#vampire academy: frostbite

[themelrosetwins]

I just finished rereading Frostbite, and I've been noting down events to construct a timeline, so going purely by the events in the book, I can confidently say that Mason was most likely killed on December 31st. The days when they were captured are a bit fuzzy but I'm fairly sure it's either December 31st or January 1st.

#and yeah i cried 😔 #frostbite spoilers #for anyone who has only seen the show #but idk why youd be following me lol i only post about sydrian usually #frostbite #mason ashford #vampire academy: frostbite

Okay so I started reading Frostbite (I literally started the first book 2 days ago lol) and oh my God someone please check in on my girl Rose.

Homegirl is literally on the verge of a meltdown and literally not one person is thinking to just like give her a hug. It's so fucking sad that she's like "I just want someone to comfort me" and is so desperate for anyone to just listen to her.

#she's my precious baby #I'm going in the book to hug her #vampire academy #rose hathaway #dimitri belikov #lissa dragomir #frostbite

“Hey, little dhampir.”

Startled, I realized someone was indeed standing on the porch. A guy - a moroi- leaned against the wall not far from the door. He brought a cigarette up to his mouth, took a long drag, and then dropped it to the floor. He stamped the butt out and crooked a smile. That was the scent, I realize. Clove cigarettes.

Warily, I stopped and crossed my arms as I took him in. He was a little shorter than Dimitri but wasn't as lanky as some Moroi guys ended up looking. A long, charcoal coat - probably made out of some insanely expensive cashmere-wool blend- fit his body exceptionally well, and the leather dress shoes he wore indicated more money still. He has brown hair that looked like it had been purposely styled to appear a little unkempt, and his eyes were either blue or green - I didn't have quite enough light to know for sure. His face was cute, I supposed, and I pegged him to be a couple years older than me. He looked like he’d just come from a dinner party.

“Yeah?” I asked.

His eyes swept over my body. I was used to attention from Moroi guys. It just usually wasn't so obvious. And I usually wasn't bundled up in winter clothing and sporting a black eye.

He shrugged. “Just saying hi, that’s all.”

You can't force love, I realized. It's there or it isn't. If it's not there, you've got to be able to admit it. If it is there, you've got to do whatever it takes to protect the ones you love.

1:  An Introduction to The Vampire Academy Universe and Its Characters.

The first instalment of what would be known as a game changer within the genre of vampire fiction, Vampire Academy was released on 16 August 2007 and received good reviews, even being placed on the New York Times best sellers top ten in the children's division and placed along the likes of Stephenie Meyer’s Eclipse, the Harry Potter series in ALA’s teen top ten.  It features a  later 5 books and another 6 book series, Bloodlines, as well as a movie adaptation in 2014  featuring faces like Zoey Deutch (Harper in ‘Set it Up’ or Danni Sanders in ‘Not Okay’), Sarah Hyland (Haley Dunphy in ‘Modern Family’) and Dominic Sherwood (Jace Wayland in ‘Shadowhunters’). More recently a TV adaptation was released in 2022 featuring Sisi Stringer, Kieron Moore and Daniella Nieves as our main three.

The first book in the series introduces us to the main cast of characters: Rosemarie ‘Rose’ Hathaway and Vasilissa ‘ Lissa’ Dragomir, a pair of best friends who have been on the run for two years after running away from their prestigious european-esque highschool, St Vladimir’s; Dimitri Belikov, a stoic Siberian guardian who is placed in charge of Lissa upon her return he is also Rose’s love interest; and Christian Ozera, a traumatised bad boy with parental trauma and fighting spirit who serves as Lissa’s love interest. In the later books we are introduced to new characters such as: Adrian Ivashkov, a rebellious spoilt prince with a slight substance abuse problem; Sydney Sage, a vampire hating alchemist with a strong moral compass; finally, we also get familiar with a pre known character. Mia Rinaldi, a spoiled little girl turned fighter.

The book primarily take place in St Vladimir’s Academy, a school for the two main vampire species in this universe: the Moroi supposedly represent all that is good, they are vampires with elemental powers and their own running society where they are in full control; 

“There are also good vampires walking the world. They’re called Moroi.

They’re alive, and they possess the incredibly cool power to wield magic in

each of the four elements— earth, air, water, and fire. [...]  but the Moroi strongly believe magic should only be used peacefully. It’s one of the biggest rules in their society. Moroi are also usually tall and slim, and they can’t handle a lot of sunlight. But they do have superhuman senses that make up for it: sight, smell, and hearing.”

Frostbite, Prologue, page 1.

The Dhampirs are half-vampires with superish human strength and speed, they serve as guardians for the Moroi as they can only procreate with Moroi meaning they are crucial to the survival of the Dhampir race;

“Dhampir.

