The Young Elites
by Marie Lu
Gimme gimme gimme gimme gimme gimme.... October is so faaaar ;(
~~
So internet has been a bitch. And now I must re write my entire review. It was a long one. Dammit
~~
Actual Rating: 3.5/5 stars
POPSUGAR READING CHALLENGE!
* a book that scares you
And believe me or not, I was pretty scared to pick this up! Scared... and excited :D
Now if you know me from instagram or if you have read my previous reviews, you'll know that I'm a great fan of Marie Lu. I love her Legend trilogy and I greatly recommend it to anyone of you who wants to read something fresh in the dystopian genre.
Now, back to this book. I have a lot a mixed feelings about it. I loved all the characters (except maybe Teren. He's some crazy shit I wouldn't want to meet. And I hope he'll die. DIEEEEE [gee I'm going all Coach Hedge now ;)]) especially Star Thief, and I hoped we would have more knowledge about them because all characters contribute to the story, don't they?
Also, I have a feeling that there is something... missing from this book. I cannot really put my finger on it but I know it's here (or rather NOT here)
There were also times where I was a little confused about Adelina and I did not understand why she was feeling this... dark; I mean, you can't really be feeling like that all the time... Can you?
By the end of the book, Lu suceeded in making me mad at Violetta. She could have done something [SPOILER ALERT! READ AT YOUR OWN RISK]
And then there's the epilogue. Good old epilogue who got me like whutt???. Good old epilogue who made me mad at myself for eading this so early. Good old epilogue who made me look up the release date of The Rose Society and cringe. Good old epilogue, we have a love-hate relatioship right now, buddy.

Spoiler
she could have helped Adelina on so many occasions but she didn't because she was... scared? And now you want to help her? Sorry to tell you that, but if Adelina is all dark today you are also to blame for it -_-And then there's the epilogue. Good old epilogue who got me like whutt???.
