Vampire Academy was super popular back in the day. Everyone was just raving about the series. The movie didn't really do the series justice. Richelle Mead seems like a terrific author. She's able to draw in a huge mass of readers to actively discuss about the series and their nature.
The way these books were 75% of my personality in high school
Can I just say, I loved this series so much as a kid. But, even back then I could recognize that the first two books weren’t as good as the rest of the series. Like the third book definitely picks up and then it goes from there. This book series legitimately set the standard for me. Like when I was a kid I would go to bookstores and ask for “action romance series”. 😂😂❤
If you like Nikolai from Shadow and Bone, there is a character like him in book 2 that spices things up and really starts the ball rolling
I love that man!! That's why I love Bloodlines sm!!
100% love Adrian Bloodlines best spinoff
I loved him so much but I hate the way they ended his character in the last book
@@anisaafsar4528 YES BUT BLOODLINES MAKES THING BETTER
Adrian's mid
It's actually really comforting when you talk about why you don't like something, especially when it's popular. I always feel like I have to like it or conform to it, even if I don't like it 'cause of the way I grew up. So it's nice and reassuring 🥰
I was obsessed with this series when I was a teenager. It’s so well written. I went through a tough time as a teen and I used to lock myself in my room and cry my eyes out at these books I stg. I feel so nostalgic watching this 🖤
My favorite series growing up! It honestly gets better the second book really was the game changer for me and from there I was hooked. She wrote amazing characters! The first book is honestly not my favorite. I’ve reread the series so many times and I always start with the second book only read the first book 1time. Glad you’re reacting to this!
I love vampire academy!!!! I read the books when I was like 15 and I still love them to this day! Though Bloodlines is a lot better this story will forever hold a special place in my heart. Also book 1 isn't the best it gets better with each book
P.S i'M OBSESSED WITH YOUR RED LIPSTICK
Agree with all of this, based my whole personality around Rose ngl
Can I just say your brown hair suits you so well chloe!!! You look absolutely stunning ✨❤️🔥
thank you sophia!! 🤍
Have to agree with your friend, the series really does pick up in later books. It's still one of my faves.
You being obsessed with the the vampire diaries it’s me being obsessed with the twilight movies 😂
I was OBSESSED with this series in high school, more than EIGHT years ago now lool… I would re-read it so much, I remember the series peaking at the 3rd or 4th book? Anyway, I’m sure I would probably not like it now…😂
Dmitri was HOW OLD?! WHAT…WHATTTT…
I loved the series when I was younger. Now at 24, there’s so many issues starting with Dimitri. I have not met another person who dislikes him as much as I do
I always thought it would be better if Lyssa and Rose fell in love. Imagine the drama of the princess falling in love with her guardian instead of the drama we get from Rose and Dimitri
FACTS that would've been so much better
EXACTLYYYYYYYY! that would be everything
Nahhhhh romitri and Lisa and Christian forever
@@divya6911 shush
Never thought of it but now I want it to be true so bad. It would be so good fr
i read those when i was a teenager and i fell in love with the series so quick
Love vampire diaries so much because of Kat Graham/Bonnie Bennett. She is literally the reason I stayed watching that show.
And I’m so glad someone has a similar opinion about vampire academy! I was like 🫠 throughout the first book.
This was my favorite series in middle school and high school! I remember being so excited when each new book was released. I enjoyed listening to your thoughts!!
the hair.. the makeup... the jewelry?? thank u chloe i'm living rn
I read the series back in high school and it was definitely what kicked off my love of vampires as well as my teenage reading. I re-read the series this year and honestly still had the best time. Although I can 100% see your criticisms and the writing definitely shows it's age a lot. The TV show has made some very odd and interesting changes to the plot line and that is part of what's keeping me watching. I want to see where they're heading with these changes and how deep into the book series plot line they're going to go. The show does feel fairly removed from the original story line but it's still keeping me intrigued, cringey as it may be hahah
When I decorate my room… I’m stealing your room vibes cuzzzzz it’s so pretty and I feel like I’d always be happy😭
The vampire academy serie has been my favourite serie for many years when I was 14/15 and it still has a special place in my heart today that I'm 19. I don't love the first book, in my opinion it's the worst in the serie, but already from book two it becomes way better, the plot gets more interesting and you start to see more characters characterization. I feel like in book one Richelle Mead's purpose was to introduce us this new world she creates from zero in these books, so for this reason she didn't focus much on the characters characterisation. I remember reading these books so fast, like I finished one book and I immediately started reading the following one, it was such a good time of my life!
