Vampire Academy: A Graphic Novel

---

I wasn't personally a huge fan of the books, so that may have tainted my feelings for this. But I doubt it However, if you've read the Vampire Academy series and you find yourself yearning for more from this world Mar 21, AleJandra rated it it was ok Shelves: Jan 25, Melissa rated it really liked it Shelves: So I was super excited when I finally decided to read this graphic novel!

It was like having a recap of the actual book. So this graphic novel was perfect for me! Like really really beautiful. Dimitri and Rose are so beautiful! I mean, judge for yourself: I cannot wait to read the next one! Is it just me or did Dimitri look like a 40 year old cartoon porn star? Not loved as much as the original books, obviously.

I actually was afraid I may have cartoonish dreams. View all 7 comments. So this was my very first graphic novel I have ever read, and I have already read Vampire Academy I have to say in actually shocked on how much I enjoyed it, it follows the story line, it's a lot easier to read then I thought it would be, and I love how quick and easy it was to read while getting to experience the story all over again just in a faster pace.

I enjoyed the illustrations, they were a lot better then what I was expecting. I look forward to starting frostbite here as soon as I'm do So this was my very first graphic novel I have ever read, and I have already read Vampire Academy I look forward to starting frostbite here as soon as I'm done with this review Aug 22, Praiz Sophyronja rated it it was ok Shelves: Every guy looks like a female. Could have done so much with the Rose-Lissa connection, bond thing. I really do hate to see the potential being so wasted. I had higher expectations, because the actual books were good.

La da da da, something something I finished it anyway. I don't know if it is telling, but I don't feel like writing a whole, proper review. Just know it was crap. Don't buy this, read the actual book. Jan 06, April Aprilius Maximus rated it liked it Shelves: Mar 10, Yvonne bookishpanda rated it really liked it Shelves: This is my second Graphic Novel to read! Before that I only read the first 2 "books" of The Walking Dead but absolutely loved them. Vampire Academy is a series very dear to my heart and therefore I just couldn't resist and had to get the Graphic Novel as well! Graphic Novels are such fast reads and because I wanted to be on track with my Goodreads challenge I thought I should finally pick it up!

It's a great revision and made me remember the book very good. Ohhh, and I This is my second Graphic Novel to read! Ohhh, and I absolutely adored the drawings! I didn't like Lissa a lot but Rose and Dimitri look both really, really hot! Of course it's not as detailed as the book itself but I still think they did a pretty good job at summarizing everything.

It's lovely to look at, very interesting to read and definitely a great addition to my Vampire Academy collection. I'm really looking forward to starting Frostbite. The TWD graphic novels are a lot more expensive. Sep 16, Stacia the club rated it really liked it Shelves: Obviously this is a condensed version of the full-length novel. I enjoyed it for what it was, and was digging on most of characters in picture form, especially Rose and Dimitri because I felt like they were drawn very close to the author's description.

Lissa, Mason and Mia all fell short by a mile, but who cares when they got Rose and Dimitri right? Even though I had fun breezing through this fast read, I wouldn't recommend it to anyone who hasn't read the book first. Most of the main book points Obviously this is a condensed version of the full-length novel.

Most of the main book points and favorite lines were included including one very hot lust charm scene If I hadn't already known what was going on, I might have become easily confused at how one scene ran into another, often without much to tie them together. I'd give this a big thumbs up for fans of the series who can't get enough.

I'll be purchasing the second book when it's available, curious for a glimpse of Adrian. Are you a fan of Richelle Mead?

Vampire Academy: The Graphic Novel

But if you haven't already read the novel then I don't think the story would make sense I have read this entire series twice so for me, enjoyable experience: Jan 10, Alice Rachel rated it it was amazing. This book was really entertaining and original and I really loved the art. Feb 06, Sofia Lazaridou rated it really liked it Shelves: I had to make that clear. I am not sure about my feelings for the Graphic novel though. The cut out half the lipgloss scene: If you have read the books you know what I am talking about. The one where Dimka gives to Roza Victor's necklace and then a lip gloss he bought for her because the one she had was running empty.

I love that scene! I made realise how sweet Dimka can be and how much he actually cares for her. The other thing I did not liked is they way the characters looked and especi I love VA. The other thing I did not liked is they way the characters looked and especially Dimitri. Maybe it was because I had a different image in my mind or because they can not be drawed perfectly.

The story prety much stays the same as I already and maybe you knew. I still though turned every page eargerly waiting what was going to happen next. Only the most important events were transfered in this book and I was happy reliving it. It took me less than 1 to 2 hours to finish it and that made me think that the graphic novel is the best way someone can find to see what's going on with the VA books if he wants to see the movie but not read the books.

Sep 28, Sharon Mariampillai rated it it was amazing Shelves: This was an awesome read.

It is cool to see how the illustrator drew each character and scenario. It was a great recap of the first book. I love Rose and Dimitri. I still have a little bit of annoyance for Lissa. Overall, a funny read that made me remember why I loved the series so much. Great start to the Graphic Novel series.

I really like it. The art work was great and it was in colour but I feel like it was all over the place. If someone did not read the novel Vampire academy first before reading this, they be lost and would not understand what going on. It was a nice refresh to VA world without reading the book but not going pick up the other ones. Feb 19, Dianne rated it really liked it. Even though this is a teen series, I found it to be pretty, ummm However, I loved the whole series.

I pretty much devoured them!

Jul 09, Anndy rated it really liked it Shelves: Dec 30, Sad Sunday If I say it's bad, it's bad rated it liked it. Didn't like the artwork much eyes of the characters were way too small , but I guess it's good for the fans to have a comic of beloved series.

Goodreads Summary After two years on the run, best friends Rose and Lissa are caught and returned to St. The entire first Vampire Academy novel has been adapted for book one by Leigh Dragoon and overseen by Richelle Mead, while the beautiful art of acclaimed British illustrator Em Goodreads Summary After two years on the run, best friends Rose and Lissa are caught and returned to St. My Thoughts So this graphic is pretty much perfect. Pretty much, meaning that I'd change the pace to something much slower since the story is pretty quick.

Then again it is a graphic and can't be as long as the novel itself. The characters seemed very true to themselves and were fabulously drawn. That is except Lissa. I hate how pale she seemed! So what if she's a vampire?! She's supposed to be super-model glamorous and Lissa just wasn't and neither was Christian. They were alright and a far cry from the hotness described in the books, I was kind of disappointed. Also Rose's eyes were tiny! I loved how her figure was drawn - perfect to my imagination - but her eyes were miniscule peas.

How could the fabulous artists of this ultra-cool graphic capture sumptuous curves and fail at eyes?? Man, it still puzzles me. Ladies, if any of you are even mildly as creepy as me when it comes to their fictional crushes and visualizing them and if Dimitri Belikov happens to be near the top of that list?

This book is so for you. Wow, he was beautiful Oh, there it is! Haha, so while every book has its weaknesses, it also has its own major plus points.

The important thing, is that the positives by far outweigh the negatives. Luckily, this is very much the case! Beware of that steamy half-naked scene, but otherwise this one isn't a V. Jul 30, Leena rated it really liked it. 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 Beli Rating: 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. And the art was beautiful! Hats off to the illustrator.
