This book was awesome! SPOILERS!!! Queen Tatiana has been murdered and the people blame Rose! Now Rose and Demitri (who is no longer strigori) are on the run, Lisa is running for queen, and a murderer is running loose around the palace. To make matters worse, Rose has to look for Lisa's long lost relative, and she still has to sort out her feelings about Demitri.

I haven't left reviews for the last 4 books, cause I thought that it would be pointless. Anyways, I loved this series. Except I was kind of disappointed that Rose ended up with Demetri in the end. I thought her and Adrian made a good couple. That made me kind of mad and I just felt bad for Adrian. I know it's strange to feel for a fictional character in a book or movie, but I do. But other than that, it was amazing. I am so glad I read the entire series.

***MAY CONTAIN SPOILERS*** As much as I loved this whole series, The Last Sacrifice was not my favorite book. I started reading this about a month and a half ago and picked it up now and then, just finishing the last 200 or so pages in the last few days. This book dragged for me. I would read about 40 pages, put it down for a few weeks and then know exactly what was going on when I picked it up. I found the whole thing to be boring and predictable: - Lissa was nominated to become queen … It was only inevitable that she would actually become queen. - Lissa needed another family member in order to become queen … Naturally, Rose and her entourage found Jill – and it was no problem at all. Why is it that it took their group no time at all to find out that Jill was a Dragomir? Wouldn’t anyone else catch on at some point? - Viktor is killed and no longer a threat. Rose was upset about it but definitely got over it fast. A few things irritated me, though. First and foremost, the treatment of Adrian. I loved Adrian. Ever since he and Rose hooked up, I was rooting for him. But then, Rose is alone with Dimitri and every single touch, look, smell that comes from him drives Rose crazy with lust. Eventually, she decides that she has to be with Dimitri and not Adrian. Heaven forbid she tells Adrian – she might need him for something later. What garbage that was!! Bad move, Mead – I was rolling my eyes every time Rose swooned over Dimitri … Why couldn’t they both move on without each other? Why hurt Adrian? And is it just me, or is Rose really annoying about the whole “sex” issue with her and Dimitri? Isn’t it a little stalker-ish to have sex once and then claim to be soul mates with the guy? And what’s with it always being referred to as having sex? Why not making love or something? And what happened to Sydney? To Robert? To the Keepers? Supposedly, there will be a spin-off series featuring Sydney, Eddie, Jill, and Adrian. I don’t think I’ll be reading these ones … I would hate to see Adrian hurt more. Despite all the predictable and boring parts, and the parts I just didn’t like, the book wasn’t bad … There was some decent action (not enough, but some), and the process of Lissa becoming queen was pretty good, especially with her tests. Her character really grew up in this book. I just wish Rose would have grown up as well.

I picked up all the books in the Vampire Academy series when Chapters had their "Buy 3 get 1 Free" sale. I wish I had discovered this series earlier...I just thought it would be another lame vampire series....but to my surprise it wasn't. The first book hooked me to the point where it was finished within hours. I finished the whole series in little over a week. I even brought the books to school to read in between classes...which I NEVER do. If you're looking for a good series to kill some time with, this is definitely a good one. Random Thoughts: -great characters...Rose and Demetri's relationship is hilarious. -there's 6 books in the series, which is enough. Yet the author decided to start some sort of spin-off series based on another character (Bloodlines). I'm not a fan of when authors do this. It's overkill. -The covers aren't horrible, I just wish they wouldn't put faces on them. It's one of the reasons I didn't want to read the books in the first place...they looked lame.

I just love the vampire academy series so much. my only complaint would be that the series is sadly ending so i will have to shopping for a new one now; or at least until bloodlines comes out. I was thoroughly impressed with the way the that Richelle ended the series. She did it with mystery; intrigue and most of all with justice. It felt satisfying to find the ending was perfect. I am currently reading through the books again; but in french this. I am enjoying all the nostalgia i feel as i read the pages. I totally recommend this book to any vampire appreciator.

All of the very Vampire Academy books (by Richelle Mead) are amazing. The books are intresting, I found the more I read the more hooked I was. They will leave you hooked and wanting more. If you like or love the Twilight saga by Stephine Meyer you will love the Vampire Academy series.I finished all six books in about four to five days. It takes alot to hook me on one book nevermind six, so I don't think it would take alot for anyone to get hooked on them.

