Goodness. Rose Hathaway is back, and she’s the reason we have the word BADASS. Frostbite, the second instalment in the Vampire Academy series, is rather obvious evidence that there is a real reason this series is so colossally popular.

A lot of people don't like this Vampire Academy book as much, but it's one of my favorites. There are breath-taking battle sequences at the end, and a devastating aftermath that leaves Rose forever changed. My respect for her grew leaps and bounds in this book, and the series really kicked into high gear both in story and in emotion.

Frostbite is very different from the first in the VA series. In this one, it is less about the high school type drama and more about the politics of society, fulfilling your destined roles, and has a more grown up feel to it.

For Rose Hathaway, life as a Guardian-in-training at St. Vladimir's Academy is never easy.

While her best friend, future charge, and sole remaining member of the royal family member (Lissa) may no longer be in direct danger, the Strigoi (those vampires who drink blood, possess super-strength, have red pupils, and also have no qualms about using their powers over the elements as a method of attack) are still the greatest threat facing their Moroi counterparts....more

Frostbite konnte aber mit seinem Vorgänger Vampire Academy mithalten und hat mich genau so positiv überrascht.

Das Buch sammelt Pluspunkte dadurch, dass es einen Prolog gibt, in dem die Geschehnisse des ersten Bandes noch einmal zusammengefasst werden. Ich habe Band 1 vor nicht allzu langer Zeit gelesen (letzte Woche xD), daher habe ich das nicht wirklich gebraucht, aber im Allgemeinen finde ich so etwas sehr gut. Ich vergesse nämlich meistes ziemlich viel, wenn zwischen Band 1 und Band 2 viel Zeit liegt.

Rose war mir auch hier wieder sehr sympathisch. Seit den Geschehnissen aus Vampire Academy ist gut ein Monat vergangen und dementsprechend hat Rose keine vollkommene Wandlung vollzogen. Sie ist immer noch schlagfertig, impulsiv und manchmal etwas kindisch, was sie von vielen anderen auch gesagt bekommt und was sie sehr stört. Nichtsdestotrotz hat sie aber auch ihre "weisen" Momente, in denen sie vernünftiger ist als alle anderen. Sie trifft manchmal immer noch schlechte Entscheidungen, ist aber nicht zu dickköpfig um sich im Nachhinein auch einzugestehen, dass sie schlecht waren. Sie lernt viel dazu und verschließt sich nicht gegen neue Erkenntnisse. Ich denke, in Frostbite lernt sie viel dazu und ich glaube, das wird man in den noch kommenden Büchern auch merken.

Vor allem am Ende zeigt sie, dass auch sie erwachsen sein kann. Dass sie selbstlos ist und sich viele Sorgen um andere macht, weiß man ja bereits, aber es erreicht einen neuen Höhepunkt, den ich so nicht vorhergesehen habe. Ich denke, sie wird immer noch ihre "schlechten" Momente haben, in denen sie erst handelt und dann denkt und kindisch ist und vielleicht ein wenig egoistisch, aber im Großen und Ganzen wird sie sich doch zu einer tollen Persönlichkeit entwickeln, der hoffentlich nie ihr Humor verloren geht.

Einen großen Teil zu ihrer Entwicklung trägt auch Roses Mutter Janine bei. In Vampire Academy hört man nur ihren Namen, in Frostbite lernt man sie persönlich kennen. Sie ist anfangs eine sehr undurchdringliche Person, zu der man keine Beziehung aufbauen kann. Aber genau so wie Rose von ihr etwas lernt, so lernt auch ihre Mutter etwas von ihr. Ich hoffe, sie auch in den kommenden Bänden noch öfters zu treffen.

