{Please note that the following review will feature heavy spoilers for the Young Elites #1} After finishing the first Young Elites novel (hence named The Young Elites), I wasn’t in such a hurry to read its sequel, The Rose Society. It…

I love the chaos she causes! What a badass! “True rulers are not born. They are made.” The chaos is becoming so strong that it’s affecting her mind too. So amazing. This is written even better than the first one. “I wait eagerly for the…

Similar to the first book in the series, Lu does a fantastic job of luring you in with the ever-increasing darkness of the story. All throughout, you can gradually see Adelina slipping farther and farther away from the light. As her…

It is well written but found it got a bit too much "over-the-top" as the plot unfolded. Don't know if I will read the next book.

The Rose Society by Marie Lu is the second book of The Young Elites series. A girl named Adelina is searching for other mages like her; she wants an army that can assist in her revenge. I would give this novel 5/5 stars. I cherished…

Darker and better than The Young Elites. Adelina's powers are pulling her toward darkness (or possibly emphasizing the darkness that's already there). In some respects, it's still hard to see her as a villain when the "other side" seems…

It was good but I grew too frustrated with Adelina at times.

What a ride! The Rose Society did not let me down. I loved almost everything about it, and the legacy of the Elites continues. The world building is awesome, as usual, and the new characters fit into the story fairly well. I was…

I couldn’t put this book down! Oh, how I want to read it again and again. This was not a typical middle novel in a trilogy. It magnifies the expectation for the final book (but did you expect any less from Marie Lu?), and is simply darker…

So....not as engrossing as the first in the series. But still good. I think my biggest problem with this book is Violetta. She irritated me throughout the whole thing. So much so that I didn't even have sympathy for her in the end.…

I much preferred the first book to this one. Primarily because I just found the plot in the Rose Society to be far fetched and boring, and I was getting frustrated with the main character's actions- they weren't carried out in a way that…

So disappointed in this book after enjoying the first. Sad and depressing.

Well...I have to say that I liked this book. I really wasn't expecting to because I found The Young Elites to be really frustrating. It has a great storyline and characters, but Adelina is probably the most frustrating character that I…

Meet Magiano....the hilarious theif. I'm sorry Enzo, Magiano took the prize for best character and most hilarious character. The Rose Society really delved into Adelina's downfall (personally, I think life could go on without Adelina…

Adelina is so ruthless. I enjoyed the book. The main characters is so different from a typical YA heroine.

"Once upon a time, a girl had a father, a prince, a society of friends. Then they betrayed her, and she destroyed them all" I just love reading books from Marie Lu. I am always swept up in the world she creates on paper. Taken to a…
