Adelina Amouteru’s heart has suffered at the hands of both family and friends, turning her down the bitter path of revenge. Now known and feared as the White Wolf, she flees Kenettra with her sister to find other Young Elites in the hopes of building her own army of allies. Her goal: to strike down the Inquisition Axis, the white-cloaked soldiers who nearly killed her.
But Adelina is no heroine. Her powers, fed only by fear and hate, have started to grow beyond her control. She does not trust her newfound Elite friends. Teren Santoro, leader of the Inquisition, wants her dead. And her former friends, Raffaele and the Dagger Society, want to stop her thirst for vengeance. Adelina struggles to cling to the good within her. But how can someone be good when her very existence depends on darkness?
Bestselling author Marie Lu delivers another heart-pounding adventure in this exhilarating sequel to The Young Elites.
*****
Once upon a time, a girl had a father, a prince, a society of friends. Then they betrayed her, and she destroyed them all.
After Adelina departed her own way from her friends in the Dagger Society, together with her sister, they formed a new ally with few other Young Elites to strike down the Inquisition Axis and seize the crown. But her power has become so powerful and everybody just wanted to stop her.
This book is the sequel to The Young Elites (review here) and all of the answers and cliffhangers from The Young Elites were answered in The Rose Society. I am so in love with this book as much as I love The Young Elites. It was very dark and I am thrilled with this book. As usual, the twisted protagonist of this book, Adelina Amouteru was not disappointing and one of the best character I have ever read as I am always in love with dark and twisted characters. She has the best character development (twisted) and readers tend to hate her or pity her for whatever decisions she made. She wasn't originally evil but she evolved because of her powers and how she felt betrayed by her family and friends. Readers should understand that every moves she makes was because of her pain and suffering and how hatred bloomed in her heart.
This book was just CRAZY! Crazily dark and interesting. It was darker than the previous book and Adelina's power as an illusion creator has become so dark and powerful, it tends to consume her from within. I really wish I could write something as dark and compelling as this book. This book kinda remind me a lot of dark protagonist in the Japanese manga/anime Death Note and Code Geass.
There is nothing I didn't like about The Rose Society. I think the ending was perfect especially for a twisted and dark character as Adelina, she probably deserved that kind of ending. I think Book Three will be released in 2016 and it will be one of my most anticipated book to read this year.
I give this book 5 stars.
