I enjoyed the first book, The Young Elites but I think I enjoyed this novel a little bit more. This book had adventure nonstop. The Rose Society picks up shortly after The Young Elites ended and we are again pulled back into Adelina’s story pretty quickly. I've loved Adelina from the beginning. She's strong and still stubborn and isn't afraid to fight for what she wants. However, Adelina is now losing her grip and control. She is constantly fighting between the good and evil within herself. I also loved the incorporation of all these new Elites. It adds so many more to the story line. And I have to say MAGIANO is by far my favorite of the new characters. Overall the writing was powerful and the emotions came across well. So much happens, so much is revealed, and is so much darker than the fist book. Allies betray each other and enemies work together all to serve their own ends. In a way, I wanted to see Adelina reunite with the Daggers. Instead Adelina is now out of control. The last thirty pages made my heart race and made me tear up and fear for a certain character’s life. Im excited yet scared to see what will happen in the next book.
