Review: Marie Lu's THE YOUNG ELITES

This book!! I felt I could actually visualise it. There is only one other fantasy book world that I could visualise and that was Death Sworn duology by Leah Cypess. (And I loved that series.) And now I have another book world to add to it -- This book and it's marvellous-ness.

It was fast-paced - I read it in two sittings during the book-tube-a-thon. Told from the villain's POV (female villain protagonist o_O) and it was freaking fantastic. There was a little note from Marie at the end about how the book was originally told from one of the guy's perspective. So there's that.

It was a four star read for me throughout until that one moment when everything changed. That scene with that death-- y'guys!! I was shocked-- I was like, 'why??!?' I was devastated. It was soo unexpected. And the ending and the epilogue, what even?!?

Marie Lu can seriously write. Her Champion trilogy was magnificent. I can't believe how different this world was--Like it had the same amazing-ness and jaw-dropping moments but it was a totally different reading experience. That was dystopian, this is fantasy.

This book was simply fab. It was dark and engrossing with captivating characters.
