I really hope that when Rose leaves the Academy that she will encounter some stray Strigoi and be so close to death and actually experience some of her hidden shadow powers and explore the darkness or Lissa would probably do something so dangerous that the darkness would hit Rose and she would discover the powers which she will unlock and learn to go into that world of the dead and use that to her advantage somehow *shrugs shoulders* and drag Dimitri's lost soul back and into him.
I really think their was a reason that Richelle stressed so much on Dimitri losing the most important thing in his life which is his soul.
THis series had better be Rose/Dimitri and have some more gore and tragedy for my sanity cause Twilight saga was complete *$#& to me. And thank you Richelle for a strong independent kick-ass protagonist *Rose* rather than some lame-ass, dependent harmless girl like *ahem ahem coughBellAcough*.
Dimitri, you better be with Rose in the end or for gawd's sake I am going to ..... *use your imagination*... *wink wink*
