God!!!I love this book!! It was amazing!! This isn't the first time I read this series, and I still love it!

If it is there, you've got to do whatever it takes to protect the ones you love.” If it's not there, you've got to be able to admit it. “The first thing we did was ask, ‘Why would we want to tell that as a memory when we could watch it happen in real time?’ So we backed up the beginning of the story in the context of the girls’ friendship, while still doing other elements of the story that were specific to the first book.“You can't force love, I realized. “So much of Rose and Lissa’s friendship - what they experienced growing up, the things they saw, the trauma that happened to them, the losses they suffered - was told as part of their backstory,” Plec says.

The relationship between this princess and her guardian-in-training remains the heart of Vampire Academy, but the show won’t necessarily present their story “in the way you think you’re supposed to see it.” They let us celebrate casting from all over the world, letting these actors be their true, authentic selves, rather than just casting based on what it says the character looks like in the books.”Īnother key change involves the story’s main characters, best friends Lissa Dragomir (played by Daniela Nieves) and Rose Hathaway (Sisi Stringer). As co-showrunner Julie Plec explains, “No one told us that we needed to have uniform accents or any kind of cultural uniformity. The show’s international scope also extends to its diverse cast. “So you get all this visual candy, plus the whole world comes together in one dominion. “One thing that will be a surprise for fans is that, not only is the show not set in Montana or Pennsylvania, but it’s in this beautiful, epic setting because we were able to shoot it in Spain,” co-showrunner Marguerite MacIntyre tells TVLine.
