I couldn't give 5 stars because I think some characters were flat and I didnt like how some things went. But then again, this book was unique since its from antihero pov and Im so used to seeing heroes doing righteous stuff, being good, so for me to see Adelina being evil, Im like Why would you do that, Adelina? Its wrong. But it is from a villain's perspective so it's all good. 
 This book was pretty good. It was soo engrossing throughout and even though the main character is a villan, I ABSOLUTELY ROOT FOR HER. 
 Gosh, something is wrong with me because I love her. I want to see her succeed. I want her to win, kill all The Daggers and be an evil villain. I dont want her to turn good at the last second. 
 I think I enjoyed this book more than the first because I know what to expect. When I read The Young Elites, I didnt expect it to be so dark. But now, I RELISH IT. 
 I would recommend this book, definitely. But you gotta change your mindset and prepare to be plunged in a world of darkness. 
 SPOILERS BELOW 
 AHHHHHHH I loved the starting Where Adelina meets Magiano and he challenged her to get the pin. AND HOW SHE DID IT WAS WOW. I think thats my favourite scene. I like the romance between them, it's very light and it gives Adelina a taste of love, distracts her from ger hunger for revenge and her dark kind. 
 OH, I ALSO LOVED THE SCENE THEY REVIVED ENZO. 
 The ending. Wow. Adelina is going insane! And it's quite cringe-y when Enzo knows the truth and they were fighting in front of everyone. I like Enzo, but I think he should be sent back to the underworld. Hes clearly not the same and ugh, he went back to The Daggers. I mean of course, no surprise there BUT UGH. 
 I pity Adelina, man. She always gets hurt or betrayed and it slowly destroys her mind. No wonder she's becoming a villain. Ugh I hate how The Daggers always blame her for everything. And ugh, now I dislike Enzo a bit. Ugh why go back to The Daggers? Haha okay I know why. And I might be biased since I live Adelina. 
 I didnt even give a damn about The Daggers, like I didnt care that Gemma died. I didnt care about Lucent and I even didnt care about Raffele. I dont. 
 Maeve was meh. Violetta was meh. 
 I loved Magiano. I love how cunning and witty and sweet he is. Sigh. 
 And seeing how things went between Adelina and Enzo, I ship Magiano with her now. 
 Oh, Teren is bloody creepy with his obsession with the queen. And when he killed her, HELL YEAH. AND NOW HES IN CHAINS. YESSSS. 
 I do wanna know how it all will turn out in the end. I dont want Adelina to be defeated. I THINK IT LL BE PRETTY SWEET IF SHE WON AND BE AN EVIL RULER, THEN WE LL GET A SPIN OFF SERIES OF A HERO THAT WILL OVERTHROW HER. SWEET. 
 Anyways, this book has brrn a joyful ride. The journey was awesome and I look forward to the next book.
