vampire academy graphic novel shadow kiss

It's like they're trying too hard to be the next Game of Thrones and it's just not working. In a show that centers around teenagers nonetheless. And honestly, I feel like the only reason this was on peacock instead of any other network was to give the writers an excuse to jam all the sex and swearing they possibly could.

And all the royal/court drama didn't come into play until later books and definitely not to the extent that the show would have you believe. The church was hardly part of the books at all. They've put far too much focus on the church and the royalty aspect of things. Some of the names stayed the same, but others have been changed drastically like Mia suddenly being a Karp and Tatiana's last name being Vogel? Major plot points have been changed beyond recognition and even cut out altogether in favor of useless sex scenes and an even more useless FWB type of relationship between Rose and Mason which never would have happened in the books. Vladimir's Academy, she must make a terrible choice.

The characters do not resemble their book counterparts at all in terms of both looks and personality. Retold in graphic novel format, while Rose is coping with the darker effects of being shadow-kissed, her relationship with Dimitri is finally taking off, and when he disappears during a Strigoi attack on St. Despite the show's the name, this is NOT Vampire Academy. I absolutely love the books and while the movie wasn't perfect and may have been a bit cheesy and campy at times it was still fun and a far better adaptation than whatever this mess is. I wanted to like this show, I really did, but no matter how hard I tried. I really wish you could give a 0 star rating on this site.
