The Young Elites had been one of the most frustrating books for me to read and review. Its been one of those books that I spent 300+ pages wondering whether I liked it or hated it. The middle seemed to slowly crawl towards an explosive ending. 
 In the end all I can say is that its a fantastic book with brilliant writing and fascinating characters. In this world there are no heroes and villains, nothing is black and write. The people who should be good are bad and those who are cast as bad are so complicated you don't know where to start. 
 So the book is about Adelina a malfetto (a person who survived the blood fever and came out alive marked...some hold dangerous powers) who holds one of the most dangerous powers of all the elites. Adelina dances with darkness on a daily basis, she struggled to tame it to her needs. The darkness taunts and manipulates, whispering secrets and mocking insults in her ears as she fights. Adelina's journey is not an easy one nor is it as simple, she is to be feared but admired. 
 Teren is another elite and isn't he amazingly dark. He hates everything about malefettos despite being one himself! He believes so fully about his opinions that's its saddening. 
 I'd tell anyone to give it a shot because it truly was a good book, I just had no clue what to think for the majority of the story.
