Synopsis

"Where do you find safety when your world is falling apart? 
Apprentice Flick thought the Elite Academy was the answer to all her problems. But the revelation of her past turned everything upside down. Now, she is caught between two worlds set on a collision course. 
Will she embrace the chaotic memories that flood her every waking moment? Or will she run to the security of her Elite training? 
Discovering her parents’ identities takes her to a secret underground bunker where she finds new friends, opportunities, and maybe even love. But Flick must decide where her allegiances lie soon, or the Triumph of Love festival might bring about her demise."

Goodreads review by Kate on July 13, 2022

After holding out for an admirably long time (more than two weeks 😱), I caved and bought the second book. I'm not sure what I was expecting, but it definitely wasn't this. 🤯🤯 I really loved the unexpected plot direction that strengthened the themes even more.

Goodreads review by Megan on July 30, 2021

Just as good as its predecessor (which is the much deserved Realm Makers Book of the Year Apprentice!). I was absolutely blown away by the encouragement packed into this thrilling story.

Quotes

“The Matrix meets Divergent in this sensational dystopian novel! Every suspense-filled chapter kept me on the edge of my seat wondering if Flick would survive or be caught. I barely ate or slept for two days as I consumed this book and the end left me yearning for the next installment. Easily the best young adult novel I have read this year!” — Morgan L. Busse, awarding-winning author of the Ravenwood Saga and Skyworld series

“A gripping, unpredictable journey that keeps you guessing, never knowing who to trust. Elite unravels the eerie world of the Love Collective and delivers the perfect heroine you can’t help but root for. In this second installment of the Collective Underground series, Young paints a beautiful allegory of hope and love persevering through tangled darkness.” — Sandra Fernandez Rhoads, author of the Colliding Line series

“Another strong, compelling narrative from Young with great characters and just enough tension to keep the pages turning even though I really needed to sleep. Apprentice Flick must figure out who to trust... and who not to, as she navigates through her world which has been completely turned upside down. A great next installment in the Collective Underground series.” — Cecily Anne Paterson, author of Invisible
