I particularly liked the prologue which gave highlights of the story so far to refresh your memory. I usually forget the specifics once I've finished a book so this was very helpful in jumping right back into the story.

Rose is off in Siberia hunting for Dimitri so I thought the other characters would be left in the dark. But thanks to Rose's psychic link with Lissa, she is able to hone in and "see" what is happening back at the academy. When Rose sets off to Siberia in search of Dimitri, she has absolutely no idea where to look except his hometown. Dimitri is now an evil strigoi, would he really head home and put his beloved family in danger? Do you know how huge Siberia is? With no place to start, how in the world did Rose think she was going to find someone who didn't want to be found? It seems to me to be a fruitless search and Rose just ambles along with no idea what to do or where to go. I found Rose's quest to be very aimless and irritating.

Well it's no surprise when she Dimitri. At this point, I was very disappointed in Rose and almost gave up finishing the book. It became way too predictable. Rose redeems herself at the end and of course, saves the day. I think I'm going to give this series one more book to see if it continues to ramble aimlessly or finds a new direction to travel.
