Synopsis (from Goodreads): They come first.
My vision was growing dimmer, the blackness and ghosts closing in. I swore it was like I could hear Robert whispering in my ear: The world of the dead won't give you up a second time. Just before the light completely vanished, I saw Dimitri's face join Lissa's. I wanted to smile. I decided then that if the two people I loved most were safe, I could leave this world.
The dead could finally have me.
Rose Hathaway has always played by her own rules. She broke the law when she ran away from St. Vladimir's Academy with her best friend and last surviving Dragomir princess, Lissa. She broke the law when she fell in love with her gorgeous, off-limits instructor, Dimitri. And she dared to defy Queen Tatiana, leader of the Moroi world, risking her life and reputation to protect generations of dhampir guardians to come.
Now the law has finally caught up with Rose - for a crime she didn't even commit. She's in prison for the highest offense imaginable: the assassination of a monarch. She'll need help from both Dimitri and Adrian to find the one living person who can stall her execution and force the Moroi elite to acknowledge a shocking new candidate for the royal throne: Vasilisa Dragomir.
But the clock on Rose's life is running out. Rose knows in her heart the world of the dead wants her back...and this time she is truly out of second chances. The big question is, when your whole life is about saving others, who will save you?
Join Rose, Dimitri, Adrian, and Lissa in Last Sacrifice, the epic, unforgettable finale to Richelle Mead's international #1 bestselling Vampire Academy series.

My Thoughts: I have loved this series since I started it. It was one of those series where I could relate to the characters and could really immerse myself in their world. So, when this book became available for preorder, I ordered it and anxiously waited for it to be delivered to my Nook. And it was delivered....and there it sat for TWO LONG YEARS! Yep, it was one of those books. I had to have it but then couldn't find the time to read it.
I finally started it in February of this year. I think it is pretty obvious it doesn't usually take me long to read books. And this was one of those really good books. I think I dragged it out because it was the end. I hate endings! Anyways, I finished it and I loved it!
Rose has been arrested for the murder of Queen Tatiana. Dimitri, who has just been restored from being Strigoi, still isn't quite trusted by anyone and he has pushed Rose away because he doesn't feel worthy of her love. When Dimitri and a couple other guardians show up during Queen Tatiana's funeral and break Rose out of prison, she is shocked and confused. With the help of Rose's father, Abe, and Adrian and Lissa, Dimitri is able to get Rose out of Court and from there we head out on a quest to find out who really killed Tatiana and who Lissa's illegitimate sibling is.
This book was full of twists and turns and filled with mystery and excitement. There are lots of characters from the first few books that resurface (Sonya Karp, Mikhail, etc) and I enjoyed catching up on them. I think Sydney is one of my favorite characters from the last book so I was glad to see her again in this book. I loved how involved she was and am very happy Mead is writing a spin-off (of which I have already read book 1) with Sydney. I enjoyed how Lissa proved that she could get along with Rose and I loved the little twist at the ending regarding their bond.
Dimitri and Adrian and Rose...the ultimate love triangle! I was very happy with how it ended. I felt bad for the guy that was left behind but I was happy with who Rose ended up with.
This is an amazing series! I am glad I finally finished it but also sad that it is over. If you haven't read the series, I strongly suggest you go get them and enjoy them! I have no doubt that you WILL enjoy them!
