// waiting on wednesday: the rose society by marie lu

I've always seen Waiting on Wednesday meme on my favourite blogs so I finally decided and join in. "Waiting on Wednesday" is an event, that happens every week and is hosted by Breaking the Spine. It spotlights upcoming releases that we're eagerly anticipating.

This week's pre-publication that I can't wait to get my hands on is The Rose Society by Marie Lu and is the sequel to The Young Elites.

Title: The Rose Society (The Young Elites, #2)
Author: Marie LuPublication: 13th of October 2015 by G.P Putnam and Sons books for Young Readers
Genre: Fantasy

Synopsis:

Once upon a time, a girl had a father, a prince, a society of friends. Then they betrayed her, and she destroyed them all.

Adelina Amouteru’s heart has suffered at the hands of both family and friends, turning her down the bitter path of revenge. Now known and feared as the White Wolf, she and her sister flee Kenettra to find other Young Elites in the hopes of building her own army of allies. Her goal: to strike down the Inquisition Axis, the white-cloaked soldiers that murdered her love, the Crown Prince Enzo Valenciano.

But Adelina is no heroine. Her powers, fed only by fear and hate, have started to grow beyond her control. She does not trust her newfound Elite friends. Teren Santoro, leader of the Inquisition, wants her dead. And her former friends, Raffaele and the Dagger Society, want to stop her thirst for vengeance. Adelina struggles to cling to the good within her. But how can someone be good, when her very existence depends on darkness?

Blurb: 

I really enjoyed reading The Young Elites and I cannot wait to get my hands on the sequel. I need it. I need it right now and I just want October to come quicker. I have so many questions that need answers. It's a tad bit cruel with how Marie Lu ended the first book. I can't wait to see Adelina's character develop. I want to know if she'll embrace the darkness and grow to be power hungry. I want to know if my favourite character is still alive. I want to get to know Maeve and why she can bring back the dead. Basically to sum it all up, I just really really want this book. 

Have you read The Young Elites? Are you eager to get a copy of The Rose Society too? Who was your favourite character and why?
