Adelina is an Elite which only recently discovers her powers that are unlike any other. being tangled with a man named Enzo and his group of Elites up against Teren the Lead inquisitor for the king. her power causes emotional conflict for all of them.
Assesment
A great book if you want a good fantasy. Even though the book has little reference to magic, the ability of the young elites make up for that. One of the most clever things that Marie Lu had added to the book is that it has no hero. Even the main character isn't a hero. She's more of an anti-hero. I'll suggest the book to teen's and young adults and rate this 5 stars.
