The final exams are set to start in a short time and she resolves to stay focused and pass them to the best of her abilities and hope it will be enough for her to get assigned to Lissa. The book starts off with Rose reading the last in a series of love letters/death threats from Dimitri. She believes that there may be one way to change him back, but she may have to put everything at risk to find out. However, Dimitri has survived against all odds and now seeks Rose's death. Vladimir's and has been reentered student life. Īfter a long and taxing journey to Dimitri's birthplace in Siberia, Rose Hathaway has finally returned to St. Its release also pushed the Vampire Academy series into the #1 slot on the New York Times list for children's series. In its opening week, Spirit Bound debuted at #1 on The Wall Street Journal's hardcover fiction list and #1 on the USA Today bestseller list, which covers all books of all genres together in one list. I hope we get to see Rose and Dimitri's marriage someday, perhaps in the Bloodlines series or in another short story.Spirit Bound is the fifth book in the Vampire Academy series by Richelle Mead. I really like this change about them, and it has shown how much Rose had grown. When they are strategizing a plan, Dimitri no longer talks to Rose like she was his student, but now as his equal and partner. Rose is lucky Dimitri is not settling down in Russia.Īfter all the things they went through, you can now see an obvious change in the interaction between Dimitri and Rose. Rose argued with every prediction Yeva made, and claim that Yeva had no real predicting powers and are just saying cryptic things that can be interpreted in millions of ways. Rose relationship with Dimitri's mother was okay, but Rose and his grandmother's, Yeva's relationship seemed a lot like those mother-in-law/daughter-in-law relationships that argued a lot every day for the heck of it. Yeva did predict a marriage coming, but all I see till now is Sonya and Mikhail's. Rose insisted on not marrying until her age starts with a 2. He was about 24, so it was not weird if he got married, but Rose could not get over that since her age is just 18. It was quite romantic, since Dimitri dropped hints about wanting to marry Rose quite a few times. I had wondered if Rose and Dimitri had gone back to Russia to his family at the end of the series, and now I know. What they did not expect was a mission to kill a Strigoi called the Blood King, that had been terrorizing the humans in the small town. They expected a lot of commotion, a party bigger than the memorial of his death, and lots of hard questions about his time as a Strigoi.

His family needed to see that he is no longer a Strigoi.

After Lissa was crowned Queen and everything had settled, Rose and Dimitri took a week-long holiday to go back to his family in Siberia.