Was mir auch hier wieder nicht so gut gefallen hat ist, dass ich noch nicht wirklich mehr über Dimitri in Erfahrung gebracht habe. Ich kann verstehen, warum Rose sich von ihm angezogen fühlt und auch seine Gefühle kann ich verstehen und glaube ihm auch. Aber er ist immer noch ein bisschen zu "glatt" für mich. Ich weiß, auch er hat seine Schattenseiten und seine guten Seiten und ja er kann auch lachen, aber das zeigt er einfach nicht. Ich finde ihn und Rose toll zusammen, weil sie so viel voneinander lernen können und sich so geben können wie sie sind aber ich fiebere dennoch nicht jedes Mal mit angehaltenem Atem mit, wenn die beiden sich treffen. Das Augenmerk der Geschichte liegt auch eher woanders und das ist gut so.

Zudem kommt aber, dass Rose ein bisschen in ein Liebeschaos gerät. Eigentlich will sie Dimitri, aber er hat ihr ja gesagt, dass eine Beziehung der beiden einfach nicht möglich ist. Rose beschließt deshalb, Mason, der sie regelrecht vergöttert, eine Chance zu geben. Anfangs fand ich das nicht so gut, weil das für mich wie ausnutzen klang, aber ich kann Rose dennoch verstehen. Es ist ja auch nicht so, als würde sie ihm die ewige Liebe schwören und ihn damit gefügig machen. Sie flirtet mit ihm, küsst ihn... ist aber dann auch dazu bereit sich ihre wahren Gefühle einzugestehen und ehrlich zu sein. Normalerweise nerven mich solche Beziehungskisten, aber in Frostbite sind sie mir nicht so negativ aufgefallen. Aus Band 1 weiß man ja, wieso Rose so ein "alles oder nichts"-Typ ist und dementsprechend kann man ihr Handeln nachvollziehen.

Dann taucht auch noch ein neuer Charakter auf, den ich anfangs total dämlich fand, wo ich mich am Ende aber gezwungen sah, meine Meinung noch mal zu überdenken. Ich rede von Adrian, einem echt verzogenem Moroi-Gör :D. Er ist mit jetzt nicht unbedingt sympathisch, aber das Ende von Frostbite hat mich doch sehr neugierig gemacht und ich bin gespannt, was man noch mit ihm erleben wird. Ich denke, wenn Rose ihn unter ihre Fuchtel wird, wird er etwas entspannter und vielleicht nicht mehr ganz so... piekfein :D.

In Frostbite taucht ebenso wie in Vampire Academy wieder eine Bedrohung auf, die aber dieses Mal weitaus gefährlicher und auch weitreichender ist. Sie ist immer präsent, auch wenn jetzt nicht auf jeder einzelnen Seite atemlose Spannung herrscht. Ich habe jedenfalls mitgerätselt und mitgebangt und konnte kaum mit dem Lesen aufhören. Ich muss aber gestehen, mit dem was am Ende passiert, hätte ich nicht gerechnet. Richelle Mead ist nämlich so mutig und lässt jemanden sterben. Für mich, die ich nah am Wasser gebaut bin ist so was ganz ganz ganz schlecht! :'( Ich bin mal gespannt, wie sich das noch auswirken wird. Ich glaube auch, dass die oben genannte Bedrohung auch noch eine weitere Rolle spielen wird... Ich würde gerne mehr über die Hintergründe erfahren. Der Bösewicht hat ja einiges preisgegeben, aber ich denke, da steckt noch mehr dahinter. Oh weh, Vampire Academy hat leichtes Suchtpotential :D! Die ersten beiden Bände hatten zwar keine gemeinen Cliffhanger, dennoch will ich unbedingt weiterlesen...Schlimm!

FAZIT

Frostbite konnte mit seinem Vorgänger Vampire Academy mithalten, wenn es mir nicht sogar einen Ticken besser gefallen hat. Rose ist eine tolle Protagonistin, deren Entwicklung man miterlebt und die man auch nachvollziehen kann. Ich mag sie total gerne. Auch die anderen Charaktere waren wieder toll und konnten mich überraschen, vor allem Roses Mutter. Es war mal wieder sehr spannend, aber auch um einiges emotionaler, was mir einerseits sehr gut gefallen hat, mich andererseit aber auch sehr gefordert hat. Ich freue mich schon sehr auf Band 3!

