"Vampire Academy", written by American writer Raychel Mid
Most likely all seen the first film of the same name "Vampire Academy" Danila Kozlovsky in the lead role? So this film is just the beginning of this epic. And it is this film also came up for me to look for the source of the script, that is the book. And I found them, as many as two series :) But let's not get ahead of ourselves.
series "Vampire Academy" consists of six books:
- Hunters and victims, 2007
- Frostbite, 2008
- Kiss of Darkness 2008
- Blood promises 2009
- Shackles for the ghost 2010
- The last victim 2010
To begin with, that will introduce you to the main characters of these books.
Rose Hezzevey - rebel-dhampir who is too self-confident in himself and not in vain. It has become one of the best guards.
Vasilisa Dragomir - skromnyazhka-moroyka, the only representative of one of the twelve royal families. And the owner of the unique magic.
Dmitry Belik - handsome dhampir, a living legend among the guards, a native of Russia.
Lake Christian - Moroi from rogue family and beloved Vasilisa. He owns the magic of fire.
Miya Rinaldi - moroyka, nemesis, and perhaps one Lissa (Vasilisy) and Rose. They will judge the time. Mia has magic water.
Eddie Castile - Dampier, who escaped alive from captivity Strigoi, but lost his best friend. The Rose he has acquired a new friend who is ready for any frenzy to achieve their goals!
Mason Ashford - dhampir and each Eddy and Rosa (wherein, very crush in the Rose).
Adrian Ivashkov - Queen Tatiana Ivashkova nephew, Moroi, the owner of strange magic, as well as at Lissa. Playboy and dolt. But rich.
Sidni Seydzh - a representative of the human race, the alchemist.
Eyb Mazur - Moroi, which has a huge impact in moroyskom world and the world of alchemists.
Victor Dashkov - dying Moroi, who could be king moroyskogo the world, if not for his illness.
In fact, the characters that made the book series "Vampire Academy" interesting, much more. And in order to learn about them and get to know them, I suggest you read the very series. In the meantime, let us consider in general terms the differences between the races of the protagonists.
Moroi- are living vampires . Their heart beats, they can eat regular meals. They are above ordinary people and they have paler skin. Living vampires may appear in the sun, but it acts on them adversely. To maintain their strength and health Moro necessarily need human blood.
Moroi do not kill their victims when feeding . They only take as much as needed to maintain a normal life. And those who live feeds of vampires called benefactors.
Each has a Moroi magic that belongs to one of the four elements - earth, water, air and fire. However, there is a fifth element - the spirit of which has long been forgotten.
Dampier - this race has appeared thanks to the connection of men with women Moroi or dhampir people. Dampier look like humans, but more hardy and strong. They are faster and easier to recover. The sun does not harm them at all, plus they feed on human food. Drink the blood of them do not need to maintain optimal functioning. Almost all Dampier at a young age are sent to special Academy, where he trained to protect the Moroi from srigoev.
Dhampirs race - a race bodyguards Moroi . And the training takes place in the same Academy, where Moroi trained.
Strigoi - dead vampires . It can become a Moroi, if time feeding kill their breadwinner. Or if a dead vampire drink almost "to the bottom" blood Moreau, Dampier or person, and then give her a drink. This process is called awakening of Strigoi. Dead vampires are immortal, and therefore a great temptation for people dhampir and Moroi have eternal life and great strength. However Strigoi afraid of the sun, because it kills them. And can not penetrate those areas, which are protected by Moroi magic. In appearance Strigoi skin as white as chalk and pupils of the eyes they are red.
Alchemists - people dedicated to the mystery of vampire existence. These people always cover up the traces of life Moroi, Strigoi and a dhampir. Consider all three races of the representatives of evil and are afraid of them, but they continue to work together to ordinary people do not know about the opportunity to receive immortality and power. Alchemists noted a tattoo on the cheek in the form of golden lilies. The tattoo is on vampire blood and other components that help alchemists do not get sick.
