The Young Elites: Marie Lu

3 Sterne Ich würde dieses Buch als soliden Auftakt der Trilogie bezeichnen. Vor allem die Tatsache, dass Adelina nicht das typische unschuldige, brave Mädchen, das in eine neue Welt geworfen wird, darstellt, hat mir sehr gefallen. Allerdings hoffe ich, dass sich die Spannung in den Folgebänden noch steigert.

What a fantastic book. I absolutely loved it! The world building, the characters, the story - amazing. To be honest, I didn't expect it to be a 5 star read. What a pleasant surprise. It's also the first book in a long time where I didn't see all the plot twists coming. I love how different Adelina is from the other main characters in the books I've read recently. Her struggles with her inner demons and her difficulty trusting the people around her were very well written and also very believable. I think she could become even more of an antihero in the next books. The narrators of the audiobook did a fantastic job as well. Highly recommended.