Frostbite bekommt sehr gute Pancakes von mir, mit einer starken Tendenz zu 5 :)(less)

It’s recommended all over the place, the star average for this is really good, and it’s really popular – maybe I got my hopes up too high? I read the first one, was indifferent to it, and then I heard about this series everywhere. It was a series that got better as it went along. There was character development. The heroine was multi-dimensional. Good, strong romance. Interesting characters. So, after a year, I picked up the second one to see if I had missed something and ... eh.

On one hand, I do see some positives, like the vampire lore. Most paranormal teen books are painfully simplistic, and I’m glad to say this book does have some world building going on here. I know nothing of vampires, so when I was researching fictional creatures and came across the types of vampires that were in these books, I was quite impressed. Using real mythology to work in your story and giving your own twist on it in a modern setting? Not bad, Mead. If I’m being painfully honest, I thought she just made those words (Strigoi/Dhampir etc) up completely. But hey, come on, some authors don’t even know what happens to vampires when they walk into the sun, not naming any names.

And .... that’s pretty much what I liked.

I have to laugh when I hear the characters of Vampire Academy being called complex or “deep” – I mean really. Come on. Read a real book. I get what the attraction to Rose is – big mouthed, outgoing, snarky – the exact opposite of the whiny dish mop YA heroines we’re used to, amirite? No, let’s instead make her ANOTHER stereotype and now she’s oh-so-original! Don’t actually bother to make her a three dimensional character, that would be SO MUCH WORK. Just make her the exact opposite of the dish mop heroine, and teens will totally fall for it because she’s so speshul and different – except they DO fall for it! URGH. Rose is just so exaggerated I don’t even really hate her; there’s not enough of her to feel much of anything for. She’s just too obnoxious, too loud, too self-absorbed to really be taken seriously. And to top it off, she’s kind of an idiot. This girl is some kind of guardian for a PRINCESS and she’s about as slow as a heard of turtles racing through peanut butter. Mead has a hard time planning surprises well, because nothing comes off nearly as shocking as it is intended because any semi-discerning reader is smarter than Rose. The secondary characters are all right I guess – I like the witty remarks and all, although none of them make me laugh out loud. Still, it’s nice to have a group of teenagers speaking like teenagers for a change without quoting Latin and Shakespeare. Except Dimitri, who’s about as fun as watching “The Curious Case of Benjamin Button” without a bathroom break.

Speaking of which, this series is soooo predictable. Can someone please tell me why all teen authors do this? I wouldn’t mind a love triangle, I really wouldn’t, if there was actually a point or at the very least a surprise along the way. If we have three interesting, complex characters, and you like all three of them, then a love triangle can make you ache for them. If you have a hard time choosing between the two boys (or girls, I suppose, but you never see a girl-boy-girl love triangle) then that’s a sign you did it RIGHT. If you don’t know who the girl is going to pick because both boys are so awesome and she sincerely loves them both, then you’re doing it right. WHY DOES NO AUTHOR EVEN ATTEMPT TO DO THIS? Answer: because that would actually require some tough decision making.

How do YA authors REALLY write love triangles? You’ve got the main girl, the soul mate, and the poor other guy who you know is going to either end up miserable and alone, dead, or hooking up with some secondary character you barely even remember the name of by the end. I haven’t even read the rest of the series and I don’t have to – I KNOW Rose will end up with Dimitri. I know it the way I knew Bella would end up with Edward, Clary would end up with Jace, Ever would end up with Damen, Luce would end up with Daniel, Tessa with Will, Donna with Xan ... just a few off the top of my head (some of these series aren’t done and I have no intention on reading them, but trust me, I KNOW – I HAVE NEVER BEEN WRONG YET). Even the Hunger Games, which on most days I think is a good series, was painfully obvious with the love triangle – did Gale ever really have a chance? The author can never help but hinting at who her favourite is, and when you know who the favourite is, you’ve got who the girl will end up with. When you know who ends up together, it’s boring. It makes the angst pointless and annoying to read because you know everything is going to end up alright. She’ll end up with the lame, mysterious, brooding guy, because she always does. Screw the guy with a personality and sense of humour.