The history of "Vampire Academy" begins with the fact that Rose and Lissa are caught after escaping from the Academy of St. Vladimir. After returning to the academy, making up for missed classes Rose and Lissa restore its credibility. I think there is no need to remind about the hostile attitude of Mia Rinaldi to Lisse. Mia met with his elder brother Vasilisa and he threw it played enough. I also want to remind you that Rose is "kissed darkness." Riddle of this phenomenon lies in the fact that when Rose and Lissa's family had an accident, Lissa took advantage of the power of the spirit and Rose returned to life, when she was on the verge of death. And since then, Rose can penetrate into the thoughts of Lissa and see the world through her eyes, and feel everything that happens with Vasilisa. It is based on this connection, Rosa for the entire series of books always knew what was going on with Lissa and could come to her rescue. Whether it's stealing Vasilisa Viktorom Dashkovym for permanent therapeutic effect on him. Or when Rosa went to Russia to pay their last respects to the beloved - Dmitry Belikov and fulfill the promise given to him. Then, near Lissa appeared suspicious girl who is trying to pretend to be a friend, I tried to kill Vasilisa. The whole series is very rich in events. In the story a few lines that are tightly woven into a single coil, giving us a clear picture of what is happening.
- This love line Roses and Dmitry and trials that we see throughout all six volumes.
- This line relationship Vasilisa and Christian, who have always been at the front of the royal court, and almost became victims of royal manipulation.
- This exciting intrigue in the royal court, where there is a struggle for power. And until recently, I do not know who could have committed the murder of the queen. I, frankly, was shocked when she found out.
- This development of friendly relations. Moreover, the tragic circumstances pushed for the most incredible actions.
In "Vampire Academy," a lot of different facets of real life, woven into the fiction. However, this "reality" very responsive during the reading of books. For example, the complex relationship between Rosa and her mother, who was one of the best guards. Or the relationship between the mentor and mentor, in love with each other, but to understand the consequences of their relationship and hiding their feelings from time to time. You can trace the tying friendships both in the hothouse environment Academy, and in extreme conditions abroad. A sort of school life. However, there are also extreme. How can you kill your loved one, looking into his eyes, even if he was a monster? How to keep yourself in hand, when someone intentionally cuts the entire royal family, destroying the pretenders to the throne one after the other?How can you not intervene when Dmitry sister standing on the edge of a precipice and can suddenly break down your life? What will you do if your eyes Strigoi wring the neck to your best friend, tried to save you? And then this one will be a ghost and tag along until it's his time to disappear ... But he will do the trick.
In the book, a lot of things from which the blood run cold in his veins. From which it does not happen on its own. And by the way, if you compare krovodazhnost books about owls in a series of "Night Watch", written by Kathryn Lasky in "Vampire Academy" , the least understood and violence during a fight with Strigoi gory details is not so much that I really liked . Although the vampire written for teenagers, but the night watch - for children. So, information for thought. What I want to say at the end of my epic series of books about vampires? I was pleased reading this series. And to be honest - not knowing about the existence of the second series, I realized that there is a sequel. It should be. Because I was all clear with Adrian Ivashkova. I literally fell in love with this character. And she wanted to know about his life as much as possible.No wonder they say that the bad guys like a girl more often. But who said that he is bad? The way in which he wanted to be seen - does not mean anything. And I was sure when otkapal series "Blood Ties". But of this series, we'll talk with you.
As for the "Vampire Academy", I do not think this book "pink snot" , although sometimes a feeling arises when the passions subsided. However, little respite here. And if you read fast, you will not notice them. Cons ... No it from books.
Translation is a very good . Stylistic errors, I did not seem to notice. It sets out a whole lot of simple and accessible language. There is a place for humor and to mourn.You can certainly find fault. But this goal was not, because I just wanted to enjoy that story that described Raychel Mid. And do not look for flaws in its work.
My unequivocal opinion about the series "Vampire Academy" - read . Although anyone of these books, especially the first that may seem tedious. But I had no time to get bored. For sim I bowed and thank you for your attention!And if you think I wrote a spoiler for the series, uh ... you're not even a quarter of the content, just think so;)PS Books enjoyed in electronic form, so the photo - screens cover e-books. Two final book of the series in my txt format, so the photo was borrowed from other sources, the addresses of which are under .
