Student Review: Red Queen (Red Queen) by Victoris Aveyard



Mare Barrow is a Red, a normal girl in the servant class of humanity, but she is different. Silvers are all powerful, god-like, humans with abilities and silver blood. They are in power over each other and the Reds. Mare makes a desperate attempt to save her friend from the war, and in the process, discovers that she is different. She can do things she shouldn't be able to do because she's just a Red. Now Mare has to live with the Silvers and pretend to be one, because if she's discovered, she will die. This book is well written and has you nervous and anxious for what is going to happen next. It has great comedic and relate able moments as well as an air of romance without being too fluffy. It's action packed and mysterious; almost all genres in one! The author writes the story in a way that gets you connected to the characters faster than you'd even think was possible. You would like this book if you like ... The Percy Jackson series, or The Hunger Games series, dystopian novels, and high amounts of sarcasm.
