What a ride! The Rose Society did not let me down. I loved almost everything about it, and the legacy of the Elites continues. The world building is awesome, as usual, and the new characters fit into the story fairly well. I was particularly captivated by Magiano and his carefree personality. To be honest, I didn't think I'd like him coming between Enzo and Adelina, but now, I'm really shipping them. I find that Enzo and Adelina have this fiery, passionate kind of love while Magiano is the light at the end of the tunnel. His love is what can truly rescue the White Wolf from the darkness. You can feel Adelina's alignments throughout the entire book. The descriptions are provided in perfect amounts, and the emotions are all so overwhelming. She wants so desperately to be forgiven by the Daggers but is so easily discouraged and angered when people give her the slightest levels of doubt. Deep inside though, Adelina holds the most fear and fury. She's vulnerable and refuses to ever show it. I just couldn't hate her. Once again, this book really toyed with my mind. It made me question what was right and wrong, good and bad. The one thing that bothered me was how powerful the Rose Society is. This was an issue in the first book too, and I mean, I get it, but it felt somewhat unfair. I really enjoy reading about them, yet it shows a degree of favoritism to the Roses. Anyway, I'm ready for the third book and definitely looking forward to the finale.
