I loved that Rose and Dimitri ended up together I mean their relationship was bittersweet and them being together made it all worthwhile. As for Adrian from the moment he entered the book at the Ski resort I knew he was going to be trouble and from that moment on I've hated him due to the fact that he kept getting in the way of Rose and Dimitri relationship. But in Last sacrifice when she broke up with him I actually started to cry and I felt really bad for Adrian because no one in my oponion should feel that empty inside I mean its like the worst feeling and I felt for him. In Last sacrifice I realized that it doesnt take two characters to make a story or two personalities but it takes a whole lot of them whether we like them or not. Thats what gets readers more involved in books and adds that feirce passion that we all share so yeah...I love that they ended up together I mean they were always meant for each other even though others disagree and without certian characters like Adrian the book would have been dull and therefor there would have been nothing to look forward to.
Who's Adrian?! He wasn't in the first book was he? That's all I've read so far.

OMG..k 1st of all rose and dimitri were made for eachother!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! like i love adrian and all but he didn't make rose happy like dimitri did! i would have been peed off if rose had stayed with adrian because Dimitri and her are soulmates!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! i was sooooooooo glad and felt like a hugh weight was lifted off of my shoulders when they got together again :)
Yes I agree Rose and Dmitri were perfect together and he made her happy, and they should be together.. but Adrian, there is something to be noted in a flawed hero, who isn't moralistic but would do anything for the one he loves. I hated Rose for what she did to him.
Yes, I was happy that Rose and Dimitri ended up together. After everything they went through they deserved their happiness. However, I didn't like the way things happened in Last Sacrifice. I never disliked Adrian. I actually think he was one the main reasons VA was such a good series. But Adrian deserved better than Rose (sorry to all Rose fans). She never really loved him and her actions in Last Sacrifice were selfish to the core. I actually ended up feeling nothing but contempt towards her. It was such a weird feeling because I was happy that she and Dimitri were finally together but at the same time I was completely pissed at her for cheating on Adrian and for ruining Eddie and Sydney's life without even telling them 'thanks, I owe you.'
I'm Happy with the Ending. Except for the Fact that they can only see each other sometimes, because there different peoples guardian.
agreed.
I was very happy. Haha when they got together in the end I was like FINALLY! It took them long enough!! XD
Michelle wrote: "Yes, I was happy that Rose and Dimitri ended up together. After everything they went through they deserved their happiness. However, I didn't like the way things happened in Last Sacrifice. I never..."I'm not trying to start a fight or anything but I wouldn't exactly say she was being selfish. Was it wrong that Rose had sex with Dimitri when she was still in a relationship with Adrian? Yes. But Adrian knew that Rose never loved him the way he loved her. Adrian knew when he started dating Rose that she was still in love with Dimitri but he decided to cope with it and hope she would forget about him. Obvoisly she didn't and I'm sure he knew more than he was letting on when he saw how "gold and bright" Roses aura was. I mean he had to know something was up because if Sonya can tell that Rose and Dimitri light up around each other than it would make no sense that Adrian can't either. Also I think it is somewhat of a good think that Rose dumped him because Adrian can move on and find someone he truely loves and someone who truely loves him back equally. If you have read Bloodlines Syndey and Adrian seem to have chemistry and Sydney seems like a better partner for Adrian than Rose. When Adrian was with Rose he felt guitly because she was so strong and he only tried to hide his smoking and drinking. Sydney inspires and motivates Adrian to become a better person and to stop drinking and smoking. Sydney also encourages Adrian to take care of himself and to not just live off his parents like a leech. Ahh this is way to long. But I do agree with you about the whole thing with Sydney and Eddie. She should have said something but I'm not sure if she was able to even be in contact with them afterwards. I do remember Rose being extremely worried and guitly about her friends so she wasn't being complety inconsiderate.
I was happy, ok more than happy, literally crying over the ending. I love Dimitri and had been rooting for Rose and Dimitri pairing ever since the first book.Its is not like i don't sympathize with Adrian, only that Richelle introduced him as a plot device- love triangle. He served his purpose and was out of it. Now he even has a whole spin-off dedicated to him. I still don't get the disappointment over this ending.
Just because Adrian got rejected many hate Dimitri. Its not like he had anything to it. Adrian deserved to be rejected, he tried to take advantage of rose's vulnerability.
Besides i think adraian and Sydney make a great couple.