My advice is to try to read at least the second book of the serie, and she what will be your thoughts after reading it. I loved these books so much omg❤️
VAMPIRE ACADEMY?? Oh my god oh my god. Why am I at work right now I need to watch this!!🎉
Vampire Academy is an amazing book and series
haven’t watched the video yet but you’re GLOWING 🤍 the lipstick shade in the beginning seems like it was made for you 💓
I read this series out of order back in high school (3, 2, 1, 4, 5, 6 was the order I read them) and I loved them at the time, but the last book angered me so much I refused to ever touch them again. The older I get the creepier Dimitri gets, and the more I can't imagine ever picking them up again. God, it would've been so much better gay tho.
That said, I hated Dimitri even when I was a teen (part of the reason I hated the last book) - so my perception of him has never been good lol
I have the same feeling as you, the 6th and final book ruined the whole series for me
SPOILER
I knew Rose and Dimitri will got back together, but not in the way they did (at the expense of Adrian), what angered me the most was when she had the talk with Adrian, she put herself as the victim...and Dimitri didn't even apologized to Adrian (he should have)...this book make/made me so angry...and the follow ups books written in Adrian's pov, Adrian and Dimitri worked together but there was no discussion between them...I prefer to forget I ever read this series.. thank you for having let me vent
I think it gets good in book two cuzza the ending yenno 😭💜
The first episode did not grab me but if u keep going I’m hooked now. I tune in every week.
this books series was my absolute fav when i was on high school, the series is so good but both the movie and the tv show are atrocities, i can't believe we can't get a decent adaptation lmao
About the compulsion, the eye thing wasn't really compulsion, the Moroi's eyes flash different colors if they're royal or non-royal. Compulsion shows up later on.
omg the books are pretty good, I read them like 2 years ago and thoroughly enjoyed them! still haven't gotten to bloodlines even though I have them! anyways i loved this!
The Klaus quote 😭
Ooooooooooo love videos comparing books and their shows like this ❤
I loved Vampire Academy as a teen but, absolutely hate it as an adult. Rose kept making dumb decisions and I don’t like how she treats other characters. But, I hope you end up enjoying it! ❤
I think penny said “ya I’m just gonna stay on the phone” 😂
It's nice to see that I'm not the only person who tried to read Vampire Academy and didn't really vibe with it at the time. I was deep into my vampire obsession in 2008-09 and consumed any vampire series I could get my hands on. I was genuinely surprised Vampire Academy couldn't keep my interest. A couple of my friends were obsessed with it! Might try the television series now.
since you didn't like the books you'll probably like the show. they gut the books and make them into trash. Julie plec specialty
Also the movie WAS horrendous but it's made to be funny/vampire satire. The cringe was obviously intentional and it is a good watch!
please tell me i'm not the only one whos eyes teared up when i saw the klaus quote
that klaus quote is everything 🖤
You always have such stunning aesthetics Chloe🫶🏽
You should read book 2 cuz ✨Adrian✨
VA & Bloodlines was my life like 7 years ago. Been wanting to do a reread. So maybe no is the time.
I’m the odd one out though as I actually really enjoyed the movie and was so pissed they never continued with the rest of the series. It’s not the same as the book. Don’t get me wrong but I enjoy watching it a lot.
I’m very curious about the new show though. So after the reread I may need to see what’s up. 😬😬
New subscriber!! I found you bc of your TVD book video. I loveeeee TVD and literally will only watch the first 3 seasons just like you. I agreeee they’re elite to the rest of the series. Nothing beats the vibes of those seasons . Now I am loving the rest of your videos ❤️🖤❤️🔥
I literally just finished reading vampire academy so I’m so so excited for this video chloe bunny xx 🫶🏾🧛🏽♀️
Back when these books were popular the first books was never the best one... The series as a whole I think is were my own personal love is not a books specifically and if it were defiantly not the first one... Maybe blood promise though..... But I recommend to read at least frost bite, the story gets spicy. (Not in a smutty way but story line and plot way.) ❤❤❤💋
“Dddont. Don’t do it” 💀💀
I just got to that part, too funny 😂
Lool, before watching this video, I went and placed an order for the whole series - having that much confidence in a series that you haven’t read should be illegal 😂😂 I am 25-years-old (almost 26) but I remember watching the movie years ago and liking it and so I thought I’d try the books out. From the sample that I’ve read on kindle, it seems like an okay-ish read for some mere entertainment
It gets better after book 1, especially with the introduction of another certain male character. Just muscle through the first two books.
