Red Queen
This review was originally posted on Star Crossed Reviews I received this book for free from Netgalley in exchange for an honest review. This does not affect my opinion of the book or the content of my review.Firstly thank you to Orion for accepting my request via Netgalley. I have had this book on my shelf for such a long time and I had heard so much about it that I thought it was about time I read it.
The first thing you notice about this book is the influence of other YA fantasy books. I don't think this is a bad thing. I enjoyed those books so this gave me hope for this book.
Mare Barrow thinks she's just a regular red who will live a red life and nothing exceptional will happen to her. She however is very wrong. Mare's life changes dramatically in this book. I like Mare. Sometimes I thought she was a bit naive and a little too trusting but on the whole she's a good person and she's just fighting to survive.
The twist in this book was good. Like really good. I didn't expect it and that made it all the better. I don't want to ruin anything so I won't mention any more on it.
I'm so glad I finally got round to reading this book and I immediately went on to book two (review coming shortly). I honestly cannot wait for book 3.