This is exactly how I feel.

Dimitri and Rise belonged together !
Curlygirly wrote: "Michelle wrote: "Yes, I was happy that Rose and Dimitri ended up together. After everything they went through they deserved their happiness.

Curlygirly wrote: "Michelle wrote: "Yes, I was happy that Rose and Dimitri ended up together. After everything they went through they deserved their happiness. However, I didn't like the way things happened in Last S..."I hear what you are saying I'm also not trying to pick a fight with anyone. I think it's fair to say we read the same thing but have different interpretations of it. If I remember correctly, Rose only felt bad about Eddie and Sydney after she had the conversation with Adrian and he pointed it out. Maybe she would have come to that conclusion on her own later, but that wasn't the way Richelle wrote it.
I totally agree that Adrian was in part to blame for the situation he found himself in. If I was his friend I would have told him that Rose treated him like a prostitute, she always went to him for help, financially and emotionally (when Dimitri told he didn't want her) and Adrian, was all too glad to help. Actually it was worst than a prostitute because he wasn't getting laid or paid. In that sense, Rose was being selfish because she took advantage of Adrian's feelings and didn't give him any thing substantial in return. But again, this I would say if I had a friend in this situation, just to make a point and try to put some sense in his thick head.
The other reason I thought Rose was selfish in Last Sacrifice was when she ran away from Dimitri and Sydney because she wanted to return to Court and created more problems for them. Did she take into consideration that her presence at Court would be more of a hindrance than help? I don't think she did. I had the feeling she just wanted to be in the middle of everything at all costs, screw the problems her friends went through to break her out of jail.
But that is besides the point of this thread. As I said before, even the mixed emotions Last Sacrifice evoked in me, I was happy with Dimitri and Rose together and I'm more than happy to see Adrian and Sydney's relationship blossom. So I guess in the end, we are all in agreement, right?
Yup :) Did you guys here that Richelle Mead is writing a short story on Rose and Dimitri going back to Russia to visit his family? I'm so excited!!!
Curlygirly wrote: "Yup :) Did you guys here that Richelle Mead is writing a short story on Rose and Dimitri going back to Russia to visit his family? I'm so excited!!!"Yep, I heard that. I forgot what it was called now. I think there will be trouble with Dimitri's sisters there. When Rose left, the situation was far from resolved.
I was extremely unhappy with her ending up with Dimitri the way she did. She cheated on Adrian and didn't look back; that simple action lowered her in my eyes.I was a huge Rose and Dimitri fan and I was also a Adrian but after that I can't stand Rose or Dimitri.
Curlygirly wrote: "Yup :) Did you guys here that Richelle Mead is writing a short story on Rose and Dimitri going back to Russia to visit his family? I'm so excited!!!"Apprently she's writing a few short stories that will be out at the end of the year.
I agree that Rose was extremely selfish. I thought she was great up until book 4 when she just became plain arrogant and reckless. She seemed to think she was the only one that could do anything. She started to buy her own press.
In SB, Eddie is about to kill Dimitri, and would have, if Rose hadn't stopped him. He was about to do something that she simply couldn't and yet in Bloodlines, it's said that Rose doesn't think anyone could guard Lissa or Jill as well as she could. Egotistical much? Tasha tells Rose that she is the only one that can fix Christian's and Lissa's relationship and Rose thinks she's being insolent? Seriously?
Eddie can do what she can't but she still thinks she's better? She used Adrian and Jill for her own purposes and Eddie and Sydney got into serious trouble because they helped her and now they've all been exiled to the other side of the country.
But Rose and Dimitri are together so it's okay? I lost a lot of respect for Rose and Dimitri by the end of Last Sacrifice and gained a lot for Sydney, Jill, Eddie and Adrian. Maybe Rose and Dimitri can show some honor in the Bloodlines Series but I doubt it. I think it's the outcasts time to shine.
If your going to put a subject of discussion that happens in the last book, you should really put it under the last book. Because,I haven't finished the series and just from looking at the title of this discussion I know what happens in the end.

