This was by far the best book in the series in my opinion. Also the ending did surprise me, I was definitely not expecting Marie to be so ruthless with her characters! I think Marie came up with some great powers for each of the characters. Another thing I liked was how everyone’s power was unique, no two people could have the same power. I wanted to see her take revenge on everyone and make people afraid of her. ![]() I was interested in seeing that darkness and fury in Adelina. I read a lot of reviews on Goodreads saying the second book is a lot darker than the first, so this is what made me continue this series. The only thing that interested me about this book was the main character, Adelina, being more of a villain than a hero and embracing her dark side. I felt like they weren’t fully fleshed out and we were only scratching the surface with them. I couldn’t connect with any of the characters, I just didn’t like them at all. But this ended up being so disappointing and quite boring, actually. I was expecting so much from this book given how much praise I’ve heard about Marie Lu and her writing. I’ve been wanting to write mini review posts for a while now, so I thought this trilogy would be the perfect time to do so! Hey guys! I recently finished The Young Elites trilogy by Marie Lu and while I didn’t enjoy it enough to review each book individually, I still wanted to do a mini review of each book in one post. ![]() |
