The midnight star by marie lu5/8/2023 ![]() ![]() "Without giving away too many spoilers, I'll say that Adelina spends book three understanding what she really wants," Lu says. ![]() "All I can say is that the third book follows a path that I think fits Adelina." "How do you end a story where the main villain is actually the main character? I wanted to make sure the ending felt appropriate given the characters and their gray journeys," Marie Lu tells Bustle. Will she get a 'happily ever after'? Or will she meet a more sinister fate - an ending befitting a villain? In The Midnight Star, the final installment of the series, Lu will finally reveal her plans for Adelina. But what happens when her power proves to be much too overwhelming? Over the course of the first two novels, readers watched as Adelina descended further and further into darkness in her ruthless quest for power and revenge. Adelina is one such malfetto - a Young Elite - as she has the power to manipulate illusions. Some of these malfettos were also blessed with a supernatural power. Adelina Amouteru, also known as the White Wolf, is a malfetto, a person who survived a lethal 'blood fever' as a child and was left with a physical mark - in her case: a missing eye, a scarred face, and hair that has turned white as snow. In fact, her New York Times bestselling series, The Young Elites, features a protagonist who also happens to be the major villain. Marie Lu isn't afraid of dark, twisted characters. ![]()
