Title: Red Queen Author: Victoria Aveyard Genre: Fantasy This is a world divided by blood - red or silver. The Reds are commoners, ruled by a Silver elite in possession of god-like superpowers. And to Mare Barrow, a seventeen-year-old Red girl from the poverty-stricken Stilts, it seems like nothing will ever change. That is, until she finds herself working in the Silver Palace. Here, surrounded by the people she hates the most, Mare discovers that, despite her red blood, she possesses a deadly power of her own. One that threatens to destroy the balance of power.Fearful of Mare's potential, the Silvers hide her in plain view, declaring her a long-lost Silver princess, now engaged to a Silver prince. Despite knowing that one misstep would mean her death, Mare works silently to help the Red Guard, a militant resistance group, and bring down the Silver regime.But this is a world of betrayal and lies, and Mare has entered a dangerous dance - Reds against Silvers, prince against prince, and Mare against her own heart. Review This book is literally a roller coaster of events. You never know who to trust! I love Mare's character because through this whole journey Mare is never blinded by any lies. Each chapter brings something new and moves the story a long. The ending is perhaps where the book really shines and the cloak and dagger twist is done very well. She gave you hints along the way but I still didn’t really see it coming. I would really love to see either more character building or world building. Personally I want the former, as I like to love my characters. But all in all this is an amazing book you just have to read. 4.5/5*
