ABOUT THE BOOKS:
VAMPIRE ACADEMY
Rose Hathaway is a dhampir: a guardian whose blood is a powerful blend of vampire and human. Lisa Dragomir is a Moroi princess: a mortal vampire with a rare gift for harnessing the earth’s magic. Rose’s life is dedicated to protecting Lissa from the dangerous Strigoi--the fiercest vampires, who will stop at nothing to make Lissa one of them. Over the course of six books, love will blossom, hearts will be broken, and lives will be lost. But through it all, Rose and Lissa’s friendship will never surrender…
BLOODLINES
Sydney Sage’s blood is special. That’s because she’s an alchemist–one of a group of humans who dabble in magic and serve to bridge the worlds of human and vampires. They protect vampire secrets–and human lives. But the last encounter Sydney had with vampires got her in deep trouble with the other alchemists. And now with her allegiances in question, her future is on the line. Set in the same world as Vampire Academy, this spin-off series explores all the friendship, romance, battles and betrayals that made the #1 New York Times bestselling Vampire Academy series so addictive - this time in a part-vampire, part-human setting where the stakes are even higher and everyones out for blood.
AGE OF X:
Set in the near future, this new adult series picks up after a deadly virus has reduced the worlds population and restructured countries and borders. The Republic of North America has fought its way out of the ashes to become the most advanced nation in the world by adhering to its policies of forced genetic breeding and denial of the supernatural. But the RUNA now finds itself questioning its founding principles as strange forces begin stirring in the world, forces that a brilliant but decadent exile and an aristocratic super soldier find themselves in the middle of.
Latest reviews of The World of Richelle Mead app for iPhone and iPad
I have read them All and they are fantastic!
Completely love VA and this app only suggestion is that in the character relationships Abe+Adrian gets the Janine+Adrain response.
This app is perfect for any fan of the VA Series. Whether you have read the books or are reading them now this app brings you closer to the characters. Richelle Mead is by far one of my favorite authors so well done!!
Needs a fan wall so we can chat with other fans, it also needs alot more polls and should have more info maybe about the movie updates, maybe more quotes from the books as well as videos of the book trailers, maybe pictures of the books and characters they have for the bios, also should have Meads fb and twitter up. Other then that I love the character bios and the relationship between each character.
I was very excited to download this app and get more insight into the characters and the VA world. However, the app is really terrible. Ill start with the basic bugs that need to be fixed. 1. You have to repurchase all the books over again to get the added information. Yuk! I have all the books in hardcover. It would be great if you could type in your purchase sku and get a digital version. 2. I wanted to check the app out, so I re-purchased book one. The font is a good size & I liked the little insights that the author hid throughout the book. However, there is no easy way for you to bookmark your page & the app doesnt keep track of your place in the book. So, if the app gets closed, you have to remember what page/section you are on. The programmers need to take some user experience tips from Kindle. 3. The character image section of the site is cool because you can see how 2 characters interact but the images are all wrong. I realize that they just used the images from the book covers but they dont look anything like the characters in the book. If this app is going to grow and have staying power, the producers need to have the art department read the book & correct the images. For example, Rose is not blonde. 4. There is no way to highlight & save a phrase or a portion of the book that you can then share with the community. In todays digital age of sharing, they should have integrated Get Glue, FB, Twitter and some other basic networks so you could share with your inner circles & drive other people to read the book or discuss the scene. I hope the app was launched early and that they try and fix the bugs. The content is good. There is a HUGE opportunity here to do some transmedia storytelling and really involve the reader. Take some tips from Pottermore & Kindle.
