The Young Elites by Marie Lu
3.0
I found this book very intriguing at first. The cover is what drew me to it and after reading the first couple of pages it made me want to know what happened. However this feeling didn't last with me the entire book. It was far too slow in my opinion. Though definately not a bad read, i just didn't have the patience to read the entire thing. I found myself getting overly impatient to get to the end and simply skipped to the end. Something i very rarely do because i feel there's no point in reading the book if you do this. I got about halfway through it though so i can't say it was horrible. It wasn't.
It just wasn't captivating to me. Partially because i don't feel that you feel the main characters emotions. They just seem like words on a page. If you like books that are centered in the 1300s then this might be a good choice for you. That's exactly where this book starts out. And i suppose i should have known because of that that i wouldn't finish it because i tend to have high standards for books from these times.
Overall, it's worth picking up to an extent. I'm not sure i would recommend it to many people though.