I’m sad you didn’t end up liking the book Chloe, but maybe you should give the new Interview with the Vampire series on FX a try for better vamp content! I think it premieres this weekend.
As a VA die-hard fan, why does YT keep recommending me videos about people not liking the books? The heck is wrong with the algorithm, I just spend 20mins watching someone hating on my favorite series ever that I'll never get back -.-
Love the vampire look 👀
omg I had watched the movie first so I finally picked up the book and it was SO GOOD ❤
omg chloe i love the crown!!!! 👑🌙idk if this was the intention but it's giving me such acotar vibesssss
The actor playing Dimitri is Irish so that’s why he sounded a bit weird to you, they were letting the actors use their natural accents.
an honest review
where is your Buffy shirt from ?! I LOVE!
Your earrings omg with the swords! So pretty! Where did you get them?
These books are some I judged by the cover. Early HS I went through the vampire phase because of Twilight, and I’d always eye these books but I hated the covers, so I didn’t read them 🤣I didn’t read them until 2014 around the time of the movie, and was completely obsessed!
oof, i own the 2014 movie on yt 💀 was obsessed back in the day as i hadn’t read the series haha STILL LOVE ZOEY DEUTCH THOUGH 🫶🏼
edit: right after watching this video, i watched Vampire Academy (2014) for the first time IN YEARS and I’d just like to confess that it was SO FUN, 10 out of 10, deserved the Oscar for Best Adapted Screenplay, i hadn’t realized it had so many actors i hadn’t recognized then but do now haha all jokes aside, it was a fun time with just the right amount of dated references and cringe, just how i like em🧍🏻♀️
I didn't read V.A. growing up but I read the whole series this month. It wasn't bad. I especially loved book 3, gave it 4stars. I didn't like the dimitri ship, but it was fun.
What I didn't like about the show adaptation was the way they took focus from Rose. All her badass moments were given to other characters.
I'm 8 days late but I just wanted to say that if you end deciding to read the whole series, to do it before you watch the show. At this point I'm not sure how many episodes you've seen already, but the show contains major spoilers for the later books in the series, because it's actually more based on the later books than the initial ones. There's a lot of plot points from book five and six that were mentioned in the first season already, and if you're someone who wants to read the books the show can really spoil that for you.
Books are EVEN more expensive in Canada!
NOSTALGIA
The first few books are 100% boring idek how I read them but end of 3rd book onwards I was HOOKED!!
Love the Buffy shirt
When I read the title I thought you were gonna watch vampire academy the film
I love Vampire Academy ❤️
Have you watched the original film??? I think that's amazing
Hi ya no I'm sticking with vampire diaries all the way
I don't know why people don't like the show. It's definitely one of the best adaptations recently. It's just really fun to watch.
Feel like the movie is already better😂
I’ve loved Vampire Academy. And the movie just wasn’t ENOUGH! Loved the music, Zoey Deutsch is fantastic, and it seemed like there would be another movie but I guess it didn’t do well? Which is bonkers.
I didn’t know there is a series now?! Have to look into this.
Vampire Diaries is on HBOMax too!
Okay, noted: watch Vampire Diaries ASAP
EXACTLY
I used to really enjoy Vampire Academy books but I dont think I would now 🤔
I’ve read all six books and don’t think it’s worth it
9:20 I think Penny said something like "yeah, just let me get this quickly out of my way" 😭 Also u hate Damon 😭😭😭😭
Where are you stickers from? 😍
redbubble!
I think if you watch the remake of Interview with a Vampire you might like it more lol
Please do book review of Shadow and bone series or dan brown books or elif shafak books ?
Stunning video as always!! And Chloe, I’m going to Fear Factory in Salt Lake City like you and Caitlyn did in New Zealand! I’m so scared, the address is actually 666!!!! And the place is legitimate haunted! My dad’s friend owns it and we hear all the stories. Anyway! Super irrelevant, but just wanted to let ya know! Love you!!!!
i luv your videos, are u gonna read vampire diaries ?
Is the series the same as the books?
