Slow Start

 The Rose Society by Marie Lu

This book started really slow and I don't know if that was because it's been a while since I read book one and it took some time to get back into this world and these characters or because this book just started slow. Like, I was not enjoying it and was wondering why I was reading this series, it started so slow. Adelina is dark, not ever morally grey; she is fully the bad guy in this book but you can't blame her for all of her decisions. None of the Elites are good people at this point. However, Raffaele figures out that their powers are destroying them from the inside out and Adelina does not care. But, he does not share his findings with anyone else either. The Prince is back from the dead, stronger than ever, and his life is tied to Adelina's but he has left her to rejoin with his Elites, he does this after finding out what she did in order to be the one he was tied to. This was messy and dramatic once it finally got going. It was a slow start, but the finish was strong enough to keep me interested in how the trilogy ends.
