Victoria Aveyard - Red Queen - Review

Victoria Aveyard - Red Queen - Review Red Queen - is a young adult fantasy novel written by American writer Victoria Aveyard. H ello, my friends! Thanks for coming! Today I am going to talk about a book called Red Queen! Red Queen is the fantasy that I’ve been searching for. You’ve probably all heard the comparisons before and honestly, they speak the truth. Red Queen took the best elements of all our favorites tales and smushed them into one phenomenal book with an equally addictive storyline. Red Queen series with glass sword is a very interesting plot. The author created her own world. There are cars and screens and cameras. So it can’t be a historical setting, but I wouldn’t think it to be a science-fiction one either. It was relatively easy to immerse into the storyline. Mare (the heroine) is incontestably fearless, somewhat reckless, badass wants the best for her people and tries to free them with as much power as she can. Mare Barrow is a highly agile pickpocket...