(Sidenote: Have you noticed the readers always seem to like the underdog guy? I wonder why that is. Maybe the author is so busy trying to make everyone love the brooding guy, and she isn’t trying to make the other guy swoon-worthy, that his personality comes out easier. Because Brooding Guy never seems to have a personality.)

The writing is terrible by the way. I know, I know, it’s written in the narration of a rather dimwitted teenage girl, but it’s still irritating. The prologue, explaining the story so far was so corny I was grimacing the whole way through. It gets a bit better after that but everything is explained – unfortunately – through Rose, so naturally, it’s all telling, no showing, explaining the most obvious things, the vocabulary never extending past that of a sixth grader and ruining sentimental moments with cheesy, misplaced comments only a stupid teenage girl would say.

Look, it’s not the worst book in the world (silly, “Marked” is!) but I can’t slog through what, four more of these? I know what’s going to happen in the end, so I don’t see much of a point in going through hackneyed, predictable trials of these bland characters when I KNOW. Will Rose and her mother reconnect? Will Rose's father be revealed? Will Lissa end up a powerful royal? Which boy will Rose end up with? Will good conquer over darkness?

Gee, I have NO FRIGGIN IDEA.

I think that if you're a fan of either of her other two series you'd like this one a lot too, even though it's a teen series.

This doesn't read like a normal teen series though. There is some of the normal stuff that teens have to deal with; peer pressure, the requisite blond "mean girl," and sexual frustration, among other things. The difference here though is Rose is STRONG. She doesn't take crap from people, she sticks up for her friends, and she's smart. I'm sick of reading about simpering teen girls that let the popular kids walk all over them. Rose doesn't let anyone bully her, but she knows when to pick her fights and when to back down. Rose is funny too, she's such a smart ass and I love her for that.

This book picks up after the end of the last one. Lissa is still being medicated to keep her dark thoughts away and her powers tamped down. Rose has slowly caught up to the rest of the novices in her studies and is about to take a test that she should have taken the year before. She and Dimitri take a trip to visit to another guardian who will administer the test to her. When they get to the house of the guardian and the Moroi that he protects, Rose and Dimitri find everyone dead, killed by Strigoi. They go back to the academy and it's decided that there's safety in numbers so for Christmas break everyone goes to a ski lodge together. Unfortunately though, there's another attack on one of the royal families and the guardians and Moroi struggle for an answer for keeping everyone safe.

We meet a couple of new characters in this book, Adrian Ivashkov being my favorite. At times I was thinking that Rose should forget about Dimitri and just go for Adrian, but that's my love for bad boys speaking. Once everyone gets to the ski lodge, the story really picks up and the ending was pure craziness. I cried for about 10 pages near the end, it was all just really sad and intense.

I loved everything about this book, I honestly can't find any faults with it. Even though the end was sad, it didn't make me like it any less. I'm scared to read the next one though, I've heard some people say that it was heartbreaking. But I love that Mead can pull those emotions from me and I'm excited to read the third book regardless.

Basically, Rachel Mead brings you back into her rather cliche but mysteriously addicting series a month after the events of Vampire Academy. The protagonist Rose Hathaway is still as annoying and pathetically flirty as she was before but in this book she brings it to a whole new level of fooling around. I'm not being prudish or anything but it's just really annoying when she hooks up with other guys that she (a)doesn't give a shit about (b)doesn't love and knows she doesn't love or (c)will purposely just use for her benefits. It just really pisses me off but much to my surprise (and happiness) a few aspects of Rose's character change near to the end of the story, almost as if she grew up and I think that's what Rachel was aiming for, a sort of naive-teenage-girl turns into strong-experienced-adult effect, or atleast that's what I hope she's doing.

