An Amazon Best Book of the Month, October 2014! Chosen as a YALSA Teens' Top Ten Pick for 2015! "Lu pivots from the 'coming of age via romance' formula to pry apart the many emotions that pass under the rubric of love... There's nothing easy here, for Adelina or readers--there are no safe places where the pressures of betrayal, death threats, and rejection aren't felt."-- Publishers Weekly , starred review "Readers should prepare to be captivated--and to look forward to a continuation of the Young Elites series."-- Booklist , starred review "A must for fans of...totally immersive fantasies." -- Kirkus Reviews , starred review "A Game of Thrones meets X-Men in this 14th-century fantasy from Marie Lu (the Legend trilogy), in a world where 'fear is power.' ... The overriding epic fantasy will keep readers hooked for book two, which teases to be a game-changer. Bring it on." -- Shelf Awareness , starred review "The taut, tightly packed narrative provides an engaging mix of pulse-quickening fight scenes, heart-stopping near escapes, touching interpersonal interludes, and devastating betrayals." -- BCCB , starred review "Lu weaves her magic across the page as she unfolds the story of Adelina and the Young Elites. Nothing is as it is expected."-- VOYA "Lu seamlessly melds an unforgettable and intoxicating historical fantasy narrative with a strong female protagonist that grapples with an issue experienced by all young adults--acceptance of one's self... Lu's new series will be a surefire hit with old and new fans alike."-- School Library Journal "By permitting her characters some grand failures, she raises the stakes in the best way possible...There is clearly more to know, and I look forward to it. This is a world worth revisiting."-- The New York Times Book Review Praise for The Rose Society: A #1 New York Times bestseller! "A tightly woven tapestry of a story that ensnares even as it disturbs."-- Booklist, starred review "Lu constructs a fascinating triangle of opposing forces seeking power, and the ensuing twists and epic battles leave many dead, broken, or forever changed."-- Publishers Weekly, starred review "Original and sobering, Adelina is an antihero of nigh-unremitting darkness: an unusual young woman in the mold of such archetypes as Lucifer, Macbeth, and Darth Vader."-- Kirkus Reviews "Teens will be fascinated to watch the main character descend into villainy and revel in it."-- School Library Journal
