forever thinking about adelina and violetta the love they have for each other and the parallels from the first book and the last book. SIBLING ANGST FTW

the young elites

the midnight star

im so sorry but im gonna ramble because theres not enough of that here. SPOILERS FOR THE WHOLE SERIES ‼️‼️

THE YOUNG ELITES:

from the beginning of the books we see how much adelina is willing to sacrifice for her sister and how they protect one another in their own way, we see how adelina would betray the daggers to keep violetta safe from the inquisition and we see how violetta LITERALLY BEGGED them to save her and instead she got used and held hostage, then at the end of the first book we discover that violetta was using her powers to protect her sister all those years from herself, even if it was lowkey kinda twisted. but the love was there!!! and the whole time in the first book we see how much adelina is continuously betrayed time and time again by people who are supposed to love her (their dad) and then just when she thinks she gets accepted by another family, they too, reject her and leave her all alone (the daggers). but at the end, violetta is who she clings to. violetta is the one who loves her unconditionally and with no bounds and its just so 😭😭😭

THE ROSE SOCIETY

thats just the first book!!!! the second book, theyre both together, and we can see adelina's journey into madness and how violetta tries to do everything she can to save her sister but adelina's gone off the deep end and she lashes out at everyone. but even through the madness, adelinas still looking out for her sister. the voices make her go insane and in the end, she lashes out at violetta and violetta runs away :( the juxtaposition between the ending of the first book and the second book makes me go so fucking feral because BECAUSEEEEE

THE MIDNIGHT STAR

then the last book, oh midnight star 😭😭 the way theyre both so wary of each other after 2 years of distance but they still cling to one another after everything!! violetta still trying to plead to rafaelle to save adelina despite being cast out 😭😭 and dont even get me started on adelina conquering countries and simultaneously looking for her sister in each one she comquers. and the end 😭😭 her redemption isnt through magiano (WHOLE OTHER RANT), its through her sister, violetta, who she does everything for. she sacrifces her LIFE or own life for violetta because thats just how they work! and the dialogue in the last book, how adelina still protects her sister even when violetta fled to the daggers. the end where she chooses violetta over her own life makes me so feral and its just a culmination of all her motivations and how she just wants to save her sister, thats all she wants. because despite everything, violetta is who she runs to. violetta was her safe space, and to imagine a life without violetta was impossible.

and yk what? in the whole series, adelina depended on her powers for everything from the moment she discovered she had them. when violetta would take them away, it physically pained her and she used her powers and they used her back but she needs them!! even when they were all supposed to be giving their powers back to the gods, she didnt even want to, until she saw her sister and thought that violetta could have a second chance at life if she gave her powers. AND SHE DID!!! but that wasnt enough, because violetta was dead. so adelina gave her life. her chance at peace with magiano, for violettas revival.

im so sorry this is so long but i just needed to ramble i have nobody to talk to about this series 😭😭

Y'all I just finished The Rose Society and I have some thoughts.

Spoilers ahead, be warned.

FIRST OF ALL

Y'all need to fucking start listening to Raffaele

When this bitch gets the FEELING that it's going to go wrong then this shit is GOING TO GO WRONG.

And he KNEW that resurrecting Enzo wouldn't be a good idea!

And what did everyone do?? RESURRECT HIM. OF FUCKING COURSE.

Also Lucent was giving big Janis Ian vibes in the arena-

I strive to be like Lucent. I mean, I'm already halfway there as a big fucking lesbian. Just need to get the badass part down.

And the slowly dying from brittle bones part...

Lmao Adelina sure do be in DEEP denial with Raffaele's discovery.

Denial is a river in Egypt

Also that scene with Maeve and Lucent? I swear I died. ANd it didn't seem forced. I'm so happy about that. I love my girls :)

Those last 2 and a half pages absolutely broke me.

Also that fight scene with Adelina and Violetta? Also broke me.

The scene where Raffaele calmed Enzo down? Holy mother of fuck. That broke me

This series is breaking me lmfao

Also I get why some people hate Raffaele so much but....honestly I love him. I get what he did, but honestly it was justified. I really like Raffaele as a character :)

Rating books I got from the library:

Worst to best!

Terlamane: Realm of the Gerits, Aysha Alnaqbi. -3/10

The concept is amazing, I loved the idea, but it was done really bad.

It sounds like how bread in water tastes.

Barely got through the prologue and Chapter 1.

Written like these Mary Sue OC inserts (Wattpad flashbacks).

Legend, Marie Lu.

-6/10.

Was sort of mid-ish.

I had somewhat high expectations, but didn't really get emerged.

Not guaranteed to read the next book.

Not outwardly bad. Good writing.

The Midnight Star, Marie Lu. -8/10.

Magiano and Adelina *Chef's Kiss*

EMOTIONALLY DRAINING

I was crying for the last 30 pages straight.

The rest of the series is also fire.

Momo/ The Grey Gentlemen, Michael Ende. -10/10

HELP WHY WAS THIS SO SAD AND DEEP AND THRILLING.

The book looked so innocent when I picked it up and I was tricked.

Idk what they call him in English (I read the Arabic version) but Gigi is my boy now.

Best decision I've ever made. Well done, Michael of 1973.

Next book list: The Revenge of Seven, Eragon, The Inn, Divergent.

We exist because this world exists. It’s a responsibility of ours, wether or not anyone will remember it. And they will. Because we will return and make sure if it.

The Midnight Star absolutely destroyed me. The first two books in the Young Elites trilogy were dark and suspenseful, so the concluding chapter had a lot to live up to. And it was even better than its predecessors.

From the very beginning of this series, Adelina has been a favorite character. She is so fierce! She embraces her inner badass and has no care of what people think of her. She knows what she wants and has no problem in obtaining it. She may be going mad with her powers but you can tell she is working so hard in getting it under control. In The Midnight Star, Adelina tries to control her powers but sometimes things aren't so easy. And even though I tried to prepare myself for the worst, the ending hit me hard and left me open-mouthed.

Marie Lu is an exceptional writer. Her writing is packed with actions but with the midnight star she did the unthinkable. This story is so so sad, heartbreaking, yet beautiful. The love of family and the admiration of friends is much more important than anything, even in this fantasy world. My heart shattered to pieces with that ending. Adelina reminds me a lot of the darkling in the shadow and bone trilogy by Leigh Bardugo. That´s all I'm going to say. Do yourself a favour and read this trilogy.
