From School Library Journal Gr 9 Up—"Once upon a time, a girl had a father, a prince, a society of friends. Then they betrayed her, so she destroyed them all." Lu's epic series takes a dark, gritty turn with her latest offering. Adelina, known as the White Wolf, has fled Kenettra with Violetta, her sister, in order to recruit other malfettos (superpowered humans) for revenge upon the Inquisition—the faction that killed her love Enzo and countless other malfettos. Turned out and betrayed by her former comrades, the Daggers, Adelina is determined to form her own army, especially once she stumbles upon the near-mythical malfetto named Magiano. As the leader of the Inquisition, Teren, continues to search for Adelina so he can destroy her, she turns toward a more somber facet of her energy. Her path explodes into a dizzying array of power, murder, and revenge, leaving Adelina to question her true nature. When a malfetto queen conspires to raise Enzo from the dead, Adelina must face, once and for all, her feelings and her desires for power. What sets this novel apart is Adelina's slow spiral into bleak, joyless corruption; Lu doesn't wrap up the narrative with a shiny bow. Teens will be fascinated to watch the main character descend into villainy and revel in it. VERDICT Fans of Sarah Maas's Throne of Glass (Bloomsbury, 2012) and Sabaa Tahir's An Ember in the Ashes (Penguin, 2015) will enjoy the author's latest.—Amanda C.

Really Dark Fantasy for YA By Robin Snyder I hate all the characters and want them to die.*** “Once upon a time, a girl had a father, a prince, a society of friends. Then they betrayed her, so she destroyed them all.” ***Okay that is not entirely true….I hate most of the characters and want them to die. But maybe that is how I’m supposed feel. This is pretty dark for YA. All of the main characters have their own ambitions and people who were once friends are now enemies.Usually in a YA story there are good guys and bad guys but in this it seems that everyone is a bad guy. The only truly nice person seems to be Violetta who wants desperately to atone for keeping Adelina’s power at bay when her father tormented her. Everyone else is either power hungry, vengeful, radical or just plain crazy. With that it is really hard to pick a side.I don’t think I was really ready to take a walk on the dark side. Adelina wasn’t all sunshine and rainbows in the Young Elite’s but in The Rose Society she plunges deeper and deeper into her dark side.*** “Fear motivates, more than love or ambition or joy. Fear is more powerful than anything else in the world. I have spent so long yearning for things—for love, for acceptance—that I do not really need. I need nothing except the submission that comes with fear. I do not know why it took me so long to learn this.” ***As the story progresses it is more clear that she is on a really dark path that will probably someday consume her. She is set on becoming Queen and taking all the power to be able to dole out her retribution to those she thinks have wronged her. It is a dark path and the voices in her head don’t make her seem any less crazy.*** “I will do everything in my power to destroy all who stand in my way.” ***Right now I’m not seeing a happy ending for Adelina. Especially with what she did at the end of this and the revelations made about the costs of having Elite powers.Terin at least I understand him. He is the normal bad guy in the story. The man that hates what he is so much that he will destroy all those like him thinking he is doing right and cleansing the world. I always understand his motivations and how love of Julietta has ruined and twisted his mind. He has suffered a pretty severe path in this and I almost feel bad for him. But then I remember all the people he has killed so I guess he really deserved it.Raffaele has a new plan after casting out Adelina and taking what is left of his daggers across the sea. He has made a bargain with Queen Maeve, but is it treason or patriotism. I guess it depends on how you see his role. There is a fine line and Queen Maeve is unlikely to give help that doesn’t benefit her in some way.When you are on the outside looking in and you see all the machinations of everyone involved you see how they are right and wrong at the same time. I wanted parts of Raffaele’s plans to work but at the same time I knew that Adelina’s plans might be better for Enzo’s dreams. Oh and Enzo my poor Enzo just a pawn to be used either by memory or by something else. I don’t know if I should be happy or sad for his fate in this, but I’m pretty certain that this will not go well at all.There are a few new characters that were good additions. Magiano the trickster thief is a fun character to play with although I’m not sure about how I feel about him as a potential love interest (seriously hate potential love triangles). Sergio the boy who controls the rain is also a nice addition to Adelina’s new team of Elites. And Elite’s pitted against other Elites does make for some good fight scenes. Still I hate everyone and think as of now they will all destroy each other in the next book. I do not see a way for a HEA in this series…it is not that kind of book.The huge revelations that came about towards the end were pretty fantastic while I wasn’t ready for the ride this took me on I did like how it concluded. The set up for the next book seems full of tragic possibilities and I’m pretty sure Lu isn’t afraid to kill of a character or five in the finale.I commend Lu for taking a chance and trying something this twisted and dark in a YA format. There isn’t always a clear good guy and bad guy and sometimes the people who win are not the people who should win. And sometimes the people who started out with the best intention become so twisted along the way they are only shadows of who they once were.

