Frostbite Graphic Novel Review

Author: Richelle Mead

Series: Vampire Academy Graphic Novel's

Adapted by: Leigh Dragoon

Illustrated by: Emma Vieceli

Star Rating: Five stars

Frostbite is the second graphic novel to be adapted from the Vampire Academy Series. If you have not read the actual book series. I recommend that you do. There is so much more in the books that you just are not able to put into a graphic novel.

The story of this book/graphic novel is someone is picking of the royal families one at a time. The strigoi (the bad vampire's that kill human's moroi and dhampir's to gain strength) are using the unexpected to achieve this. We run into love, anger, loss, and unexpected achievement's.

In this we meet new character's.

Janine Hathaway: Rose Hathaway's mother and Guardian to one of the royal families.

Adrian Ivashkov: Lissa's cousin. Also has special abilities but if you have not read the books I will not mention what. (Also this is my favorite character in this entire series.)

Tasha Ozera: Christian's aunt and survivor of strigoi attack. (Later on in the series she plays a major role in the series.)

I loved that they were able to adapt this book into images so well without leaving out too much the important stuff. Though the ending still get's me every time. To see it in images other than my mind makes it more real in the imaginary world of VA.

I recommend reading this if you are a fan of the series. If you have not read it yet. Please read the books first starting with Vampire Academy. Then read the graphic novel's!
