“The affecting conclusion to the Young Elites trilogy relishes ardent emotion… Like many a classic antihero's, Adelina's trajectory is both sobering and satisfying.”- Kirkus Reviews More than ever, it is the bond between sisters and the struggle to be human that take center stage in this heartrending finale.”- Booklist, starred review ★ “Lu brings her Young Elites trilogy to a thunderous close with this final installment.
"In a series featuring a roster of diverse, super-powered teens, Adelina’s path to darkness is the most fascinating as she struggles to control her powers and assert herself in a world often cruel to women like her."- The Washington Post I love how everything was tied up by a simple page of writing."The New York Times-bestselling series is unique in that its protagonist is also the villain, making Adelina the most prominent antihero in YA fiction today."- Teen Vogue But that whole bit at the end was just brilliant. This was the only title I couldn’t figure out for the longest time.
So this worked for me–though I was worried for a minute that we were going to get her back into the world of the living. While I’m all for anti-heroes being redeemed, I think a HEA for her would have been a bit of a sellout for her. I really don’t know how else you could have ended this without Adelina dying. Enzo was such a huge character in the first book and while his role was reduced in the second novel, I just felt that his death should have a bigger impact on Adelina as a character in the grande scheme of things. Was I the only one who thought this moment would have a bigger impact? This was one of the only things I felt that was rushed in this novel.
