Rezension von Natália Oliveira<blockquote><b><i>“But true rulers are not born. We are made.” </i></b></blockquote> This book left me shocked and anxious to pick up the final installment. Adelina's story evolves in such an unexpected, dark way and Lu manages to make the reader feel for her despite all the awful things she does. I love a good origin story and I like this idea that villains are not born, they are made and Marie Lu manages to write a compelling character that slowly descends into madness and darkness and become this cruel villain, but you can't help but feel that she could have somehow be saved and that there were things that went terribly wrong for her and pushed her towards this path. I also enjoyed that no one was this pure-hearted, morally good character - all of them, Rafaelle, Enzon, Teren, even Violetta, were morally grey and sometimes did things that should be frown upon, no matter if they were for protection or for the greater good of things. All the characters felt real because of that and had their own complexities and individual plots. I loved the new characters, especially Magiano and Maeve, and they contributed greatly not only to move the plot along but to the relationships in the story. I can't wait to see more from them and how everything will conclude after the explosive events of this second book (THAT FINAL SEQUENCE OF EVENTS,OMG!)