That’s what I am. Dhampirs are half-human, half-Moroi. I like to think

We got the best traits of both races. I’m strong and sturdy, like humans are. I

can also go out in the sun as much as I want. But, like the Moroi, I have

really good senses and fast reflexes. The result is that dhampirs make the

ultimate bodyguards—which is what most of us are. We’re called

Guardians.”

“Dhampirs can’t have children with other dhampirs. [...] Humans and Moroi

getting together will always make more dhampirs; that’s where we came

from the first place. [...] Through another weird genetic fluke,

however, Moroi and dhampirs mixing will create dhampir children. [...] You’d think you’d get a baby that’s three-quarters vampire, right? Nope. Half human, half Moroi.”

Frostbite, Prologue, page 2.

St Vladimir’s teaches both young Moroi on how to use their elemental abilities and trains novice  Dhampir in both physical and theory lessons spread across a day opposite to a regular (at night instead of day, 6pm = 6am). 

The third and final vampire race are the Strigoi, a race of blood hungry, moral-less monsters who hunt mainly Moroi and can turn any other race into Strigoi. Turning Strigoi of your own free will is considered one of the greatest crimes in their society;

“There’s a race of vampires on this earth who are literally the walking

dead. They’re called Strigoi, and if you’re not already having nightmares

about them, you should be. They’re strong, they’re fast, and they kill

without mercy or hesitation. They’re immortal, too—which kind of makes

them a bitch to destroy. There are only three ways to do it: a silver stake

through the heart, decapitation, and setting them on fire. None of those is

easy to pull off, but it’s better than having no options at all.”

Frostbite, Prologue, page 1.

The Royal Court of Moroi order is the official government of the vampire races. The courts themselves are located in a secluded area of Pennsylvania. The Royal Court is where all laws are passed and where the King or Queen resides. Whilst the courts do run on a monarchical system, it is a rotating circle of 12 royal families who nominate somebody to be put through a series of trials in order to be made King or Queen ending in a final vote by the families. The family which just ruled cannot rule again and in order to be nominated you must have at least one other family member, this isn’t a problem for most families due to them generally being very large with a central ‘main’ family such as the Zeklos family but there are other much smaller ones like the Dragomirs where this becomes a problem. It is known that Court, although intended for many serious purposes, is also a great recreational location, housing many residential areas, shops, restaurants, and much more. It is more of a central city for Moroi who generally live on the outskirts of human society, a capital city if you will. 

The next instalment will be about the 2014 movie: The Movie; Good as an Individual and an Adaptation?

Thank you so much for reading this,

[amomentsmadness]

right if i’m being honest i’ve only watched the first three episodes so far but i am really not liking Vampire Academy. my issue is definitey that i can’t detach myself from the books but it just seems like they’re missing out so many storylines and trying to jump to other ones too soon. on top of that i don’t like the way they’ve done rose and masons relationship !!!!

[fromevertonow]

Storylines from the other books that they used in just the first season of VA (or the first four eps at least)🫡:

Frostbite: literally everything, except that they went to the ski resort, but they got the whole Janine thing plus the black eye, the rising fear in Strigoi attacks among the Moroi, I bet my ass they’re gonna include the outing to hunt Strigoi too. They already got too close with Mason going after Christian, but this bts pic makes me nervous:

They’re literally the same people that got out of the wards (except for Meredith and I can’t tell if Mia’s among them) so I’m scared okay. But there’s basically no plot left anymore from this book… it’s all used up? Wtf? Adrian’s also getting introduced later on, so what’s the point of a season two?

Shadow Kiss: the benchmarks… I’m just really disappointed with how they handled that. They also included the Strigoi managing to break the wards by working together.

Blood Promise: nice little foreshadowing to Dimitri there during the attack in the chapel

Spirit Bound: the age thing of the guardians + kind of that conversation Rose had with the queen, a small variation of it

Last Sacrifice: Lissa’s whole becoming queen + the quorum thing… this is literally the final book in the series and they’re using half of its plot in the first fucking season of the series… I think we can all agree how ridiculous that is, right?

This just shows how incredibly fast they’re going. They’re focusing more on the plot than they do on character development and relationships and it shows. They’re handing everything to us without us having to actually long for it… I’m not really excited for Romitri as I was in the books. Christian and Rose have lost a lot of their snark. By grabbing so many huge plot points from other books, they lose the characterization that was such a big focus in the books too. It was one of my favorite things in fact to see how Rose slowly learns to be responsible, how Lissa fights her inner demons (albeit from Rose’s perspective). Now it’s all just politics and even though I love that in fantasy stories, this is not balanced at all. It’s 90% plot, 10% characterization if not less.
