The Midnight Star
by Marie Lu
The Midnight Star came out a week prior to authoring this review and I still have not recovered. If this were an emoji review, you'd find a whole lot of shocked faces, mad faces, and then a lot of ugly crying faces. But overall, there would also be a big content face at the end because The Young Elites trilogy ended with the most beautiful and perfect ending I could have asked for.
Oh, I was scared. I've been burned before. I've been singing Adelina's relative innocence in her depravity. She's misunderstood! Look at how society and her own parents treated her! Who could blame a girl?
Anyways, The Midnight Star is a beautiful ending to a gripping tale of one girl's rise to power. I so did not predict the direction it was going to take and that is totally fine by me. Trilogies have been pretty hot the last 10 years so how does The Midnight Start stack up next to its peers? Share your thoughts in the comments...Here are mine.
Mockingjay: About the same amount of trauma inflicted on all of the characters we've grown to know and love. If PTSD was a thing in the world of TYE, our main characters would need a whole bunch of therapy, just like our friends living in District 13.
Allegiant: Well, you won't find yourself regretting all the years you spent reading and waiting. The ending doesn't come out of left field - you're walked through it and there's a satisfying resolution.
The Selection/The One: You'll know when The Midnight Star is over, it's really over. No second set of books (side note: I love The Selection all the way through, but I understand about letting sleeping dogs lie).
Ignite Me: We all love romance but The Midnight Star does not focus on the romantic relationships between characters. This is Adelina's story and it's not muddled by a love triangle.
The Last Star: The Midnight Star could have been a one sentence ending with 300 more blank pages and it would have been better than The Last Star. But seriously, The Midnight Star honored each of its characters and gave everyone the time and space to resolve what needed to be resolved.
