Today we’re kicking off The Midnight Star tour and I am excited to share with you my top 5 reasons to read this series and sharing some of my series sensory associations!
5 Reasons to Read The Young Elites
1. A villainous MC.
Adelina is not your run-of-the-mill villainous MC. Over the course of the series, she spirals down into a dark places and goes from being a naive and clearly wronged girl to someone who is downright terrifying and hurts people she loves.
2. Hits you in the feels.
Do you enjoy having your emotions messed with? Do you enjoy having a series leave you completely drained and feeling like life cannot go on? This is the series for you.
3. World building.
This series has amazing world building. Marie Lu pays attention to detail and builds a diverse fantastic world full of awesomeness.
4. Secondary characters.
Adelina is a great main character but she isn’t the only amazing character in this series. Marie Lu builds a great cast of secondary characters who will piss you off but who you’ll also fall in love with.
5. Plot.
This series is also well set-up and the pages fly by more quickly than I would like. I love the journeys we are taken on and pain and everything. Basically, binge read this series.

About the Book
The thrilling finale to the New York Times bestselling Young Elites series from “hit factory” Marie Lu.There was once a time when darkness shrouded the world, and the darkness had a queen.
Adelina Amouteru is done suffering. She’s turned her back on those who have betrayed her and achieved the ultimate revenge: victory. Her reign as the White Wolf has been a triumphant one, but with each conquest her cruelty only grows. The darkness within her has begun to spiral out of control, threatening to destroy all that she’s achieved.
Adelina’s forced to revisit old wounds when a new danger appears, putting not only Adelina at risk, but every Elite and the very world they live in. In order to save herself and preserve her empire, Adelina and her Roses must join the Daggers on a perilous quest—though this uneasy alliance may prove to be the real danger.

I have not yet read The Young Elites, but you make quite the convincing case for the series here, so I may just have to bump it up on my TBR. 🙂 I love the sensory associations idea, too – it’s really fun!
