Bookworm Appeal: Did you like The Young Elites?
NON SPOILER REVIEW
It takes place inn a fantasy setting where blood fever has run through the lands leaving anyone that survives it with strange markings and occasionally special abilities. Throughout the story we follow Adelina as she searches for REVENGE! MY REVIEW FOR THE YOUNG ELITES
SPOILER REVIEW
1.That end scene tho
I feel so BAD for Adelina. I mean you can see that she's trying to stop but the voices in her head make it improbable. I DID NOT expect her to lash out at Violetta like that, I mean maybe a slap to the face but it never came to mind that she would actually kill Violetta.
I felt especially bad for Adelina when she's on the throne with the crown on her head waiting for that sweet feeling of relief course through her and it doesn't happen.
2. This book is sooooooooo much darker
It was so much darker than the young elites was. It's even darker than Knife Edge (which is from the Noughts and Crosses series by Malorie Blackman that I have a review to in case you want to check it out) I mean before this Adelina was like "Oooh POWER!!! YAYYYY!!!!!" but now iit's more like "POWER I NEED MORE" It was just so hard at times to read from her perspective.
3. The ELITES
Their all GONNA DIE! AND I DIDN'T SEE IT COMING!!!! UGHHHHHHH!!!! #disappointed
When Rafaelle was talking about the Windwalker's bones hollowing out I thought it was because somehow Adelina's powers had manifested into something more, because the doctor was like it was as though the wrist twisted from the inside and that's sorta what Adelina does...rite? So, I kinda have a theory about how this conflict will end but that'll be somewhere down in another point. SOOOOO, READ ON!!!!
4. THE SHIPSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSS
SO the easy to see ones are probably Maeve and Lucent and Sergio and Violetta. The one that I really want to talk about is between Adelina - Enzo - Magiano. SO I know a lot of you probably like the idea of Magiano and Adelina together because he brings out the best in her and he's a really good person and he has a really awesome power. They are cute but for some reason I can't seem to let go of the idea of Adelina and Enzo. I know Enzo isn't really there just a shadow of himself and we have to kill him off but I kind of like to think of the Underworld side of him like this thin layer of cloth on him that they can somehow rip off. I'm pretty sure Marie Lu will write my first theory but I'm hoping for the latter.
5. GEMMA IS DEAD
I wasn't expecting that. I thought we would be done killing off the reast of the Daggers after Enzo and Dante but apparently we aren't and I know Enzo and the rest of the Daggers blame Adelina for Gemma's death but I kinda think that Gemma's death was Gemma's fault. I mean if Gemma hadn't tried to kill Adelina, Adelina would have never tried to kill Gemma,Plus it's not like Sergio could aim his lightning at Gemma he can make storms not control them. So really her death was her fault.
6. THEORY
After Violetta left Adelina she actually went to find the Daggers to go save Adelina. In return of them helping her save Adelina she'll help take away their powers so that they don't die. Then they'll kill Enzo and Adelina and Magiano will end up together and all of the other ships I mentioned will end up together as well. Maybe not Maeve and Lucent for some reason I imagine either one of them dying at the end.
7. Teren
The irony of the whole thing is the fact that he pretty much set his own downfall in motion I mean if he didn't try and burn Adelina in the first place I'm pretty sure he wouldn't have been caught. I was reading the part where Adelina goes all "I'll kill your soul" on him and I kind of wanted her to mention the irony of the whole situation.
8. Adelina
Throughout the whole book Adelina was giving me this whole Levana kind of vibe. (Levana is from THE LUNAR CHRONICLES BY MARISSA MEYER) I mean her view of love and her reactions are all very Levana-like if you read Fairest you get it.
