A decade ago, the deadly illness swept through Adelina's nation. Most of the infected perished, while many of the children who survived were left with strange markings and SUPERPOWERS (well some of them)! Her cruel father believes she is an abomination ruining their family’s good name and abuses her because he wishes to exploit her gifts if she has any. After she murders her father while trying to escape him,The Dagger Society seeks her out and saves her from execution. She finds out that Enzo, the leader of the Dagger Society, only saved her because he wants to regain his throne and I'll give you a hint about how it ends: Not well.
Characters were well developed, writing was fine, world building could've been better but I liked the concept. Very original!
I felt like I was watching a good action movie. I just didn't feel like I was LIVING through a good action movie. Connection was missing, but I definitely want to see how the second book goes.
*Crossing fingers and hopes that Teren stops being and ass*
"You have three days," he says in a low voice. "If you go back on your word again, I will shoot an arrow through your sister’s neck and out the back of her skull"
I might be going to hell for this, but Marie Lu, PLEASE KILL HIM !!!
