The #1 New York Times bestselling series!

Red Queen, by #1 New York Times bestselling author Victoria Aveyard, is a sweeping tale of power, intrigue, and betrayal, perfect for fans of George R.R. Martin’s Game of Thrones series.

Mare Barrow's world is divided by blood—those with common, Red blood serve the Silver-blooded elite, who are gifted with superhuman abilities. Mare is a Red, scraping by as a thief in a poor, rural village, until a twist of fate throws her in front of the Silver court. Before the king, princes, and all the nobles, she discovers she has an ability of her own.

To cover up this impossibility, the king forces her to play the role of a lost Silver princess and betroths her to one of his own sons. As Mare is drawn further into the Silver world, she risks everything and uses her new position to help the Scarlet Guard—a growing Red rebellion—even as her heart tugs her in an impossible direction.

One wrong move can lead to her death, but in the dangerous game she plays, the only certainty is betrayal.

Alright

honestly, I struggled to finish. In fact, I skipped to the end.

Very similar to Red Rising

This story was very similar to Red Rising. I enjoyed it, but it's been done before.

Loved this book!

Hard to tell between actual quotes and narrators thoughts. Other than that, LOVED this book. Hoping for a series or conclusion with the defeat of the bad guys!!!

Predictable Fun

Maybe because it's a YA novel, I guessed a few key plot points before they happened. However, the climactic action scenes at the end were completely engaging. I look forward to the rest of the series.

The narrator was good overall, but said some lines a little too whiny for my taste. I still think it's worth a listen.

Wow

I was on the edge of my seat, even though I knew some of the twist and turns would come the still made me screech.
it was a great experience.