Also, as the blurb says, Mason and Rose seem to have a 'thing' going on in this book and a new character, Tasha Ozera, pops in between Dimitri and Rose and new complications create problems along with old complications and bla bla bla more romantic drama. Honestly, I couldn't care less about Rose's love life but the new characters and some new plot page-turners in this book made it worth the read.

First off, there's the famous Adrian Ivashkov that everyone in the fandom is dying for and I can't blame them really because Adrian is hot and sarcastic and alluring but his alcoholic and smoking habits seemed completely unnecessary. Infact, I found them to be just a cheap sellout to give us the impression that he's a "bad boy" by his habits and not by who he really is. All the same, he's amusing in every which way plus gorgeous and clever.

The new plotlines helped to heighten my interest in the series as a whole too. Not only do we get a Strigoi encounter but also a deeper understanding of what they're up to in the first place. Not to mention a whole lot of kickbutt magic action by Christian Ozera and, you won't believe it, Mia Renaldi too. Yup, things get more stranger and this series has a way of filling you with curiosity and if it weren't for that random, clumsy ending, then this book would have been 3 star material. (less)

There was a lot of character development which I was very happy about. I started out this book wanting to hit a lot of people but then toward the end I saw past the layers. Basically like Rose. I hoping that stronger relationships develop with (view spoiler). Or at least a step in that direction. I also look forward to more Adrian. He's intriguing and I do want to learn more about (view spoiler) and all the abilities that come with it.

I feel like I'm repeating what some of the characters said in the book, but they do speak the truth: Rose is young and still has a lot to learn. She acts like a teen and does deal with the drama "normal" teens do. But, the events that transpired forced her to grow up a lot more. I look forward to seeing some changes in her, see her become more of an adult. I mean, Mason did say there was a change in her but I do hope she learns to control her temper and rashness. I'm not sure if that'll happen if (view spoiler). At least that's what I'm thinking.

Truth be told, I was a little disappointed with the lack of Rose and Lissa. They're my favorite part of the series. Though, again, they are growing up and I suppose it's natural that with relationships and other duties getting in the way, they'll have less time together. That is until she becomes her guardian.

Questo libro è più intenso del primo!!!