I completely agree with the points you've made. Even in Bloodlines she mentions how they're going to be slaughtered even with Eddie with them. The whole time she was there she kept taking shots at Eddie's ability. I honestly don't like her presences in the book unless she's fighting because that's all she's good for these days.
I know everyone's pissed but if there wasn't some sort of drama left in the Vampire Academy's series how would Richelle be able to make her lovely companion series Bloodlines. There may be more to the story than we know so far.
Curlygirly wrote: "I know everyone's pissed but if there wasn't some sort of drama left in the Vampire Academy's series how would Richelle be able to make her lovely companion series Bloodlines. There may be more to ..."I agree. I'm actually very happy that RM left a few of the characters futures open so that Bloodlines could happen. I'm just hoping that the underdogs prove to be better than the VA group.
I think Sydney, Jill, Eddie and Adrian are a much more intresting group than Rose, Dimitri, Lissa and Christian. Plus they are dealing with much bigger issues than Rose ever faced.
In VA it was all about Lissa being safe, Rose becoming a guardian, being with Dimitri and proving her innocence. In Bloodlines, it's about keeping Jill safe, dealing with everyones personal issues, Alchemists, Keepers, Witches and curing the Strigoi which in turn means saving the Moroi world. They've got a much bigger tasks ahead of them. :D
Let's just hope Richelle addresses all those issues instead of getting side tracked by random villains and giving as a half baked end of series (yes, I'm referring to Shadow Heir).

We've already go witches in the mix and RM hits at Vamp hunters. I'm looking forward to it. :D
I was 100% happy that Rose and Dimitri were together.My fav couple :)
Sammy wrote: "Michelle wrote: "Let's just hope Richelle addresses all those issues instead of getting side tracked by random villains and giving as a half baked end of series (yes, I'm referring to Shadow Heir)...."Yeah, with so much going on I doubt the issues left pending in VA will be addressed at all which is a shame.
Michelle wrote: "Sammy wrote: "Michelle wrote: "Let's just hope Richelle addresses all those issues instead of getting side tracked by random villains and giving as a half baked end of series (yes, I'm referring to..."I think some of them will be addressed in TGL. Just putting Dimitri and Adrian together is asking for trouble which should be very entertaining. :)
Sammy wrote: "Michelle wrote: "Sammy wrote: "Michelle wrote: "Let's just hope Richelle addresses all those issues instead of getting side tracked by random villains and giving as a half baked end of series (yes,..."Yeah, but I was referring to the larger issues such the dhampirs situation. Dimitri and Adrian together is just noise in my opinion. I couldn't care less about what is going to happen between them. Honestly, I hate that Richelle is forcing Rose and Dimitri in the story even if in cameos because I'm pretty much done with them. Maybe Dimitri's presence will be justified but I'm not too sure. Rose's cameo appearance in Bloodlines was unnecessary and extremely annoying. Gosh, I just wanted to shoot her because she had become quite an insufferable bitch.
I was quite happy that Rose and Dimitri got together at the end but not as much as I would have been if their characters had done so with integrity, tact and honour. I'm still finding it hard to get around the fact that R.Mead turned two characters who I absolutely adored into two characters I found weak & selfish at best and hideous, shameless & repugnant at worst.
I think R.Mead specializes in turning once liked characters into loathed characters..I can't remember any other author that's managed to change my opinion of the heroine & hero so drastically.

I completely agree with her making the audience hate the characters. I was a huge Rose fan up until the last 2 books.

Let's hope she doesn't do the same with Sydney and Adrian, but knowing her she will, at least with Sydney. Ugh!

That's so true. In Frostbite and Shadow Kiss I thought Rose was growing so much, but she just went the opposite way in the last three books.
Darlene =) wrote: "That's so true. In Frostbite and Shadow Kiss I thought Rose was growing so much, but she just went the opposite way in the last three book."R.Mead has a habit of making the heroine/hero's in her series into a cheater, liar or hypocrite..she must thinks this makes them charmingly flawed or deliciously complex and layered..when all it makes them is an unworthy hero/heroine.
I like flawed characters but the things Rose/Dmitri/Eugenie and Seth do in my book are unforgiveable in a hero/heroine..so they go from flawed characters to just plain fuc**d up characters.

