Or Vampire Court Politics

Spirit Bound (Vampire Academy, #5)

Book five of Richelle Mead's Vampire Academy series is Spirit Bound.

Dimitri gave Rose the ultimate choice. But she chose wrong...

After a long and heartbreaking journey to Dimitri's birthplace in Siberia, Rose Hathaway has finally returned to St. Vladimir's- and to her best friend, Lissa.  It is nearly graduation, and the girls can't wait for their real lives beyond the Academy's iron gates to begin. But Rose's heart still aches for Dimitri, and she knows he's out there, somewhere.

She failed to kill him when she had the chance. And now her worst fears about about to come true.  Dimitri has tasted her blood, and now he is hunting her.  And this time he won't rest until Rose joins him...

The Breakdown:
1. Mead out does herself in this book.  I think it is my favorite of the series so far. The plot has some great twist to it, and she does a great job of including all my favorite characters, whether good or bad. It is a great progression in the storyline she has established in the series.

2. So glad that Rose and Lissa are back together in this book.  Their friendship is so strong and the characters together are amazing to read, just seeing how well they understand each other is fantastic.

3. Love that the concept of Spirit magic continues to evolve in this book.  Mead does a great job in expanding the idea of the magic, and it does not seemed ridiculous the way she does it.  Rather it is a natural flow to it based on the early basics she laid out about the magic.

4. Like how Mead moves easily from high school life for Rose and Lissa to court life.  The court politics and society she establishes is amazing, and it leads to quite the dozy of a cliffhanger.  I can't wait to read the last book, Last Sacrifice, to see how everything turns out.
