 Review: As both The Rose Society and The Midnight Star arrived together, I decided to pick up The Midnight Star immediately after finishing the second book. I had a mixed feeling about this one, I know that it's not perfect and definitely had some flaws in everything, but I can't help adoring it. I think this trilogy has etched close to my heart and would not let go any time soon. 
 After finding out what was happening to all the Elites, The Midnight Star takes us to a solution and cure for the blood fever. As victorious and triumphant queen, Adelina has successfully invaded the lands that she wanted, while trying to find Violetta and keeping the spiraling darkness in her mind in control. 
 I needn't say much more of the writing because I said it in my reviews of the previous two books that I adored it. Though, I felt like the book was a little too short. This is the final book in the trilogy and I was hoping for a phenomenal closing. I don't mean it didn't end in an epic way nor it wasn't enough, I merely thought that there was a possibility that this book could expand into a wider journey and adventure. But with this, I am satisfied with what I have. 
 What I love to talk about the most when I review books is the plot. I get to examine the difference since the writing and the characters are pretty similar. I should say that I enjoyed this book because of the plot, too. But there were parts that I didn't and I found to be very boring. We spent good amount of like 80 first pages with Adelina reigning as an evil queen to the unmarked, including killing a few that stood up against her and dealing with the growing whispers in her head. It was coming more and more often. It was annoying. Until her encounter with Raffaele, things started to stir a little bit and then went down again. Although I was hoping for a drastically twisted plot, I thought that the encounter was incredible. The ending was also wonderful. I guess it was predictable, but it was overwhelming. I could literally feel the throbbing of my heart because of the how painful the ending was. I loved it. 
 I said it before and I'll say it again that Adelina was all surrounded by her terrible whispers. She acted out of her selfishness and stubbornness, in which she didn't even listen to Magiano. I wouldn't say that I loved Magiano, I just liked him. My favorite character used to be Enzo, but things went wrong. He was very caring even though he knew what Adelina could do and all those whispers in her head. I still loved the Daggers and I was so nostalgic to see that there were only few of them left. I was happy that 70% of the book had Adelina and them together. 
 Overall: I liked this book, not as much as the other two, but still it was great. I loved how dark and twisted the trilogy has become, which is so fantastic since we get to see how Marie Lu can go. I'm glad I picked this trilogy up and I'll be waiting for new Marie Lu's book.