Questo libro è più intenso del primo!!!
Mi sto veramente preoccupando, non riesco a staccarmi di questi libri! stanotte sono andata a letto alle 2, perchè non riuscivo a staccarmi, alla fine mi mancavano solo 40 pagine, ma è stata dura non finirlo stanotte stessa. Infatti stamattina ero uno zombie.
Passiamo al libro, abbiamo lasciato Rose e Lissa, con un pò di tranquillità, ma purtroppo non dura a lungo. Infatti gli Strigoi stanno uccidendo i Moroi reali. Tutti sono allarmati, infatti rafforzano le loro misure di sicurezza.
Anche i ragazzi dell'accademia vengono trasferiti in montagna, insieme a molti altri Moroi, cosi stando tutti insieme la protezione è maggiore.
Lissa vive il suo amore per Christian, e sembra che la sua salute mentale migliori, grazie non solo alle pillole, ma anche dalla vicinanza del suo ragazzo.
Rose purtroppo sta passando un periodo molto difficile, da una parte sente la gelosia verso l'amica, perchè la vede vivere il suo amore, e pensa che Lissa, passi più tempo con il ragazzo e non con lei, la sua situazione sentimentale non è delle più rosee, con Dimitri non va avanti, lui cerca di domarsi, infatti mostra interesse per una Moroi, Tasha, Rose ovviamente pazza di gelosia, cerca di dimenticare il bel russo con Mason. Non bastano tutti questi problemi, si aggiunge la famosa mamma.
In questo libro, conosciamo nuovi personaggi, come la forte Tasha, zia di Christin, che cerca di convincere i Moroi ad usare i loro poteri (ogni Moroi può "controllare un elemento" il fuoco, l'acqua, l'aria e la terra) e schierarsi con i dhampir guardiani, e aiutarli contro i nemici, che li stanno massacrando ad uno ad uno. Un personaggio bello forte, che non si lascia scoraggiare, dopo tutto quello che le è successo nella vita, sa alzarsi, lottare ed andare avanti.
Conosciamo anche Adrian, un Moroi molto misterioso, con una pessima reputazione che sembra interessato alle due amiche. Non ho ancora inquadrato questo affascinate ragazzo, all'inizio mi sembrava pericoloso, ma poi ha voluto solo aiutare. Aspetterò di finire il terzo, vediamo cosa ne penso poi, ora non so davvero cosa pensare.
Finale veramente tristissimo, stava per scendermi qualche lacrimuccia, sono riuscita a trattenermi per un pelo. Non ho capito perchè i novizi guardiani come Rose e Mason, nonostante manchino sei mesi, alla fine della scuola, e quindi si ritroveranno ad affrontare Strigoi, siano cosi poco allenati, ed esperti. Ora ok che Rose ha perso due anni, ma Mason ed Eddie?? non dovrebbero pensare con più lucidità, intelligenza e astuzia??
Non erano proprio pronti per la vita reale, mi ha un pò deluso questa cosa.
Lissa piange un pò di meno, per fortuna, ma comunque non mi sembra molto attaccata a Rose, adesso pensa solo a Christian, non vede che l'amica sta soffrendo per amore, anzi la spinge nelle braccia di un altro. Ma non vede come Rose si comporta quando vede, o sente parlare di Dimitri, nessuno si accorge di niente, forse solo Adrian si è accorto di qualcosa, comunque i loro sguardi parlano da soli, si amano alla follia.
Molte volte Rose avrebbe voluto sfogarsi, parlare con Lissa, ma la principessa non ha mai dato quella possibilità.
Ho provato pena per Rose, mi ha fatto tenerezza!!!
Un bellissimo libro che mi ha sconvolta è appassionata!!Mi sono già tuffata nel terzo!!! non sono riuscita a resistere, volevo fare una pausa, con "il diario di LOndon Lane", ma ho la testa su questi libri e non riuscirei a concentrarmi in un altra storia!!!!(less)

Buku kedua Vampire Academy ini lebih bagus ceritanya dari yang pertama.
Rose yang keras kepala dan sradak sruduk di buku satu, di buku dua ini sudah mulai adem ayem...pengaruh Dimitri kayaknya...

Rose semakin merasa menyukai Dimitri, namun Rose gak yakin Dimitri suka ke dia atau gak. Bukan itu aja yang bikin Rose pusing, dia tahu bahwa mencintai sesama pengawal adalah sia-sia dan dilarang. Terutama karena Dimitri adalah mentornya, terlebih juga karena Dimitri adalah pengawal resmi Lissa.

Of all the books I have to say this one belongs to my favorites (and trust me the 4 one didn't get that place in my heart!) Well..this book it's kind of sad but it made Rose stronger as well! The author is pretty clear in the way she explains the details of the book...
I obviously didn't like the fact that one of the good characters died! ( I swear I said something like "sad mood activated" ) All happened so fast it was like closing your eyes and then BAM! After the Strigois took Mason,Christian,...more

After a bloody massacre of a royal family the whole Moroi world is shaken, as a result the already pampered and coddled students at St. Vladimir's academy for wastes of oxygen(which is starting to sound like that over-the-top private school in the Richie Rich movies, but most people reading this are probably too young to remember those)are required to go on a "mandatory ski trip" that is they all hole up in some fancy-ass ski lodge in...more Wow. I honestly think that the characters are getting dumber.

