As it was, I got about half way through before returning it to the library. It’s a well-written novel, characters are interesting (I really love Lissa and Christian especially) but I think I might have grown out of the vampire phase.<\/p>\n I might come back to this someday, finish up on it. Until done, I’m going to watch the movie, enjoy the art on tumblr and let my friends gush at me about the story.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" Vampire Academy by Richelle Mead St. Vladimir\u2019s Academy isn\u2019t just any boarding school\u2014it\u2019s a hidden place where vampires are educated in the ways of magic and half-human teens train to protect them.
