This book, compared to the last two, is absolutely fantastic. The plot is really going somewhere now, we're finding depth to the characters - seeing more than just their level of authority or social status in the school. I like Yuki in certain respects - her past, her selflessness, her authority - but other parts remind me disgustingly of Bella Swan from Twilight, and she's an awful character. Begging to have her blood sucked, easily accepting vampires, etc. ... it's all very stereotypical human-falls-for-vampire setting. And, yes, Zero and Kaname are amazing characters who deserve her love and acceptance, but I just have to roll my eyes at some of Yuki's lines.

Even so, another book thoroughly enjoyed *thumbs up*