After a bloody massacre of a royal family the whole Moroi world is shaken, as a result the already pampered and coddled students at St. Vladimir's academy for wastes of oxygen(which is starting to sound like that over-the-top private school in the Richie Rich movies, but most people reading this are probably too young to remember those)are required to go on a "mandatory ski trip" that is they all hole up in some fancy-ass ski lodge in Idaho for the Christmas break along with the cream of the Moroi elite and their guardians.
Between Rose's self-indulgent rants, laughable attempts to make Lissa a believable character and idiotic political posturing between people who are by all accounts supposed to be adults, yet another massacre occurs and a few disgruntled students decide they are sick of sitting around waiting to be attacked. Gee...I wonder what could POSSIBLY go wrong!

Anyway as I was saying Rose is still selfish, petty, childish, vacuous and vain. She's stringing a poor guy who is all hung up on her along whilst simultaneously pining over the Russian doorknob Dmitri who is a piece of cardboard with "antisocial god" presumably written on it.

Actually I usually keep my reviews pretty light but this is deeply disturbing, there is clearly mutual attraction between Dmitri and Tasha Ozera who is an awesome character, and the only one i didn't want to punch in the face...with a knife...but he dumps her for Rose (yeah we all know that's why he did it!) now ignoring the fact that he gave up a perfectly good woman and someone he had a genuine connection with...but a grown-ass man did so because of the affections of a TEENAGER and not a very bright one at that! The creep-factor is made SO much worse as Dmitri keeps saying "you seem so much older" (it seems like an attempt of Meads part to justify the relationship despite the age-gap and it almost sounds like he's trying to convince himself)....but yeah, that's what grown men used to say to the stupid girls in my high school when we were fifteen guess how that usually turned out.

It sounds very creepy and that's only initially, when we look deeply there is something very, very fucked up going on here. Dmitri is a teacher thus he is in a position of trust, the faculty and students trust him and this is a very important relationship and one that can be easily manipulated. In fact in a young child's life the student-teacher interactions are one of the first and primary relationships they are exposed to outside of immediate family and thus play a vital role in a child's development.
Now we look at Rose, she has a very distant relationship with her mother and at the time of this book hadn't seen her in over five years, is unaware of the identity of her father, she was raised at the academy, been there her whole life, thus we could probably correctly assume that teachers have been almost her sole parental figures throughout her childhood and early adolescence,this means that she already has a great respect or at least feels a bond for her guardians which would not be considered wholly appropriate to begin with, we see this in the way she mouths off to her teachers like they are her parents because they technically are surrogates for an absent mother and unknown father.
Now we look at Rose's behavior and it supports my hypothesis, her willingness and almost desperate need to get attention from others, in particular men, she is commonly known as "the school slut" and even if she doesn't sleep with them, has in the past fooled around a LOT(this is made more disturbing when you learn that she left the academy when she was fifteen and spent two years among humans meaning thus this reputation dated to before her fifteenth birthday) this indicates a deeply troubled young woman, she lacked any sort of strong, consistent parental figure growing up and therefore was desperate to seek positive affirmation and reinforcement in any way she could; for an adolescent girl the easiest way to do this is via boys as soon as she grows a pair of tits. This is tragic in itself, we can assume that Rose only ever feels good about herself when she is in the company of men, this is backed up in numerous instances; she is always either flirting, fooling around or obsessing over men. She even outright says that she "feels good" around Mason because of all the compliments he pays her.The locus of her own identity is entirely external to herself, or in laymen terms her entire sense of self-worth comes from how others perceive her.

