This second volume of this four-novel YA fantasy series takes the plot a lot further. Mare leads a countermove against Maven, building up her forces but at a cost. The book is full of action and machinations and I enjoyed the way that the plot develops. A few new interesting characters are introduce...
Ugh. I was hoping this book would get better for me than the first. Based on some reviews, I knew there was a risk it wouldn't, but a girl can hope, right? Mare started out in the first book as kind of a badass. Then by the end of book one, she turned a bit whiny. Now, at the end of book two, she'...
I found this one really boring compared to Red Queen. I think the plot just moved along too slowly.I also got confused a time or two when I misread a sentence because it wasn't immediately clear that Aveyard was referring to a character's ability. For example a sentence like "She saw two eyes" not r...
I first read this book last year in March. I decided to re-read it, after re-reading Red Queen and before starting King's Cage (still haven't received my copy, but it's supposed to be here next week!) See my original review on Goodreads. My rating is still the same and I don't have a lot to add ...
If there’s one thing Mare Barrow knows, it’s that she’s different. Mare Barrow’s blood is red—the color of common folk—but her Silver ability, the power to control lightning, has turned her into a weapon that the royal court tries to control. The crown calls her an impossibility, a fake, but as she ...
One thing I will say about this book series is that I am slowly growing to find the protagonist more annoying that I thought I would when I started on Red Queen. She keeps going back and forwards about what she wants with little to no regard for other characters, who she is willing to treat like dir...
This was an incredibly hard book to rate. Part of me wanted to give it one star, but another part of me has this grudging respect for the way she's taking the series. This was not a fun read. I did not enjoy reading this book. That wasn't the biggest problem I had with it: the pace is unbearably s...
I have become more, more than we could ever have dreamed. It frightens me. My ability is my most prized possession, even though it separates me from everyone else. But for power, for my own power, it is a price I am willing to pay. I’m not without my own weapons. The low thrum in my blood is all I...
Okay, so I just finished "Glass Sword" by Victoria Aveyard and I can't control myself. I can't believe that ending! I mean everything was going so smoothly, they saved people, they killed the queen, the stupid guy with the red eye was finally less of an ass and then BAM! How, just how am I suppose t...
Here is my most awaited book of 2016. Major excitement usually comes with a major let down. My 3 stars are extremely generous to say the least. I’m not sure if it’s second book syndrome or something else. I started out loving it and then it all fell apart. FYI, I 5 starred Red Queen. It was one of m...
