Today I wanted to share my review of the Red Queen series by Victoria Aveyard. I recently reread all of the books in preparation for War Storm to come out this year.
First of all, these covers are gorgeous! That's what drew me to pick these books up in the first place. The story is just as great as the covers.
Mare Barrow was born red, which means she's a commoner. The silver-blooded are the upper class and royalty. Mare gets called to the palace to become a servant and discovers she has a power. She is the first red-blooded to have been found with a power, so the King and Queen hide her away presenting her as a silver blood. It is full of adventures and epic battles throughout the series.
I really enjoyed the writing style and the characters. There were parts that were slow paced. The first book is by far my favorite in the series so far. The second book was mainly a build up for the third book and not a lot happened until the end. There was so much going on in the third book, but the ending disappointed me. It was a huge cliffhanger that left me wanting to read the next book. There are so many twists and turns in this story that I never saw coming. I can't wait for the fourth book to come out to see how Victoria Aveyard concludes this series.
My favorite character in the series is Maven. He is such a complex character and I love reading his parts in the books. I really hope Mare ends up with him, but I highly doubt that is going to happen. I also really like Farley. She is full of spunk and I love her personality. She is a go-getter and doesn't let people boss her around.
Thanks for stopping by. Let me know what your thoughts are on the Red Queen series in the comments.
