 Review: The reason why I didn't pick this book up earlier is because of my greediness. I wanted to collect all the three books before reading it. Which came out as a regret for delaying it too long because I never got the chance to collect the other two. So, for having no other interesting books to read, I preposterously picked it up. And oh fucking hell, I LOVED it. 
 To be precise and detailed, The Young Elites follows a story of a girl called Adelina, who has a demonic power (or so they say) that gave a result for her silver hair and scarred one-eye face, accidentally discovers her power one night and is to be executed. Then something else came, the Young Elites who gathered and called themselves The Dagger Society, to rescue her away from her death. Adelina continues to uncover her power and control it while tangling herself with a cold-hearted prince. 
 This book is so different from Marie Lu's Legend. It is a complete darker and more complex version fantasy. So many similarities to The Final Empire yet so dark and unique. I really loved Marie Lu's writing. It's so captivating and addicting, just like Legend. But although these two books are so similar in writing, I think they're so different as well due to the genre and choice of words. It pulled me in immediately, it was so easy to interpret and imagine. I can't say I love it enough. 
 What is more important than the writing is that this book had every page pull of plot. It was running fast and cunningly impressive, especially the beginning and the end. There were so many twists and turns and complexity of a character. It started out in a really dark world that was close to the Italian Renaissance and it ended on an epic duel that was so cruel it crushed my heart. 
 I have to say that I disliked Adelina at first. She was so complicated and it was difficult to read from her perspective because I always felt like she did the wrong thing. But I later on learned to like her because of the mistakes she did. It felt real and human. She always had this twisted change of mind if somebody did anything wrong to her. I adored Enzo. The end. He's not the best male character, but he's cold. He's hard, ferocious, and assertive yet there's a sense of subtleness. And I need to see this guy in the next book! What an interesting and impressive villain, Teren. So fierce and crazy in love maniac. But this guy is not subtle, he's damned skilled. 
 Overall: I lovedddd this book. I can't wait for my next book to arrive. I would recommend this to anyone. It's crazy dark and incredible; I loved it.
