Victoria Aveyard - Red Queen - Review

Red Queen - is a young adult fantasy novel written by American writer Victoria Aveyard.

Hello, my friends! Thanks for coming! Today I am going to talk about a book called Red Queen!

Red Queen: Collector's Edition

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. It’s the only means with which she can support her family. But time is running out. Like her brothers, she sees a future of conscription for herself. Her eighteenth birthday is looming, and without a job to pardon her, she is set to enter the frontline. And it scares her. The thought of war, the idea of leaving her sweet, innocent sister behind, the idea of waving goodbye to her parents, yet another member of the family unable to support them. However, as life may have it, her seventeen years of familiar suffering are about to take a different turn. As in, she’ll suffer, just by various means. You see, Mare is discovered to be an impossibility, the secret that could topple an already precarious hierarchy. Society is ruled by the silvers. They are a race seemingly set apart by God. They have usurped the title. As abnormalities defying the mundane genetic makeup, they are creatures to be feared. You can go either two ways with that—to the ditches or raised upon a throne. The Silvers are blessed with the latter. They are Gods in the arena of life.

I enjoyed Mare and her vision of a better world for Reds.

Red Queen 4-Book Hardcover Box Set: Books 1-4

If you think that there will be no sacrifices/collateral damages to getting the freedom desired, well then you might be quite shocked! The betrayer is mind-blowing. As a Red with a Silver aptitude, Mare is dropped into a dangerous game. It is a political desire that keeps her alive. While her days are limited to however long she can stay in line, Mare is given a route out of the slums, away from her fate of the war. In a bid to placate the hunger for a rebellion, she becomes a Red in disguise as a Silver, betrothed to the King’s second son. From there on out, it is a game of chess.

The characters were fantastic. We have a set of characters that are tenuous in their beliefs but deep down, they are flawed. Tragically, deeply and realistically.

Mare Barrow reeks of desperation. She’s in it to survive. She knows the stakes, and I appreciated her character growth as she realizes that there is a more significant cause at hand. Cal, the crown prince, lives under the delusion of hierarchy. And he attempts to seek the easier route. About the romance, We all know that there’s going to be one. And there is. One that is so incredibly hard.

The action sequences were incredible. Red Queen digs a little deeper, exploring political themes, alliances and the ultimate consequence of repressing a race.
