For favourite secondary character, Mia. Because of how she goes from Book 1 Mia, who is a brat, to book 5 Mia, who will help break into archives withough asking any questions because if Rose is doing it there is probably a good reason.
Omg yes I adore Mia's character development so much!!! I wished we'd get to see some more of her tbh 😭 I will say that even if they messed with her a but in the show, it was good to see more of her there.

Unpopular Opinion: Frostbite (Spoiler)
Unpopular Opinion (You are allowed to hate me for it if you want):
Upon reading Frostbite (DPOV Version) and seeing how Dimitri blames himself for Masons death, i would like to point out that in my opinion, Mason wasnt completly innocent. Like, sure, Dimitri was the one who let the Information slip to Rose who told Mason, But Mason was the one who endangered his classmates by taking them to the cafe, Mason was the one that came back to the cave when Rose told him not to - he isnt fully innocent

So Vampire Academy premiered today on Peacock and, as someone who loves the books and recently reread them for this day, I'm pissed.
Spoiler warning here: books and tv series
They really threw the books out the window and it was a very bad decision.
1st, what is with the wannabe classic vampire style? Why do the royals dress like 19th century vampires when the girls literally talk about their clothes being for Target, Forever 21, and GAP. I think the movie did better with balancing the gothic building and modern clothes.
Saint Vladimir's is a damn castle. Full send, castle
Lissa and Rose start the series as seniors! As in, Lissa is a senior when her family dies.
Who TF is the 1st queen? Well, actually I know. The series starts with the queen before Tatiana.
On the topic of Tatiana, she is is her 20s and has ssx with Andre the night he dies!
Oh, and Andre is openly dating and planning to marry Mia...
Lissa has a coronation as head of the Dragomir family too
Before which, she has to learn to recite something in "old moroi" which is when she meets and starts getting along with Christian
Victor Dashkov doesn't look sick at all. He's literally supposed to be dying, which is why he kidnaps Lissa in the 1st book
Natalie, Victor Dashkov's daughter, doesn't exist!
But don't worry, Victor has 2 daughters now: Sonya Karp and Mia Ranaldi who is apparently a Karp now but still non-royal as the daughter of a royal moroi????
Lissa apparently doesn't know about her and Rose's psychic bond?
Lissa burns in sunlight (don't even get me started on this) instead of cutting
Lissa and Rose NEVER RUN AWAY
Meaning Lissa never feeds off Rose
Meaning the Psy Hounds don't attack them
Meaning Lissa still doesn't use her compulsion to live life
Meaning Dimitri never hunted them down! He just randomly appeared after Lissa's family died
Rose has an accent meaning she can't make fun of Dimitri by calling him "cheap foriegn labor" like she does in the book
Also, Demitri is Irish? So wtf is gonna happen when he gets turned strigoi and runs off? Will he not be a Russian Strigoi mob boss? What about his family is the dhampir village?
And Dimitri isn't even that attractive. Or tall. Or have a ponytail. Or wear his signature cowboy duster, which is the worst of it.
AND THEIR FUCKING DORMS Lissa and Rose live together in the Moroi dorms????
Then, Rose gets moved to the dhampir dorms that look like the barracks from Divergent. No walls. No dividers between beds. Nothing!
And the moroi dorms are huge and the windows aren't tinted which is ridiculous considering they decided the moroi can't be in the sunlight.
Mia and Lissa share a room, which sets it up for Mia to be planting the dead animals even though Sonya will definitely be the one turning strigoi to help Victor.
If they're roommate and Mia's dad ks Victor, there's no way they get the severe rivalry of the books.
And wtf is with the Dhampir rankings thing? Is Meridith going to be important now? She was mentioned, like, once in the books.
Holy fuck! I almost forgot the weird feeder thing! The feeders aren't in private cubicles by the dining hall, they're in the basement in one big room with red velvet couches and, once again, no dividers between people. And the feeding scenes are fucking weird.
Y'all, I haven't even finished the pilot. It's so much different from the books that it could almost be it's own thing.
