Summary:
'Red Queen' is written by Victoria Aveyard. It's about a world in which there are two classes of people. Red bloods and silver bloods. Silver bloods are thought of like royalty with god-like powers. And the red bloods are your common lower class citizens. The main characters name is Mare and she's the main focus. Mare one day is working in the palace, watching some silver blooded girls battle for the hand of the prince. All of a sudden something happens and Mare releases some pretty awesome powers. But how can that be? She's not a silver blood.
Well, after the show Mare puts on, the royal family decides she was the missing daughter of some lost silver blood family who's finally been discovered. They want to hide the fact she's a red blood. They decide to keep a close watch on her by having her get engaged to the younger of the two princes. Who seems nice in the beginning.....but you're in for a HUGE plot twist.Mare has to navigate her way amongst silver bloods, not ever bleed in public, and not fall in love with the once prince she can't have, and stop an upcoming war between the two social class.
Thoughts:
This book literally grabs me and it's just so good. I love how Aveyard wrote the book. Mare's character is different. different from Bella from the twilight series and different from Lucinda from the fallen series. I didn't want to just shake her and tell her she's being stupid. I highly recommend this book to any young adult reader who likes romance, fantasy, and major plot twists.
I had borrowed this book from the public library, and I actually plan on buying it sometime in the future. Again, great, great book.
