Speak The Midnight Star

exactly what I wanted

Good

Che conclusione perfetta. Non mi ha mai annoiata, i personaggi sono fedeli a se stessi e Adelina (E MAGIANO) rimarrà per molto tempo nel mio cuore.Unico consiglio: preparate tanti fazzoletti per affrontare la lettura!

El final de los Young Elites?Posibles Spoilers de la trilogía en gral y el libro, The Midnight StarSOBRE EL LIBRO:La historia de Adelina y compañía continua años después de donde nos dejó el último libro. El reino de terror que Adelina creó se expande por toda la tierra. Cuando la ambición de nuestra anti heroína no parece tener fin, un mensaje de un viejo amigo pidiendo por su ayuda llega para hacerla entrar en razón, a raíz de esto Adelina y sus rosas deben aliarse con las Dagas y viejos enemigos para emprender un viaje y salvar el mundo que conocen antes de que sea muy tarde.OPINION PERSONAL DE LA HISTORIA:La escritura de la autora Marie Lu mejora y crece mucho más desde el primer libro (The Young Elites), en lo personal yo pensé que la trilogía tendría un final diferente al que nos presenta el libro.La historia termina bien en general, y el desarollo del personaje principal es muy bueno al igual que los demás personajes que logran evolucionar conforme la trilogía llega al final. Sin embargo siento que los primeros dos libros (The Young Elites y The Rose Society) llevan la historia por un lado para al final terminarla con un giro en donde nuestra protagonista logra redimirse al final.Aunque en al historia podemos ver elementos que ya hemos visto en otros comics o libros (X-Men/Game of Thrones) estas encajan perfecto en el viaje de Adelina que Marie Lu nos relata, lo más atractivo de esto a mi parecer es que en lugar de tener al típico personaje principal, la autora nos presenta a una anti heroína que hará de todo por salirse con la suya, pero al final logra redimirse y dejar de alguna forma u otra su marca en el mundo.A pesar de que los primeros dos libros dejaron la bara muy alta para esta tercera parte (en mi opinión) y mis expectativas eran muchas, sin duda alguna recomiendo esta trilogía (y este libro, claro), si tienen dudas sobre leerla o no, denle una oportunidad, ya verán que quedarán enganchados desde el primer libro.SOBRE EL SERVICIO DE AMAZON:El libro lo compré en Diciembre (pero apenas lo leí) y me llego muy rápido pero maltratado, por lo cual solicité un cambio a Amazon y ellos sin pensarlo me enviaron otro nuevo y en condiciones mucho mejores. Sin duda esto nos demuestra que la prioridad de Amazon somos sus clientes y ofrecernos un buen servicio a todos.

I've been on a hiatus from blogging because my work life has been so hectic. I have two reviews to post up, this one being included. Thank you for not abandoning me, and taking the time to read my opinions about the books that I read. It means so much to me. Thank you!The Midnight Star is the conclusion to Marie Lu's The Young Elites trilogy. Adelina is by far one of the most captivating characters I've ever had the pleasure of reading. From the very first book, I've always felt like loving her was like a "guilty pleasure", if you will. It felt rebellious liking her because she's never been on the "straight and narrow" path. Her motives for doing the things that she's done have always been questionable. Marie Lu continues that characterization in The Midnight Star and forces all those who actually like Adelina, to question our own morals and beliefs.Adelina is the darkest she's ever been. Now deemed a Queen by conquest, she's ruthless to those who aren't gifted, those who don't bare the mark like all Young Elites. She's a young woman who has been deemed a monster since day one, and wants to seek revenge on those who crucified her for being different. Her darkness gets ever more sinister when her shadow power begins to eat away at her. They become more and more uncontrollable, and at times we see Adelina begin to unravel at the seams.The gods play a major role in this book. We find out more information about how the Young Elites came to be, and just what is at stake for these young individuals who are gifted with powers only Gods are capable of having. Without discussing specific details of the plot, I will say that there's a price to be paid for all of their abilities, and that debt has come knocking. Friends and foes must join forces to stop what's happening.The ending was so hard for me to read. I didn't know how to feel to be honest. I couldn't believe what I was reading. After some careful marination, I firmly believe Marie Lu did the right thing with the decisions she has made in the conclusion. It was so poetic and honestly, justice, whether I like it or not, was finally had. In the end, I'm surprised I expected anything differently.Readers, go out and pick up this book today. It's filled with love, hate, and retribution. Watch how these characters navigate their realm, and allow yourself to question your own ambiguous behaviors. This book was very much a reflection of humanity when they are tested. Succeed or fail, you must find out what happens by reading it for yourself.

I really could not stop crying after i finished the book. The folktale of Angel Compasia and her swan was so very marvellous. We are lucky to be graced by the presence of an aspiring author like Marie Lu on this planet. The gave me a whole new angle of Adelina and her love for her sister.
