Vampire Academy #1

awalnya baca vampire academy setelah diiming-imingi tokoh dimitri maka semangat juang saya luar biasa. tapi saat membacanya ternyata dimitri kok tidak se-WAH yang dibicarakan orang-orang. dari awal sebelum baca bukunya saya sudah membaca beberapa review tentang VA ini, dan memang bab-bab awal saya merasa sedikit bosan. tapi tunggu. dipertengahan (belum sampai dipertengahan) buku ini saya sudah mulai suka dengan VA (belum dengan dimitri) dan awalnya-seperti rose- saya juga lebih menyukai jesse yang kemudian dibuat merasa super menyesal karena pernah suka sama dia huh !

rosa sang dhampir yang cantik, berani dan ceroboh sangat berbeda dengan lissa sahabatnya yang seorang vampir bangsawan. lissa adalah tipikal pemeran utama cewek dalam sinetron-sinetron. cantik, baik hati, penyabar, setia kawan, rapuh, blablabla. dan saya benci dengan pemeran utama sinetron seperti itu ! walaupun belum sampai ke taraf itu sih untuk lissa.

bagian paling enjoy untuk dibaca ada di bab-bab terakhir VA. mulai menegangkan dan seru. setelah sampai di bab ini, saya baruuuuuu mengerti. baru mengerti kenapa semua orang tergila-gila dengan dimitri. sang dhampir ganteng 24 tahun yang menjadi mentor rosa. saya jatuh cinta dengan dimitri seketika setelah percakapannya dengan rosa

"The spell. Victor said you had to want me... to care about me... for it to work." When he didn't say anything, I tried to grip his shirt, but my fingers were too weak. "Did you? Did you want me?"
His words came out thickly. "Yes, Roza. I did want you. I still do. I wish... we could be together."
"Then why did you lie to me?"
We reached the clinic, and he managed to open the door while still holding me. As soon as he stepped inside, he began yelling for help.
"Why did you lie?" I murmured again.
Still holding me in his arms, he looked down at me. I could hear voices and footsteps getting closer.
"Because we can't be together."
"Because of the age thing, right?" I asked. "Because you're my mentor?"
His fingertip gently wiped away a tear that had escaped down my cheek. "That's part of it," he said. "But also... well, you and I will both be Lissa's gaurdians someday. I need to protect her at all cost. If a pack of Strogoi come, I need to throw my body between them and her."
I know that. Of course that's what you have to do." The black sparkles were dancing in front of my eyes again. I was fading out.
"No. If I let myself love you, I won't throw myself in front of her. I'll throw myself in front of you."
