A review by oliviacholewczynski
The Rose Society by Marie Lu

5.0

I didn't think I would need this book as much as I did. Marie Lu is such a great writer and this book was so much fun to read!! Honestly, the first book was pretty dark, but that's because we weren't expecting it. In the Rose Society, we are fully aware of Adelina's inner darkness, so it's more like "woah what are you going to do now" or "that's pretty ruthless" versus "why is the main character so evil?!"

Also the setting is flawless. Reading this book, I felt like I was in Renaissance Italy. The characters are so defined in their design and personality. You can never get bored with this bunch.

BONUS: Really great ending, I can't wait for the Midnight Star to come out.
