What three words best describe Amanda Dolan’s voice? It moved way too slow and was too depressing. What was most disappointing about Victoria Aveyard’s story? The main character kept reminding you of how miserable she is and how terrible of a person she is.


I loved the first book so I was very excited to read this. Will she shatter under the weight of the lives that are the cost of rebellion? Or have treachery and betrayal hardened her forever? But Mare finds herself on a deadly path, at risk of becoming exactly the kind of monster she is trying to defeat. Pursued by Maven, now a vindictive king, Mare sets out to find and recruit other Red-and-Silver fighters to join in the struggle against her oppressors. The crown calls her an impossibility, a fake, but as she makes her escape from Maven, the prince - the friend - who betrayed her, Mare uncovers something startling: She is not the only one of her kind. Mare Barrow's blood is red - the color of common folk - but her Silver ability, the power to control lightning, has turned her into a weapon that the royal court tries to control. The electrifying next installment in the Red Queen series escalates the struggle between the growing rebel army and the blood-segregated world they've always known - and pits Mare against the darkness that has grown in her soul.
