This is really a 3.8 out of 5 stars 
 Overall, I enjoyed reading The Young Elites. I thought it was cool how Marie Lu set the story in the past. Most stories with characters who have unusual powers are set in futuristic worlds. I also enjoyed that Adelina was not a hero, rather she was portrayed as a villain. 
 However, I found the storyline at times to be boring,unlike Legend. In the Legend trilogy ,the books contain a lot of action and makes for a really great story. I think I went into The Young Elites expecting the story being similar to Legend.
