The Young Elites by Marie Lu

3.0

I liked the magic system and the baseline for the plot. I liked that their powers came from a blood plague (although no one really knows why or how), I liked the idea of a found family, and I liked the idea of a rag tag group of people with powers taking down the kingdom. Where it really lost me was how whiney Adelina was and how much “pick me” energy she spewed off. I also didn’t like the “insta love” between Adelina and Enzo. Their relationship wasn’t very well built up and there was little to no chemistry. It felt a little like an afterthought that was added in to appease those who can’t read a fantasy without a romance element.
