Red Queen (4/5)





Red Queen
Victoria Aveyard



Red Queen tells the story of Mare Barrow, a poor girl in a world divided by blood. The reds work and serve the silvers, who are the high and mighty race, (and they also have sick super powers) While thieving to save her family, Mare is given a job by a kind man, who turns out to be a prince. While working in the castle, Mare discovers that she is something strange. She has red blood, but she has the power of a silver. Mare is passed off as a long lost princess, and must keep up the charade to save her life and her family. However, "anyone can betray anyone"


This book is great. The pace is fantastic, captivating the reader from the first page. Even though the dystopian troupe is so overused, this book somehow still prevails while being dystopian. The glittering and deadly details of the silvers and their palace captivated me, and the adventure and action keeps you on the edge of your seat. I gave this book 4 stars. It was great, but not what I would consider a favorite. I feel like i did not obsess over this book like the rest of the world, but i still thoroughly enjoyed reading it. And I can't wait to read the sequel that recently came out.