By Cin Ngo “I pledge myself to the Rose Society until the end of my days, to use my eyes to see all that happens, my tongue to woo other to our side, my ears to hear every secret, my hands to crush my enemies. I will do everything in my power to destroy all who stand in my way.”This book is everything you could ever want in a sequel. So happy I managed to get it from my bookstore early yesterday so that I could finish it today.It takes all the great elements of the first book and propels them to new heights. Adelina is back with a vengeance and with her a new team of Elites. The story is fast-paced, high-stakes and honestly an emotional rollercoaster.Adelina is not your typical heroine. In truth, she isn't much of a heroine at all really. She's a deeply damaged girl, drowning in her own darkness. Adelina does terrible things, but yet time and time again I never really find myself hating her. Because from her point of view her actions are justified. She does what it takes to survive, to protect herself from all the hurt she's ever felt, and in the end all she's trying to do is find her own happiness or least some semblance of peace. Though she does not go about it the right way.I think what makes this series so addicting, at least for me, is that all the characters are very gray. Everyone has their secrets, desires, ambitions and for the most part everyone has betrayed one another at some point."The irony of life is that those who wear masks often tell us more truths than those with open faces" - sad but trueThat being said, at the end of the book we see our beloved Adelina essentially give into the dark side and it is honestly such a heartbreaking moment because after everything that's happened I just want this girl to be happy. Like can't we make that happen? Can't she find peace from the loneliness?***Spoilers***In terms of love: The Enzo and Adelina ship has, almost quite literally, gone up in flames. But oddly enough I am not too surprised, nor am I upset. Because in this book we saw the introduction of Magiano, who I quickly grew quite fond of and who quickly won me over to his side in terms of Adelina."He is not Enzo, I remind myself. But I don't want him to be. With Enzo, my energy yearned for his power and ambition, all too happy to let him take me into the darkness. But with Magiano...I am able to smile, even to laugh. I am able to sit here and lean back and point out constellations."Magiano is Adelina's light. He calms her and soothes her in a way no one else can. And he protects her in a way no else will. Adelina, she has power, she has ambition and she has enough darkness to swallow her whole. She does not need any more. Although she's chosen to walk down this dark path, I believe she will one day need someone to pull her back from that darkness. Enzo cannot be that person for her, but Magiano can. If only she'd let him in and he be brave enough to tell her the truth.All-in-all the book is a very compelling read. The dilemmas and decisions that these characters have to make a truly difficult, and makes you wonder what you'd do if you were in their shoes.

