((May contain *slight* spoilers, but not obvious plot ones)) I enjoyed this book immensely! At first i wasn't very optimistic, about this being worth the read, but after finishing all the other books i had recently bought for my Kindle i decided to give it a chance, and i am very glad i did! Summary: Opal Cowan - aka 'One Trick Wonder' - is skilled with Glass. She's living at a place known as 'The Keep' where 15-20 year olds are trained to use and understand Magic. However, Opal only has one magical ability (hence her name 'One Trick Wonder') and is shunned by the other students at the Keep, and because of this thinks of herself as an outsider. When tasked with a mission to find out why Stormdancer's Orbs are breaking and killing them, Opal faces dangers from bandits and magicians alike who all have reasons to stop her with her task and capure for their own needs. Along the way she needs a Stormdancer with a 'spark', a fellow glass maker and various other allies and enemies alike whilst gaining self confidence, learning to trust others, putting the past behind her and becoming confident in her own abilities. --- I really enjoyed this book, watching Opal grow and develop as a character -form being a obvious doormat to an independant and confident person and also her various relationships with characters. Kade & Opal were clearly meant for each other, but it was obvious Ulrick also had a place in her heart. I liked the development between Opal and her fellow classmate Pazia, watching the two of them clash and eventually learn more about one another. The storyline flowed brilliantly and the order of the events seemed realistically, nothing was rushed or thrown in without a purpose and i never found myself skipping pages or wishing something would just happen. It was fast moving and kept me hooked from beginning to end. I liked the writing style and of course, i loved the plot, though i did find some of the glass making terms and descriptions confusing, knowing nothing about glass myself but it wasn't a big factor :-) Overall, i really enjoyed the book, and i'm glad Maria V. Snyder left the ending open for a sequel :D I can't wait!

Pertama tau Vampire Academy itu dari temen yang bikin thread Richelle Mead di salah satu forum yang aku naungi ;D. Awalnya gak gitu tertarik, karena trauma ama buku vampire lain, yang mana saat itu lagi beken banget. Akhirnya nanya2 ama Zaizai, lalu tertarik baca deh. Awal baca VA sih agak boring, karena bab satu nya ada di tengah2 cerita. Maksudnya gak menceritakan awal mula Rose dan Lissa kenapa2, melainkan cerita ketika mereka dikejar2 para Pengawal sekolah Vladimir. Tokoh utama di sini bernama Rose Hathaway, dia seorang dhampir, makhluk setengah manusia setengah vampir, bisa dibilang dhampir itu kasta bawah nya kehidupan Vampir. Karena Dhampir dibuat untuk melayani Moroi (Vampir hidup). Di sinilah uniknya baca Vampire Academy. Ada berbagai jenis Vampire yang ikut serta dalam buku ini. Kita udah pernah liat Lestat dengan Peti Matinya dan Edward dengan mata emasnya juga kebiasaannya tak pernah tidur. Tapi di sini, Vampire Academy menyajikan Vampire jenis lain. Moroi = Vampire tidak kekal; artinya Moroi itu bisa mati, mereka juga makan dan minum. Moroi punya gerak refleks dan kekuatan seperti vampire lain. Dan mereka punya kelebihan menguasai elemen. Mereka bisa tahan terhadap matahari dalam jumlah batas tertentu. Strigoi = Vampire abadi; artinya tentu saja mereka tidak dapat mati, mereka jahat. Jahat dalam arti VA adalah, bahwa Strigoi meminum darah dengan membunuh. Beda dengan Moroi yang meminum darah dari para sukarelawan. Dan terakhir ada juga Dhampir: Setengah manusia setengah vampire. Dhampir mewarisi gerak refleks dan indera tajam dari moroi, namun dhampir juga mewarisi ketidakpekaan terhadap matahari dari manusia. Dhampir diciptakan para Moroi untuk menjadi pengawal mereka, karena Moroi yang bisa menguasai elemen percaya bahwa kekuatan elemen mereka tidak boleh digunakan untuk kejahatan. Jadi sudah bisa ketebak, bahwa cerita Vampire Academy ini memusatkan cerita antara Strigoi yang ingin membasmi Moroi, terutama anggota kerajaan, namun akhirnya malah berhadapan dengan Dhampir