This is my least favorite book of the series so far. Will Mare and the Kingdom of Norta survive this epic battle? Cal, ever in love with her, will stop at nothing to see her safe return. While Mare is paraded in front of royals for their amusement, her new blood friends continue training and organizing in preparation for war. Mare is a prisoner in the boy king’s palace, ever under the influence of silent stone. In the third book of the Red Queen Series, we not only get Mare’s point-of-view but also Cameron and Evangeline. I gave it 3 stars out of 5 and look forward to reading the next two in the series. I didn’t find it as predictable as the first one, and the ending was a big twist. While recruiting, Mare struggles with not becoming the thing she is fighting against.Īgain, I DID enjoy this book, but it’s like so many other books in the Young Adult genre these days. Now on the run from the vindictive king Maven, she is on the hunt for other Reds with powers like hers. Mare Barrow is back in the second book of the Red Queen series. Read the ebook on Overdrive or listen to the audiobook on Hoopla. It could have been more immersive and had more in-depth detail into the future world the characters live in.

I just found it predictable and very similar to many other books in the same genre. I didn’t dislike this book I rather enjoyed it. One part 1984, one part Hunger Games, one part X-Men, One part Game of Thrones, and one part Divergent. From inside the palace, she helps a Red militia to overthrow an unjust government, but anyone can betray anyone. To disguise her from the populace, the Silver royals hide her as a Silver princess and betroth her to a prince. Mare Barrow, a seventeen-year-old Red girl from a poverty-stricken area, discovers that although she is Red she can control electricity. On the other side are the Silvers, people with superhero-like powers. On one side are the Reds, common everyday people.
