The Midnight Star

Not invincible after all, little wolf I only wish this book was longer After all the violence, emotions and drama of this series, this final installment was a good hundred pages too short for me and it s not often I say that True, it pretty much ended the way I expected, the only way it really could, but the journey there has been bloody, twisted, and a whole lot of fun.The end of the last book threw a dark little twist at us and I couldn t wait to find out about Adelina s state of mind in The [...]

Sometimes I can t tell if my madness is what s conjuring these images, twisting my confidence So I try to ignore them, as always What does it matter if I m mad I have a hundred ships Twenty thousand soldiers My Roses at my side I am queen I think the series peaked at The Rose Society After that spine chilling ending and months of waiting for The Midnight Star to show I actually had to wait three weeks because Book Depository fucked up , the end product seems rather underwhelming I closed the bo [...]

You cannot harden your heart to the future just because of your past You cannot use cruelty against yourself to justify cruelty to others.Good News Bad News Marie Lu knows how to end her trilogies with a bang but also knows how to kill her readers I feel as though I am not even alive any I am writing this review after my death, my funeral was yesterday and I m surprised how good the Wi Fi is, considering I m in a coffin Okay, this scenario is running away from me, let s stop Marie Lu s endings, [...]

EVEN MORE SNIPPETS This quote is quite upsetting Disappointing Alas another hole in the Teren and Adelina ship Me There s a lot of Magiano quotes everyone else s excitement playing in background Still me Maybe she ll kill him.I AM BACK WITH FRESH A LITTLE UN FRESH SNIPPETS non spoilery if you haven t read the rest of the series So what do you guys think Who do you Raffaele was defending My thoughts Possibly defending Adelina from Enzo Also who was Magiano talking to ADELINA AND TEREN SNIPPET tak [...]

That ending was so bittersweet I think I loved it The first half of the book was a little boring for me, and I had some issues with several things that happened, but all in all, I m satisfied with this conclusion It wasn t what I expected, that s for sure.And YES I shed a tear or two.

3.75, but I m rounding it down to three all the same because Marie Lu can do so much better, and this book left such a bad taste in my mouth, I ll need a Nutella based diet for the rest of my life These are only rumors, of course, and make little than a story to tell around the fire But it is told And thus they live on The first book in this series, The Young Elites is among my all time favourite books This simple fact, I think, tells enough about how much I cared and how many hopes I had for t [...]

EASILY ONE OF THE BEST ENDINGS I HAVE EVER READ I m not even kidding 4.5 stars and SO much love for Marie Lu NO major spoilers, all minor ones are hidden I cannot believe how amazing those last few chapters were This is easily my favorite book out of the trilogy It had a bit of a different feel to it than the first two because the focus wasn t so much on fighting other people or taking a throne It s about choices and sacrifice.The story starts with Adelina being queen and her brilliant antihero [...]

You are a thousand things, mi Adelinetta, not just one Do not reduce yourself to that That was sad, disappointing and upsetting I waited a year for this, only because I read Marie s, The Young Elites late, and that was when I thought I found a favorite author since I enjoyed both of her books I was quite wrong since I didn t enjoy Prodigy all that much like Legend I completely loved The Rose Society, and I was so excited for The Midnight Star that I was actually able to wait a year Now here I am [...]

I m glad to inform you of the creation of the Official Magiano s Protection Society Don t hesitate and join now if you think you satisfy the required conditions You think that sarcasm makes everything better You have a soft spot for tricksters and thieves You agree that really, stealing a formidable lute is an achievement to be proud of DUH You love your inner darkness as much as the next person maybe , but you reserve yourself the right to fall for the adorable but mischievous half mad light a [...]

We are doomed to be forever young The Young Elites.The Rose Society.I DO NOT MEAN TO DISCOURAGE ANYONE BY THIS This is just me being overprotective Even though i enjoyed the first two book immensely, i will not be finishing this series I spoiled myself about the entire book, and i couldn t be happier that i did I have already returned my book back to the store Farewell, Master Teren Santoro, and MI ADELINETTA 3This is not what i wanted for you, and i refuse to accept this horrific end Goodbye, [...]

3.75Part of me feels like this series ended with a whimper, instead of a bang TMS is not bad, but it s not the best Marie Lu could offer either, and I know, because I still have The Young Elites and Champion her best books so far imo clear in my mind.I honestly think Lu should have written a much longer conclusion to the series, because some things were anticlimatic That said, I wouldn t call The Midnight Star a disappointment it s coherent, it s well written and it does have some great characte [...]

PHEW.Why, if that wasn t the most laborious reading process of my life if ever I had one.okay, that s an exaggeration noitsnot The whispers taunt me Why Why It s a question they ask over and over again And my answer is always the same Shut the fuckity fuck up But no matter how many times I answer the whispers, they keep asking, because they don t believe me okyesitis Miiiight have tweaked the quote a little bit there, but that s how it bloody should ve been Sorry for just spoiling literally 70% [...]

