About the ghosts (SPOILER)

Quote :

communicate with anyone who has died recently, the possibilities are quite open. rose has a fairly open schedule in the next book, so i imagine she's going to see how omnipresent the dead become when she's flying off to siberia through unwarded cities and unwarded aircraft, etc.

I am just thinking, what if Rose uses her connection to the spirits as a way of tracking down Dimitri. Because I mean obviously strigoi kill their victims when getting blood from them, so then the victims would become spirits and tell Rose where to go, or guide her in some sort of way.... Maybe.
Especially in a place like Siberia that she is not familiar with...

I definitely think she's going to use the spirit world to find Dimitri. She'd have an extremely hard time if she didn't.

I hope there are more ghost guides in BP it's a new and interesting element. Especially only when she can ask yes and no questions. Rose would have to be asking the right questions. Plus if the ghosts are there for revenge then of course they would help rose kill the ones that murdered them.

I wonder how helpful the ghosts really are though. Mason seems to be the exception (so far). The other ghosts Rose saw on th eplan seemed to be telling her that she should be dead, but Mason still had this desire to protect Rose and those in the Academy. Rose didn't see any of the other ghosts at school while the wards were down. Maybe that's because Mason was so new to death that he was stronger somehow, but it seems odd that the other ghosts didn't show up there occasionally too.

^ Maybe it has something to do with how close they are to Rose.. Mason was very close to Rose, so maybe that's why she could see him more often than the others.. Or something :p

I've been considering that one myself. But then you'd think Lissa's family would have come through too. I know they're not as close anymore, but they had to know Rose pretty well back when they were alive, especially if Rose was actually with them when the car crashed. They wouldn't have had just anyone in their car with them.

Hmm.. Yeah, that's right.. Maybe it has something to do with Mason's feelings toward Rose? Maybe he didn't want to "let go" of her before he knew she was safe.. And maybe it's because he was a "good" ghost, that he found his was through the weak wards.. Lissa's family sounded pretty mad and jealous (?) at Rose at the plane, so maybe the wards was strong enough to keep them away.. But the evil Strigoi got trough, so.. Hmm.. I don't know :p

I definitely think Mason was pushing the boundaries a bit. Lissa's family died violently and as far as we know they're not at peace yet. Where as Mason's death was terrible but in a way he died the way he was trained to and in a way that he'd be able to accept after a little while.

^ Mhm, I agree

That also makes sense...the whole sticking around thing until all earthly issues are resolved. Now that you mention it, I wouldn't be at all surprised to find out that the car accident wasn't an accident. Would I blame Victor? I'm not too sure. How crazy would it be if it turned out to be one of Christian's relatives???

That is so soap opera-y. It would be hilarious.