This book gave me so many mix emotions. I cried, I laugh, I was scared, I was hoping for so many thing but... Anyway, The impossible love story, the action, the heart breaking stuff ... so much happening and so much emotions coming out of me. This is unfortunately the last book of the series and I wish it would have continue but at lease it finish pretty well. This is an amazing book and probably my favorite book of this series. Way to go VA . Enjoy!

You know how you shouldn't judge a book by its cover? Well, that saying should definitely apply to the Vampire Academy series. None of the covers are particularly spectacular but I must say that the one for Last Sacrifice is my least favourite. I thought it was a joke when I first saw it... not that the covers are really important in this case because this series is just so popular that it wouldn't really stop too many people anymore from reading the novel. The amazing story Richelle Mead has created within definitely makes up for it in any case! I thought Richelle Mead did a wonderful job wrapping up the Vampire Academy series! There has always been tons of action and suspense to expect, and while there was more political maneuvering in this novel, it still left me anxious to find out what would happen next. There weren't too many surprises with the ending since I kind of figured it couldn't end without some happiness and a sense of relief for the characters, but the only exception was trying to solve the mystery of Queen Tatiana's murder. I had absolutely no clue until the answer was right in front of my eyes, after which point, I was left stunned and speechless! I have been Team Adrian since the moment we met him in book two and I've never wavered in my support of him, no matter if he ended with Rose or not. I just don't think I've ever been able to get over the 7-year difference between Rose and Dimitri, and how he was her teacher and all that, not matter how kind he was, how well he could fight or how his personality was so in tune with Rose's a lot of times. No, sadly, Dimitri and I have never truly connected but I absolutely adore Adrian! I had a feeling who Rose would inevitably decide her heart belonged to though and I could understand her choice completely without feeling too bitter. While I'm sad to say goodbye to Rose and Lissa's story of friendship and the endless trouble they always seemed to find themselves in... I think after six novels, it was time to see an end. I've been a fan from the very beginning and I would have hated to see the storyline stretched to its very limits. So for me, I did think it was a fitting conclusion. And I'm perfectly happy knowing that we have the spin-off series to look forward to beginning this August with the release of Bloodlines and the return of some characters! Should be exciting, right?

This was an amazing series! One of the best that I've read, besides Twilight. This book wasn't my favourite but it still was amazing. There was so much drama and action involved. The grand escape and trying to figure out who the murderer was! In the end love always conquers all, but sometimes it takes baby steps to get there. One thing I don't like about this book was that there were so many characters (that was fine) but the author didn't elaborate what happened to them. She just.. left them. Other than that, It was the best!

As much as I'd like to rant and rave about the things that happened in this book, I will refrain from spoiling anything for anyone who has yet to read this book. Given that, I hope you've read the previous books in the series, or else, avert your eyes! Last we saw Rose, she'd been imprisoned for the murder of Moroi Queen Tatiana. The consequence could only be execution, and she sits in a jail cell, not fearing her death, but despising the manner of death. As a guardian, she always saw herself dying in battle, protecting those she loved most. She can't even draw solace from her love, Dmitri, because after having been healed by Lissa, he refuses contact with her, overwhelmed with guilt about his Strigoi actions and feeling he is incapable of any love she has to give him. Rose's friends scramble to prove her innocence and in turn try to find the real murderer. Course, that takes time, time Rose doesn't have. Cue the action! Explosions! There are some pretty big revelations in this book and you really get to see how the characters mature and step up for their responsibilities and actions. Dmitri and Rose, while not a couple, really delve into what their relationship was before he turned Strigoi and if they can forgive themselves and move on. To be honest, Rose and Dmitri scenes are the best. They could be standing around yet you know that there's so much more going on beneath the surface and having Rose's analysis on those feelings makes you care for them all the more. The identity of the murderer leaves you clueless until the end and in between there's plenty of fighting and court antics that will hold your attention. What really stuck most with me, though, was how Mead handled Rose's relationships with Dmitri and Adrian. I adored Adrian but I'm sure we all knew (hopefully) how this series would end, yet it didn't end neatly with a big bow. Relationships can be messy and painful and drama only adds fuel to the fire. I think this is a great end to the Vampire Academy series and Rose's adventures. While it didn't end happily for every character, nor can that be expected, it was enough that you could close the book with a sigh and eagerly anticipate Mead's next book Bloodlines, to see how the other characters are moving on and what has come from the major political change. Love this series, it's a must read! Review also here: http://allofeverythingforyou.blogspot.com/2011/02/review-last-sacrifice-by-richelle-mead.html
