Friday 56 and Book Beginnings: The Young Elites by Marie Lu

This is a weekly meme hosted by Freda's Voice

These are the rules:

1. Grab a book, any book.

2. Turn to page 56, or 56% on your eReader.

3. Find any sentence (or a few, just don't spoil it) that grabs you.

4. Post it.

5. Add the URL to your post in the link on Freda's most recent Friday 56 post.

Please join us over at RoseCityReader every Friday to share the first sentence (or so) of the book you are reading, along with your initial thoughts about the sentence, impressions of the book, or anything else the opener inspires. Please remember to include the title of the book and the author’s name.

I read this book around the time it came out. And since I just started the books I am currently reading I didn't really feel like moving ahead in those books, so I am using a book I've already finished. If you want, you can read my review of this book here.
