“You look well enough,” I say. I tilt my head slightly at him. “Less filthy than the last time I visited. You’ve been eating and drinking.” There were several weeks when he refused all food, when I thought he might intentionally starve himself to death. But he is still here.

The Midnight Star is the final book in Marie Lu’s The Young Elites trilogy about a girl pushed to the brink, who gives into the darkness inside her, becoming a villain for what she believes are all the right reasons. Read my full review here. Cover is linked to Goodreads.

From the Goodreads Synopsis:

      “Adelina Amouteru is done suffering. She’s turned her back on those who have betrayed her and achieved the ultimate revenge: victory. Her reign as the White Wolf has been a triumphant one, but with each conquest her cruelty only grows. The darkness within her has begun to spiral out of control, threatening to destroy all that she’s achieved.”
