The Young Elites- Marie Lu- 5 Star Review

Hello All,

Its been a hard few days and I'm delighted to present you with a review for all of you.

The Young Elites- Marie Lu

Adelina Amouteru is a survivor of the blood fever. A decade ago, the deadly illness swept through her nation. Most of the infected perished, while many of the children who survived were left with strange markings. Adelina's black hair turned silver, her lashes went pale, and now she has only a jagged scar where her left eye once was. Her cruel father believes she is a malfetto, an abomination, ruining their family's good name and standing in the way of their fortune. But some of the fever's survivors are rumored to possess more than just scars-they are believed to have mysterious and powerful gifts, and though their identities remain secret, they have come to be called the Young Elites.
Teren Santoro works for the king. As Leader of the Inquisition Axis, it is his job to seek out the Young Elites, to destroy them before they destroy the nation. He believes the Young Elites to be dangerous and vengeful, but it's Teren who may possess the darkest secret of all.
Enzo Valenciano is a member of the Dagger Society. This secret sect of Young Elites seeks out others like them before the Inquisition Axis can. But when the Daggers find Adelina, they discover someone with powers like they've never seen.
Adelina wants to believe Enzo is on her side, and that Teren is the true enemy. But the lives of these three will collide in unexpected ways, as each fights a very different and personal battle. But of one thing they are all certain: Adelina has abilities that shouldn't belong in this world. A vengeful blackness in her heart. And a desire to destroy all who dare to cross her.
It is my turn to use. My turn to hurt.

5 Star Review

From the outset I was drawn into the frightful world of Adelina and I couldn't put the book down. I was found it strange how she went with a bad leading lady but however it was very enjoyable from the off set. The world was formed almost perfectly and the only fault I could find with the book is that I couldn't tell if it was a China or Indian theme to the book. 

Every fight scene was designed to the finest detail and it held suspension, tension in every page. I can't wait to see how the series develops. I was more than relieved to see that this was forming into a series of books and I can't wait to check out more of Marie Lu's work.
