I didn't know Richelle posted the first chapter. I just finished reading it -- it's nothing really...=/

Well...nothing really happened I mean.. Man, I was hoping for something exciting, but instead, the chapter ends right when it gets interesting.

i KNOW i WAS HOPING FOR SOMETHING EXCITING TO HAPPEN OR TO FIND OUT IF Lissa WENT WITH HER. YEAH THE FIRST CHAPTER DIDN'T REALLY GIVE MUCH.

^ Yeah, it was disappointing, to be honest. =/
Hopefully, the full book will be better, however, I did not like the first chapter at all.

I disagree, I think she gave us a lot. Personally I think it was better than the frst chapter of Shadow Kiss (which if you'll all look back on ended just when Rose saw Mason in ghost form...once again the good stuff happening in the last few lines). At least with Blood Promise's first chapter we have the setting for the new book, what Rose has been doing for the past few weeks, the introduction of a new character and then an exciting cliff-hanger of sorts.

I agree, i mean were on what 14-15 pages in this thing from the first chapter of blood promise. we couldnt have done that if she didnt give us anything, i think we got just enough to tie us over for a month.

You're right, Kim -- the first chapter of Shadow Kiss wasn't any better than the first chapter of Blood Promise.
I think it's the same for all the Vampire Academy books, the first chapter is always boring (for me atleast).

Near the end of the book is usually when it gets interesting , so I'm hoping its the same for Blood Promise.


lol, I don't think this post made any sense but.. I hope you get what I mean.

i think that the chapter RM put up on her website has actually done heaps.
- introduced a new character that will most likely play a part in the book
- set the scene
- explained some of the things that had happened recently
and more stuff like that.
i think RM has achieved exactly what she wanted by posting that chapter,
and after reading the cliffhanger we obviously want to read more.

I understand, and believe me I'd much prefer that stuff too, but I figured the chapter needed to be defended slightly

^ Haha, yeah I mean...I wasnt criticizing Richelle's writing or anything...I was just saying that the first chapter was a little boring for me. But I'm sure the rest of the book won't be boring --- especially after reading the cliffhanger at the end of the chapter.

I also agree chapter 1 in BP was a little boring but i agree with loove_dimka that it was introducing major characters, part of the scene in the plot, and it also explained a lot that has happened. i do believe the rest of the book will be interesting and full of action and drama:D

OK, so you know how you were saying that you don't think that Rose will go Strigoi? You were forgetting that Strigoi have massive compulsion abilities. I think that its still possible that Dimitri talks her into going strigoi. I think that Spirit Bound might mean that someone goes after Rose once she's strigoi, and kills her, so she bound for the world of the spirits, because bound doesn't just mean attached, it can also mean headed for something. I don't know, I'm just throwing another option out there. No clue what the sixth book would be about, if she did get killed, though.

I hope she doesn't get killed, though.
