No worries. "Just" 3*, but i really liked it. I just feel that this book was rather an introduction to the whole series and had a lot of explanation involved (not that i did not need that ;)) and therefore a bit less action.
Definitly keep reading this series!

For the first 100 pages or so, I was so bored I could barely keep my eyes open. But, then hot damn! I loved this book! There were multiple twists and turns. However, I didn't really like the ending, I found it very predictable. (view spoiler) Over all, I really enjoyed this book, even though the beginning is very ...more

Don't compare this book to any other vampire series, Vampire Academy is nothing like them. I promise you, the books only get better and there is a spinoff series, Bloodlines, as well. ...more
