Red Queen by Victoria Aveyard

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?

Hey everyone, its Sarah and I'm back with another book review. Today's review is on Red Queen by Victoria Aveyard.

The first thing I have to say about this book is that it is a great story. I immensely enjoyed the plot and the characters and I cannot wait for the sequel to come out but I have to wait till next year. It will definitely not be a book I forget about anytime soon.

The characters are fantastic. I think they are some of the best characters I have read this year and I really liked the main protagonist, Mare, who I think is a very strong character. Some of the other characters I think could have been developed a bit more, but perhaps that will happen in the sequel and we will get to see some of the characters, that were a bit more in the background, come to life.

The plotline was also fantastic. I loved how the story developed and I never really knew what was coming next. The big plot twist at the end though wasn’t that much of a surprise. After hearing all about this massive plot twist that would blow my mind and I wouldn’t be able to handle it, made me wait for something big to happen. The massive blow never hit me though because I figured out small things hear and there, which didn’t make the reveal so amazing. However, the plot twist was great and if you aren’t expecting it than anyone reading it would be surprised.

The only thing bad I have to say about this book is the world development, and then it still isn’t that bad. Personally, I think, Victoria Aveyard could have gone more in with the world and given us some more depth to what the world is like. I had an image in my mind throughout the book, like a medieval meets modern day technology, but it wasn’t that clear. I would have liked some more description to help given me a cleaner image. That said, the book isn’t confusing in its world, you can understand it all; a more in-depth description though would have been great.

But overall this is all I have to say about this book, I have given it and five out of five stars and cannot wait for the sequel.

But that’s all for now.

I’ll write you soon.
