The male characters in general

Is it just me, or does Richelle Mead really know how to write male characters? I found myself loving so many of the guys in the VA series, and finding them interesting (Adrian, Dimitri, Eddie, Mason, Christian.) I think all of them bring something different to the table, and have a unique appeal to them.

They have depth and aren't posterboard 2-dimensional.

I agree, and I would say that about all her characters.

oh yeah! I love Adrain the most then Christian then Dimka .

it's true! I feel as though she didn't assign each character a given cliche personality. Each one has a basic/general typical character, like adrian is the "bad boy" (in a way) but then she gives them more depth by showing his more sensitive side and kind of making him somewhat innocent or at the least caring haha.

I think he is a bit complex.....

I think that is what makes him so interesting, because you never really completely understand him.

I think so too

Mason and Eddie semi 2 dimensional
Adrian christian and Dimitri very complex. Adrian is obviously complex but he is the only one we see so much of through rose. Rose starts getting to know christian and he takes on the protective brother kind of role with rose and comes from a complex background that adds to his character. Domotri despite what many people think is also complex it is just his stoic exterior that hides who he really is inside. I think in book four when we get to see where dimitri came from we'll actually start to see the depth of his character.
I'll admit eddie did change a little after Fb and became a little more serious thus evolving his character some.

I just hope that the bloody book is not all about him and Rose trying to find him . RM said that we'll be seeing more of Adrian in BP . I can't wait to see if he goes after Rose!

part of me really wants to see him go after rose, and another part of me doesn't if in the event it might result in Adrian dieing. I hope Adrian stays with her in her dreams through out the book. I just want his character to stay safe.

true! but I think that everybody will go . Lisa will go after Rose , trying to protect her , Christian will go to look after Lisa , Adrian will tag along , because he cant stay alone at the academy and Eddie will follow them because of duty.

oh yeah thats my prediction too because it's what victor wants. If the group goes after rose, Rm already said Rose doesn't die, so either lissa, christian, adrian, or eddie will. Who would you rather die out of them? I really don't want that to happen but if I had to make a choice unfortunately for eddie third times a charm.
Who do you think it will be?

I'd say Eddie too poor dude .

i dont want eddie to die poor guy can't catch a break. some one else was pointing out that pattern and going with their theory then some one would have to take one for the team. i would like eddie to grad. and become christians guardian. one big happy family. sort of. as long as adrian can some how be part of that family weather it be with rose or not.

Adrian will make himself part of their family . Even if nobody wants him or ask him to...hehe . Him and Lisa are glued together , it doesnt matter how much it would upset Christian . PLus! I think he'll be one of the leaders in this revolution . With his dreamwalking power he could do so much to help.

Poor Eddie. But i was just completely randomly thinking... Now that Rose and her mom are slightly closer, do you think there's a chance that Rose's mom would go after her because the mission is too dangerous and possibly die in the process?

Once again, totally random thought.

that's a good point!....that way nobody else dies

Yeah, that's what I was thinking, and it's kind of random and something the readers wouldn't necessarily be expecting....

Yeah I think so, I have thought about that a few times. kind of like how richelle gave us dimitri and took him away at the same time. I can deffinately see rose and her mom really start to bond then a maternal instinct will kick in and Jeanine will get killed trying to save rose.

That would suck BIG time

well, at least it is good they they are finally starting to bond at least a little bit.
Like how her mom took her side on sending students on the rescue mission...they aren't constantly fighting one another now.

I hope nobody die!

Me too, but somehow I don't think we will be so lucky as to have that happen, after all, Rose is strigoi hunting...

all I have to say is if somebody is going to die than Dimitri better be there to console rose. That only seems fair. I know Adrian would be there for rose but richelle can't keep tipping the scale taking more and more people away from rose with out giving a little back.
