The poverty stricken Reds are commoners, living under the rule of the Silvers, elite warriors with god-like powers.
To Mare Barrow, a 17-year-old Red girl from The Stilts, it looks like nothing will ever change.
Mare finds herself working in the Silver Palace, at the centre of
those she hates the most. She quickly discovers that, despite her red blood, she possesses a deadly power of her own. One that threatens to destroy Silver control.
But power is a dangerous game. And in this world divided by blood, who will win?
Red Queen… too much for words. Aveyard created a world that
was intricate with superb worldbuilding. The Silvers and Reds were divided and
yet still held in equilibrium. Somehow the characters were intangibly linked,
but at the last minute turned backs and created a showdown that was unexpected, yet opened unheard of doors for the sequel. The no-nonesense writing style of
Victoria Avyeard was inexplicably used that let for a quick, simple read and no
over analyzation of the text. The plot was the starring role in the book
however showing what weight the feels carry with how I slapped my head for not
seeing the twists and turns headed my way.
