Don't feel like the main character was as grey or dark as people say though, there's DEFINITELY something dark about her powers, but there's no dark in her, not anything that feels real.Īnd that's probably my biggest problem with it: I don't feel anything. Though I did like how different people drew magic strenght from different emotions, some by being happy, some by being scared or feeding of other people's fear. I'm surprised the main character didn't HAVE purple eyes, but I guess colorchanging hair was bad enough. And while some lines are more cheesy in Swedish than English, a lot of it is just sooo dramatical.Īnd it doesn't help that the mysterious disease that gives everyone powers and super-speshul beautiful features (though it pretends like they aren't beautiful due to their horrible scars) reminds me of that fake Mary Sue-disase that gave people purple eyes. I thought the writing in this one was terrible, and maybe some of it was lost in translation, but the constant use of "now" (yes, we know it's happening NOW, it's written in present tense!) and "then" can't have come from a bad translation, they must have been. So this is X-Men meets Assassin's Creed written by an author who wrote another series I really liked - how could it possibly go wrong? Yeah, seriously, how? I don't get it. And a desire to destroy all who dare to cross her. But of one thing they are all certain: Adelina has abilities that shouldn’t belong in this world. But the lives of these three will collide in unexpected ways, as each fights a very different and personal battle. But when the Daggers find Adelina, they discover someone with powers like they’ve never seen.Īdelina wants to believe Enzo is on her side, and that Teren is the true enemy. This secret sect of Young Elites seeks out others like them before the Inquisition Axis can. He believes the Young Elites to be dangerous and vengeful, but it’s Teren who may possess the darkest secret of all.Įnzo Valenciano is a member of the Dagger Society. As Leader of the Inquisition Axis, it is his job to seek out the Young Elites, to destroy them before they destroy the nation. But some of the fever’s survivors are rumored to possess more than just scars-they are believed to have mysterious and powerful gifts, and though their identities remain secret, they have come to be called the Young Elites. Her cruel father believes she is a malfetto, an abomination, ruining their family’s good name and standing in the way of their fortune. Adelina’s black hair turned silver, her lashes went pale, and now she has only a jagged scar where her left eye once was. Most of the infected perished, while many of the children who survived were left with strange markings. A decade ago, the deadly illness swept through her nation.
FROM GOODREADS: Adelina Amouteru is a survivor of the blood fever.
