From New York Times bestselling author Marie Lu comes the second book in the exhilarating Young Elites series
Once upon a time, a girl had a father, a prince, a society of friends. Then they betrayed her, and she destroyed them all.
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 and her sister flee Kenettra 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 and New York Times proclaimed "hit factory" Marie Lu delivers another heart-pounding adventure in this exhilarating sequel to The Young Elites.
So, this was way better than the first one! Adelina is a very interesting character to read about, I liked the fact that for once the main protagonist is neither moral nor perfect and I think her thoughts are always well written and very believable. I loved Magiano, he is without any doubt my new favorite character, he is too precious for this world and I want him happy! The daggers... I still don't like them, with the exception of Maeve. She seems interesting and I haven't completely understand her motives yet, so I hope we'll see more of her POVs in the next book. Teren seemed forced at time, I feel like he doesn't have a place in the story anymore. I believe this book has improved, but there are still some things that bother me: sadly the descriptions are still nonexistent and I don't understand the reason why Adelina's pov is in first person while the others are in third... This is not fluid at all. Now I'm interested enough to read the next book.