sang pengawal para Moroi ^^ Yang unik dan kenapa aku mau lanjut baca VA selain mengangkat mitos Vampir Rumania itu (Moroi, Strigoi, dan Dhampir), adalah karena tokoh utamanya yang Dhampir. Kebanyakan dari serial YA itu kan para tokoh utama cewe nya adalah cewe lembut, cantik, dan berkelakuan baik yang semua cowo2 seneng liatnya. Sedangkan Rose sikapnya keras kepala, main hantam sana sini, grasak grusuk, senang banget cari masalah. Dan tentu nya jago berantem...Sudut pandang juga memakai sudut pandang Rose yang penuh dengan komen ceplas ceplosnya yang mengandung humor. Namun khas nya genre YA, Vampire Academy juga tidak menghilangkan persaingan cinta para remaja, persahabatan, kenakalan melanggar aturan sekolah, dll. Rose Hathaway sebagai dhampir muda mempunyai tekad yang kuat dalam dirinya, yaitu ingin menjadi pengawal. Sedangkan Moroi yang ingin dia kawal tak lain adalah sahabatnya sendiri Vasilissa Dragomir, yang kebetulan seorang pewaris kerajaan dari Klan Dragomir. Sepeti taglinenya: Only a true best friend can protect you from your immortal enemies. Rose menyerahkan hidup dan matinya hanya untuk melindungi Lissa. Memasuki gerbang sekolah yang dinyatakan aman, terlindung dari sihir gaib, dan dilindungi oleh ratusan pengawal namun justru di dalam sekolah lah teror demi teror datang pada mereka, mengganggu hidup mereka, mengincar Lissa dan apa yang ada pada dirinya.

When I revealed some of the sordid details from Elvis' life as I read about them in this book, my mom commented, "Who gave this guy permission to write about Elvis's life? I wouldn't want anyone to write about me like that!" I think the legacy of his fame and the spiraling trajectory that ultimately ended in Elvis's death only peaked the public's interest about the mysterious legendary performer. i know it did mine. after reading all those other elvis biographies, i felt i had more questions than i did answers. this book serves to clarify some of the more peculiar characteristics that elvis presented to the public, especially in his last few years of life when his performances became more and more delusional. or maybe some people don't want to know. it's a pretty sad story. this book is meant for inquisitive minds who can withstand the harsh truths about a man turned demigod. i had read other customer reviews before reading this book myself, so i was prepared for some of the more outlandish-sounding theories that whitmer discussed. the premise of elvis' psychopathology is based on the stillborn birth of his twin, jesse. throughout all 427 pages of the book, whitmer constantly refers back to elvis' desire to be reunited with his twin brother. it's a compelling theory, and whitmer is a vivid story-teller for a psychologist (this book is far from a dry read which i appreciate), but it's also fraught with limitations. see, the problem with psychoanalysis is that a lot of it just sounds so farfetched. then again, i'm not an analyst. i admit, whitmer does incorporate a lot of theory such as the oedipus complex (which, in elvis' case, is so textbook it's freaky) and family systems into the case conceptualization of elvis presley, so i see a lot of legitimacy in that sense. however --and this is where my critique of the book as a piece of psychological literature comes in-- whitmer's use of theory falls flat due to his lack of reliable references. for all we know, the literature he is drawing his claims from may be grossly outdated. and not only that, but he has never met elvis himself, yet the way he writes about elvis sounds as if he knew the star personally. it is a very intriguing read, but begin the book with the above limitations in mind. even though whitmer tends to make absolute conclusions about elvis' psychological makeup, it can hardly be regarded as such. the first sentence in the book sums it up: "Kafka once described the search for 'truth' as similar to the difficulties of a blind man in a room with no light looking for a black cat -- that is not there." even if you were close to the guy, i don't think there is any way anyone could truly know him. but at least this book gives us some inkling as to what he goes on in the mind of a legend.
