The Midnight Star by Marie Lu
5.0

“Everyone has a darkness inside them, however hidden”
-
This is my all time favorite ending to a book. It ends so beautifully that I talk about to as many people as I can about it. For Adelina to go from frightened, and scared, to feeling welcome by people like her, to becoming feared, but also fearing herself. The ending is slightly short, as to I’d like to know what happened to people other than Violetta and Magiano, like Raffaele.

“Someday, when I am nothing but dust and wind, what tale will they tell about me?”

The fact that in the end, Adelina wasn’t known for being cruel, she was known as a star, touching the land every midnight to kiss her love, Magiano. To have that for her, shows that she was so much more than a villain. Sometimes, in books, it’s better when the characters do end up dying. She would’ve hated life without her sister and powers, and she knew people would’ve hated her to, regardless of saving the world.
Thank you Marie for making the best series ever.