Now we are back to Dmitri, she respects him in a professional sense, she trusts him as a teacher the way she'd trust any caregiver and she frequently refers to him as a "God" now, you really can't built a higher pedestal than that. Dmitri is aware of these feelings and manipulates her by pushing her away and then drawing her close, playing cruel mind games with an angry, lonely, insecure girl who is emotionally immature for her age, he compliments her (what she craves) and he tells her she "seems older" bolstering her affections for him and her self-confidence. This could even be considered "grooming". Rose feels good around Dmitri, she's getting the attention she's always had to act-out to get, he is a God to her she trusts him implicitly he'd never let her down, coupled with hormones and the peer pressure she feels because her only friend Lissa is sexually active and thus "neglecting" her, she can see into Lissa's head and thus craves the affection Lissa gets from her boyfriend, any young woman can tell you...we've all been there(it's also amusing to note that Mead accidentally wrote a deep character, and one who is the exact opposite of the strong, confident female lead she's trying to portray)
.And Dmitri the slimy creep that he is manipulates this under a veneer of concern. I volunteer with young people in disadvantaged areas and if I even SUSPECTED one of my colleagues(or any adult)of this shit with a teenage girl I’d report his ass faster than you could say "statutory", in fact we are trained to spot this EXACT kind of thing...
The only other explanation for this is that Dmitri a fully-grown, qualified and very well-respected professional guardian has the emotional maturity of a dimwitted teenage girl which in the context of this world and the apparent intelligence of the characters (see below)would actually explain a lot...

Anyway the plot struggles along, the characters are so stupid they should all be dead. The moroi royals really came into their element in this one, they are spoiled, vain, elitist snobs who are single-handedly causing the extincting of their own race due to their laziness, selfishness and cowardice and astonishing sense of self-entitlement, actually I now feel good every time another royal family is massacred. The main characters are all stupid or of average intelligence and Mead's attempts to make the appear smarter is not by actually making them smarter but making everyone else around them idiots, it's actually gotten to ridiculous proportions, case and point is Lissa's "brilliant, elegant solution" to moroi not wanting to fight" Her stroke of genius? Have the moroi take self-defense classes with the novices at the fucking academies! You know the ones they all currently go to! And the best part was all of the mouth-breathers who apparently run their society were like "Really! Fantastic! I never would have thought of that!" are you trying to tell me in that the century or so the guardian population has been dwindling and the moroi killed that NO ONE even considered this!!! That is the point i think when the books and their characters reached their intellectual rock-bottom, the literary equivalent of waking up in bed hungover and naked with your brother...but actually the characters have some even more remarkable displays of stupidity.

As for characters Adrian and Tasha were the ONLY characters I like, and Roses mom if only because she clocked the girl in the face. But we all know what will happen (or I do and will tell you because it's obvious!) Adrian becomes the third corner of an unconvincing love-triangle before Dmitri and Rose hookup (bastard should go to jail)...actually this is just a tangent but I'd like to add it in, Rose's "rival" Mia hates Lissa, because Lissa's Royal brother Andre screwed her and the dumped her because she was a "non-royal" which is a dick-move in itself but I've been doing a little math(and no I'm NOT obsessed with the books I Just have a very good memory, which is unfortunate when I read things like this and twilight) and it's stated that Andre was AT LEAST seventeen/eighteen when he died, two years ago and presumably he slept with Mia BEFORE he died or there is some seriously kinky shit going down in the vampire world. Now Mia is stated to be at least a year younger than Rose so she's sixteen, now if we Give Andre the benefit of the doubt and say that he slept with Mia JUST before he died and age him down it still means that A NEAR-GROWN MAN SLEPT WITH A GIRL WHO COULDN'T HAVE BEEN MORE THAN FOURTEEN!! What the fuck vampire academy. What the fuck! Apparently statutory rape isn't a thing in this world, but these books are targeted at young adults!
Ok people sorry about that! Now where was I? Ah yes, and Tasha jumps the shark and will get royally screwed over (no pun intended)

Frostbite is the second instalment of the Vampire Academy YA series, and although I really enjoy it, it seems to me that it doesn't so much continue the overall story arch as just give an episode in the life of Rose.
Don't get me wrong, it's another entertaining read. But we're treated to Rose and Dimitri both trying to make relationships with other people work, knowing that they can't be together.
The location shifts dramatically away from the Academy (it won't be the last time) because Strigoi a...more
