The Young Elites by Marie Lu

The Young Elites (Young Elites, #1)

by Marie Lu

Adelina Amouteru is a survivor of the blood plague: marked by a jagged scar, snow-white hair and lashes. Cast out by her family, Adelina has finally found a place to belong within the secret society of Young Elites. To some, the Elites are heroes, here to save innocents in desperate situations. But to the Inquisition Axis, the white-robed soldiers of Kenettra, they are monsters with demonic powers who must be brought to justice. As Adelina learns more about this perilous world where politics and magic clash, she soon realizes that her own powers may be in danger of bringing on an era of panic such as the world has never seen.

This book got a three from me as it took well over a 100 pages to get to the meat of the story. That was ok with me but a lot of my friends gave up so I'm telling my followers don't give up keep going once you get to the action you will be glad you stuck it out. The plot twists toward the end where well worth the wait though I was a bit ruined by the end with all the death from a few characters and I kind of guessed the ending since I knew the title of the next book. I was not totally sold enough to want to throw money to the bookstores for the book so I have it on hold at the library