I have always had a love-hate relationship with vampire books. I can't seem to find the perfect one. I think I read the first book for Vampire Academy, but nothing more. I have watched the movie a lot though. It's far from an Oscar-worthy performance, but I liked to watch it when I needed some fun brainless entertainment 😅 Might give the show a try, but it will most likely not be anything for me. As for Vampire Diaries, I loved the show, up until season 5. I have rewatched the first four seasons many times. Then I tried to read the first book, and I DNF'ed it. Probably too invested in the show and the characters at that point, but the book disappointed me. Speaking of books adapted into movies and films, I also had a bad history with Shadow Hunters. I was so mad at how they did the story in the show that I turned the TV off and had to go for a walk, because I love those books and the story in the show had me fuming 😅
Omg day made
does anyone know where the tiara is from?
which kindle do you have?
where did you get your buffy shirt from 7:00 👀💓
👍👍
I tried reading this a couple months ago and could not even get past the first couple chapters 😂 definitely not for me either
I'm not even surprised or disappointed that it's been canceled. I honestly did not like where and how the show went. I was waiting for a moment where I'd feel something. The book had me sobbing, cackling and despairing. In the show only the Andre twist made me happy. Lissa got back up in court. Oh no he's strigoi. Jk.
Dimitri was not Russian! (screw Putin. You mean there are no Russian actors in the west?) and i loathe the pronunciation of his name with the english R. Give me a rolling R damn it!!!
And Rose had sex with Mason while still in a complicated relationship with Dimitri. Hate that. She was way less likable because of that.
It wasn't enough story wise. And it was a different feel to have the actual characters "misrepresented". Like the essence of VA that made me love the story was gone.
The attempt to relate to the way the world is now, was bad. Cos the world now is happy with mediocrity, fucking around and hero complex syndrome. Yuck.
I don't care that it's been canceled at all. Has anyone watched the premiere? I watched it live.
I thought i was in the twilight zone. Not at all what I expected. I felt like I was watching a jubilee or buzz feed video devoid of any real substance or meaning.
The cast tried. But even they can't transcend that script/plot.
Can't believe even Wednesday glaringly outshines VA. And they didn't even have a hot vamp. They had an awkward bee boy. (Whom I like☺️)
Richelle Mead deserves an apology.
Where can you watch the series?
It’s on peacock and the first episode is free
Vampire academy is one of my favourite vampire series but I love the spin-off series bloodlines more plus the main characters from bloodlines are my favourite characters from the vampire academy world the first 2 vampire academy books would be the weakest in the series book 3 onwards the series is amazing
you might like the spin off more. vampire academy was just okay but in bloodlines the main character and the relationship and writing is way better
Is bloodlines mainly about Sydney? Or are rose and Dimitri still included
♥
Rose and Lissa’s relationship is like sisters. They only love each other as Sisters nothing more.
Love everything about the show 10/10 sorry not sorry
don't be sorry i'm happy you love it!
😍
I didn't get into TVD that much (I was more of a Twilight girl back then, and when I did watch TVD, I was more of a Stefan's girl than a Damon) but I did read Vampire Academy and I loved it back then. I didn't even seen the movie and I'm scared to watch the show. I've moved on to TTRPGs (table top role playing) and there is a game called vampire: the masquerade, and they do vampires MUCH better. highly recommend watching that (even though it's three hours long, do have it in podcast version) and also it's diverse, look up LA By Night and if you want, NY By Night on TH-cam. Also I do also reconmend Black Dagger Brotherhood by JR Ward (look up content warnings for these books), The Night Huntress series by Jeanine Frost, The Vampire Huntress series by LA Banks and I'm gonna read this soon, The Beautiful by Renee Ahdieh and Fledgling by Octavia Butler

I'm sorry - what? It's honestly disappointing to hear you say: "I don't know if he is British, but his British accent is not it"... Kieron Moore and the actor who plays Hardin are both British.
Also British does not equal English. Britain consists also of Scotland, Wales and Northern Ireland. And most of the British accents are actually much "rougher" sounding than your idea of British Accent is (the pretty polished hollywoody ver.). So what you are looking for, is maybe "english" accent. And honestly thats not even totally right, cause even in England this accent varies tremendously due to manyyyyy dialects.
Theres just something wrong with saying something like that about the way their speak. Poor acting? Yeah, totally agreeable. Saying that "his "british" accent is not it"? Not really a cool comment.
sorry i meant more so because he was described to have a russian accent
Even though I love Vampire academy ( and always will) the most "horrible" (not hate!) thing you said in this video is that you hate Damon.
😇😎👍😇
