The Young Elites

"I give it a 3.5/5 I had a hard time forcing my self to keep reading. Surprisingly I like the second book better and I’m almost don’t with the finale. This was one of the first books we’re the mc is the villain. Over all I do recommend this series."

"I loved it "

"This was an amazing book!! 5/5 PSA- best book in the series, it goes kinda downhill "

"Such a great book so much drama but like the good drama! I only like certain fantasy books and this was one of them. "

"The trauma and betrayal Marie Lu makes you feel in this series makes you empathize with a main character. Superpowers and corrupt kingdoms, this series takes a dark turn with every captivating word. Protagonist turned antagonist, definitely recommend reading."

"Great book but couldn’t get into the second one. "

"Adventure, magic, drama and romance? This book could not be any better!"

"3.5 stars<br/><br/>The Young elite: ⭐️⭐️⭐️.5<br/>The Rose Society: ⭐️⭐️⭐️.5<br/>The Midnight Star: ⭐️⭐️⭐️<br/>Average: 3.33<br/><br/>This is basically the plot of the darkest minds but if they made it darker and made everyone grey. The plot is basically there was a disease going around. The survivors ended up getting physical marks and special ability. They are known as malfettos. They aren’t killed but they are looked down upon, so much that no one cares if a malfetto died.<br/><br/>Adelina is the main character. What makes her interesting is that she is a antihero. She struggles with right and wrong. She has goodness in her and she wants to do good, but there is also darkness that causes her to make bad decisions. A lot of that comes from the abuse that she had to struggle with ever sense she became a malfetto. <br/><br/>She has a sister but it is a complicated relationship. Adelina loves her but she is also jealous of the love that she gets. <br/><br/>During the story there is a romance between Adelina and Enzo. It makes sense why Adelina fell for him. The book does give us a reason (we don’t know if it is true) of why Enzo likes Adelina. I liked Adelina’s protonic relationship with Raffaele. They didn’t get too close but it was well written.<br/><br/>I liked how Marie Lu wrote a main character going dark. A lot of storys have the character being good until one event happens and then they snap. This book was a reread. The read the second book a while ago. Adelina does get darker the more you read the series. She wants to do good but she fueled by anger and revenge. Unlike other books it makes sense for her character to go dark because even in the beginning we are shown the darkness in her. Adelina never has a snapping point. She just makes decisions based on her character. Her darkness is caused by all the bad stuff that happened to her and it kind of builds. It is also caused by something else but i don’t want to say too much. <br/><br/>Everyone is more grey in this book. You would assume that the dagger society is the good guys but they do kill people if it helps them get closer to their goal. We do get a chapter in the point of view of the “villain” of the story and we get a good idea of why he is doing the things he does. <br/><br/>There are only three things that brought down the book. The pacing, romance and world building. The pacing bothered me the most because there would be a lot of action then suddenly it gets slow. This would happen a lot too. <br/><br/>The world was interesting but it just felt like it needed more. The secret society were interesting but i wanted more.<br/><br/>The romance made sense but it needed more development. I read a article that said that Enzo was written more to bring out the darkness in Adelina. I can see it but it still feels like a common YA romance."

"Oh my god this book was so good! I found it from reading legend by the same author, and I’m so happy I did find it, loved the book, the writing and more "

"i chapters was really long but all in all it a good book. but why is it when the main charters fell in love in a book they charters dies why did she do this it was not fair she needs a happy ending. but i love enzo. now i want to read the rest of the series"
