bookish thoughts : shadow kiss

SPOILERS (just in case anyone stumbles upon this who plans on reading it)

I just finished Shadow Kiss. God. Talk about the worst ending ever... Harry Potter made me cry several times, but Shadow Kiss made me nauseous and my eyes sting. Almost-crying. It just isn't fair.

I am obsessed with Rose and Dimitri's relationship. They were never supposed to fall in love. He was her teacher, her mentor, her lover, her soulmate. They understood each other so completely and would do anything for each other. She thought the world of him and would do anything for him... She was so young at first, and just trying to figure everything out, and he called her out on it every time. He taught her how to grow up, how to control herself, how to be a better person. Like he was. And now what is she supposed to do? I feel like the world is over.

And yet there is that part of me that is clinging to hope. Maybe Mason was lying. Maybe Rose can save Dimitri. Maybe he's okay. He has to be okay, right?

Because it's just not fair.

It's not supposed to end like this!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
People who have a connection like that are supposed to always stick together. They need each other. One can't just leave...

PS. Going to D&G to intern for the next month is going to be hellish. Because Jim has read Book4 and knows what happens at the very end of Rose's adventures (book 6!), and whenever I see him I won't be able to think about anything else.

Also I wish I were working there over the summer so I could be there when the galleys come in...

Also I think it is so fucking cool that I personally know the guy who got the proposal for Vampire Academy one day a few years ago and thought, "This is awesome." and got it published for all the world to read. Epic cool points.
