I know, I know, I should've read the novel first but whatever.
So this was basically an adaptation of the vampire academy series and it was beautifully done. So the story is that Rose and Lissa run away from St. Vladimir's academy and they've been on the run for two years that is until they're found and taken back to the academy. There Rose must redeem herself by training to a guardian so that she can protect Lissa in the future. She gets paired up with a fellow guardian, Dimitri Belikov, who hesitantly becomes her mentor. But as time passes on the two begin to fall in love with each other. But They know that they can't be together. And if that wasn't enough to send Rose on emotional roller coaster, Lissa gets kidnapped by a royal leading the would be couple to race against time to save the moroi princess.

Overall this was a great graphic novel and I really enjoyed it. I thought that Dimitri and Rose would make a wonderful couple and I really feel for Lissa, but then again she does an amazing best friend to be there for her. My only complaint is that I wished some scenes were a little longer than they were. Oh! And the art was beautiful! Hats off to the illustrator.

If you are a fan of hot vampires and amazing friends go read this.