Totally agree with you there.
I think that's true. I liked Rose up until book 4. The only ones that didn't turn douche are Eddie, Lissa, Christian and Adrian. Most of the other characters weren't in it enough to have any major turn around.Mia is the exception to the rule of course. She started off and a complete bitch and then became pretty badass. I hope she shows up in the Bloodlines series. :)
Sammy wrote: "I think that's true. I liked Rose up until book 4. The only ones that didn't turn douche are Eddie, Lissa, Christian and Adrian. Most of the other characters weren't in it enough to have any major ..."Oh, I so wanted to see more of Mia. It was a shame that Richelle simply dropped her character by the end of VA. (view spoiler)
Angelina? She's one of the keepers. I like her. One of the first things she did was punch Rose. :P
Sammy wrote: "Angelina? She's one of the keepers. I like her. One of the first things she did was punch Rose. :P"Yeah, that was good but she has the same cocky personality as Rose and I found her sort of irritating in Last Sacrifice. But I guess if she manages to improve Jill's personality than it will be a good thing.
Michelle wrote: "Yes, I was happy that Rose and Dimitri ended up together. After everything they went through they deserved their happiness. However, I didn't like the way things happened in Last Sacrifice. I never..."Rose might have been selfish but when you train your whole life to be someones shadow and put many people ahead of you for so long, you tend to want somethings just for yourself, just saying. Rose deserves to have Dimitri all to herself at least sometimes if not all the time. Though i do agree that Adrian needs someone who loves him.
Curlygirly wrote: "Michelle wrote: "Yes, I was happy that Rose and Dimitri ended up together. After everything they went through they deserved their happiness. However, I didn't like the way things happened in Last S..."Also remember when Rose and Eddie were shovling dirt at court? She was yelling at him and said she was sorry for the whole Dimitri thing. So she did appologize for most of it.
Sammy wrote: "Michelle wrote: "Sammy wrote: "Michelle wrote: "Let's just hope Richelle addresses all those issues instead of getting side tracked by random villains and giving as a half baked end of series (yes,..."love the drama in the VA series. Cant wait to start reading The bloodlines series.
Okay, I'm not here trying to change anyone's mind about Rose and whether she is a worthy heroine or not, but I came across this hilarious review of Last Sacrifice that pretty much summarizes my feelings towards her, Dimitri and the clusterfuck that was Last Sacrifice. Warning, this a very harsh review, way harsher than mine. So if you loved Last Sacrifice and thinks Mead is the new messiah of paranormal literature, don't read it. my link text

I enjoyed most of Bloodlines. Sydney was definitely a refreshing change from Rose. But I have no doubt that Mead will manage to irritate the heck out of me throughout the series.
I hate rose for doing toat to adrian, it was so mean.
I am still wondering, one guy is introduced as hero and maintains his position until somewhere in the second book another flawed gorgeous guy falls for the same girl. All of a sudden guy 1 goes through difficult times from strigoi to damphir and out of remorse turns hostile towards the heroine. Guy 2 trying to use the opportunity pursues heart broken heroine to accepting him to be her partner. When the first guy finally realizes what a fool he had been in pushing away the love of his life and takes the step to get her back, he is painted as a vilian for no reason.
If the second guy was ditched as a result the first guy is totally blamed. The worst hit is the heroine who is still a teenager who can hardly be expected to be a perfect judge of everything. You want a character to be realistic then being crappy with choices is the best show of being real and human.
Adrain was fully aware that rose wanted only Dimitri. He financed her hoping someday he can get her. It was not even out of friendship. So love can be measured in monetary terms? Sure bankers fund us when needed, can we love them?
Its is easy to blame rose for her mistakes, but where does it place Adrian? Rose did not guarantee him anything. He was a pure opportunist. For a teenager being alone is the worst fear; speak words love they'll accept without a question. Had Adrain given her time to think about her real feelings and then if he was rejected i would have been really mad at Rose. But for selfish reasons he rushed her. So he definitely deserved what he got :(
I was just wondering anyway. :P :D