Someday, when I am nothing but dust and wind, what tale will they tell about me Adelina, THE MIDNIGHT STARI say Thank you for this glorious trilogy, Marie Lu.

I m not going to lie and say this wasn t a sad book I also felt like maybe there should have been a little bit to it I felt like it was here you go, some evilness, some prophecies, some deaths, the end That being said, I m sort of glad it didn t drag out like some books Marie Lu got to the point of all things and brought it to where it was supposed to go I really want to put a wonderful myth from the book in my review but that will give away too much.I have loved Adelina through the whole book [...]

I ve loved Adelina from the very beginning of this series I love that she s ruthless and doesn t apologize for going after what she wants Sure she s maybe a bit crazy and definitely mean, but I have rooted for her from the first page.This portion of the journey is not what I was expecting I love where Marie went with it and the choices she made.Yes, I m being intentionally vague.Yes, I had a serious case of the feels.Yes, it will be worth the wait Huge thanks to G.P Putnam s Sons Books for Young [...]

A wonderful conclusion to this series, I love how Marie Lu does endings 3

Might edit the rating later, because I am influenced by that wonderful ending which, to be honest, was the highlight of the entire book I m a bit conflicted, yet satisfied I think I expected , possibly from the whole series My initial expectations and desires, to read a villain s tale, one filled with cunning and cleverness and ruthlessness, did somewhat materialize but combined with a dose of madness that partially stripped the beauty of the concept I m not gonna lie in terms of plot, this fina [...]

I refuse to accept this ending, goodbye.

Where will you go, when the clock strikes twelve What will you do, when you face yourself How will you live, knowing what you ve done How will you die, if your soul s already gone Story There was once a time when darkness shrouded the world, and the darkness had a queen After her victory Adelina is now queen of Kenettra But one city is not enough Slowly she conquers other cities, other countries.Soon she rules with fear and darkness As the war between the two groups go on something dark settles [...]

Some say that, once upon a time, she had a prince, a father, a society of friends Others say that she was once a wicked queen, a worker of illusions, a girl who brought darkness across the lands Still others say that she once had a sister, and that she loved her dearly Perhaps all of these are true I absolutely adore this entire series and for me, this was a fairly satisfying conclusion to the trilogy I think Marie Lu is great at endings, she leaves them open ended enough you can add to the worl [...]

4.75 OTHERWORLDLY STARS There was once a time when darkness shrouded the world, and the darkness had a queen Nope Nope Nooooope.This book has me sooooo damn conflicted, I don t even know where to start with this review or how to wrap my head around everything that s happened and that this trilogy just officially ended I don t even know whether I freaking love or absolutely loathe that godforsaken ending, I m just completely in shock right now.This is still one of the darkest series I have ever r [...]

You are a light, she replies gently And when you shine, you shine bright I m speechless The ending is purely beautiful and inspirational I loved Magiano, Adelina and Sergio, these characters are virile and push the story forward efficiently that I can t see how this book can be this good without them Marie Lu managed to link the myth of Gods and Goddesses with the superpowers of the Elites very well, power always comes with a prize and it must be paid sooner or later This was all the feels befor [...]

On 10 13 15 I just finished the Rose Society, what do I do with my life Whispers in my head You wait a year for your little White Wolf to come back and kill people 1 25 16This has a name now.Cool.10 12 16I just finished Midnight Star, what do I do with my life Whispers in my head Look at the stars for the White Wolf

Told you, I love the first two books, they are dark and intense in the way that I like and enjoy very much But this book I found the plot not that interesting The book is shot, but take me quite long to finish How can this happen I feel like the characters kinda lack their fascinating persinalities which I love, or maybe the story is just so so that it didnt grab me In spite of I LOVE the characters in this series, but after I face their fates view spoiler their death I didnt shocked hide spoile [...]

I am so disappointed.

We were never meant to exist, Adelina, he says And we will never exist again But we cannot take the entire world with us He meets my gaze No matter how it has wronged us As has been said, we are a part of the books we read, and the books we read become a part of us Well if that is true, I can honestly say, a part of me is missing This book stole a part of me and I don t think I will ever get it back And you know what That s okay It is sad, painful, undoubtedly beautiful and terribly bittersweet [...]

We can all do better We can all do better So, here I am, feeling emo as fuck after that ending Things I expected from The Midnight Star some sort of a happy, or at least, meaningful ending lots of epicness and crazy battles something different that wasn t in the other booksWhat I got Well, I definitely got something new different from this book a boring first half There s a lot of words I could use to describe this series, and I never thought boring would be one of them I literally felt like not [...]