Review for The Rose Society by Marie Lu By Alyssa ***Review posted on The Eater of Books! blog***The Rose Society by Marie LuBook Two of The Young Elites trilogyPublisher: G.P. Putnam's Sons Books for Young ReadersPublication Date: October 13, 2015Rating: 4 starsSource: ARC gifted by a friend (thank you, C!)Summary (from Goodreads):From New York Times bestselling author Marie Lu comes the second book in the exhilarating Young Elites seriesOnce upon a time, a girl had a father, a prince, a society of friends. Then they betrayed her, and she destroyed them all.Adelina Amouteru’s heart has suffered at the hands of both family and friends, turning her down the bitter path of revenge. Now known and feared as the White Wolf, she and her sister flee Kenettra to find other Young Elites in the hopes of building her own army of allies. Her goal: to strike down the Inquisition Axis, the white-cloaked soldiers that murdered her love, the Crown Prince Enzo Valenciano.But Adelina is no heroine. Her powers, fed only by fear and hate, have started to grow beyond her control. She does not trust her newfound Elite friends. Teren Santoro, leader of the Inquisition, wants her dead. And her former friends, Raffaele and the Dagger Society, want to stop her thirst for vengeance. Adelina struggles to cling to the good within her. But how can someone be good, when her very existence depends on darkness?What I Liked:WOW this book was dark. Not as crazy dark as Menagerie was (that was an adult book though - and highly disturbing, more than anything), but super dark for YA. Adelina is a villain in all sense of the word. I love how far Marie Lu goes with the character development, although the direction is quite... frightening. THIS BOOK!Adelina and her sister Violetta are on the run, as Adelina was banished from the Dagger Society after Enzo's death. Adelina begins to amass Elite allies of her own, looking to destroy the Inquisition Ais, and take the Kenettran throne from Queen Giulietta, Enzo's sister. Adelina is driven by revenge and hatred, and it's getting harder for her to stop wanting to make everyone hurt as much as she does.Let me start off by saying that I remembered little from The Young Elites. I absolutely adored that book, but hey, I read it exactly a year ago. That was a long time ago! And yet, I remember that ending. THAT ENDING. I was super crushed over it, and knocked off a star because of the ending. But the good thing is, this book (The Rose Society) is written in such a way that you can get right back into the world with no struggle! So don't worry if you don't remember much!Adelina. Adelina, Adelina. She gets even darker and more twisted in this book. Her power as an illusion creator grows, and she is able to bend people's perceptions to her will. There is a part of her that enjoys making bad people suffer, making her enemies suffer, even killing people. Adelina is a villain in this story, even if there are other villains. I can't even say if her cause is noble - she's trying to overthrow the Queen of Kenettra so SHE can have the throne. It's not about greed, but vengeance, and Adelina will stop at nothing to get it.All of that being said, Adelina isn't a completely cold and cruel person. She is definitely cold. But there are pockets of time in this book where you recognize the humanity in her. But most of the time, she is driven and ambitious and heartless. I like Adelina! I think she's gone off some deep end and probably won't return from it, but I like her. I can't see a happy ending for her though. She is so damaged, mentally, it's scary! She is a frightening character - I'd run far away if I came across her! Yet I think I like her. She is waaaay ambitious.There are new characters, old characters, returning characters. Violetta is a constant and unchanging presence in this book - I like her a lot now. Magiano is an Elite, a new ally of Adelina's, whose power is quite intriguing. There are other powerful Elites that Adelina enlists, and it's remarkable to see them work together - though it's greed that is driving most of them. I really like Magiano! He reminds me of Kaz Brekker from Six of Crows by Leigh Bardugo.There is never a dull moment in this book! It is over four hundred pages, but the story flies by. Once I started reading, I couldn't stop. It is fascinating and chilling to see Adelina develop into this heartless, ruthless character. And the major plot twist is... woah. Everything from book one makes sense, why Lu would do certain things. I won't say anything more specific, but WOAH.Romance. Hmm. This is something I don't want to talk about too specifically. If you haven't read The Young Elites, you probably should. For those who have, you know the ending. I will say that there is romance in this book, and it is unexpected in two ways. You'll have to read the book two find out why! I personally liked one direction of the romance. The other direction is scary, in a run-for-your-life way.I really, really enjoyed this book. I loved the addition of new characters, the reappearances of the characters in book one (from the Dagger Society, Teren Santoro, etc.). I loved seeing Adelina's character development progress (twisted as it was), the pain she is dealing with, how she suffers. There is so much pain and suffering internally, so you can't help but feel for Adelina. I am very curious to see what Lu will do in book three! I have a feeling nothing will end well...What I Did Not Like:You know, I can't think of anything specifically? I can't shake this feeling of impending doom and a tragic ending at the end of this series in general, which is very unsettling. But that shows how well the author is setting the scene, even if I don't think I will like the scene (at the end of book three, hypothetically)? I just hate feeling unsettled, if that makes sense. It's nothing specific, and technically not a dislike. There wasn't anything that I can think of that I could point a finger directly at. Yay!Would I Recommend It:So highly recommended! This new series by Lu is definitely a step up from the Legend series (and I thought Legend was great). I loved The Young Elites, and I think I loved this one just as much! Don't be intimidated to read this book, as there is no sequel slump here.Rating:4.5 stars -> rounded down to 4 stars (because of that unsettled feeling I have, really). I cannot wait to read book three! Though I'm feeling how I'm feeling about Pierce Brown's upcoming publication, Morning Star: scared of my mind. These two series are bound to end poorly! (Please prove me wrong, authors, I beg you...)
