This was an awesome read! There is a lot of buzz surrounding this book since it was released and I was worried that it would disappoint, but I am happy to say that it did not. I turned the pages as fast as I could and I lost sleep over this book. For anyone who enjoys a good dystopian, I definitely would recommend this one. Victoria Aveyard needs to write faster as I NEED to get my hands on the next book!!
About the Book:
Mare Barrow’s world is divided by blood–those with common, Red blood serve the Silver- blooded elite, who are gifted with superhuman abilities. Mare is a Red, scraping by as a thief in a poor, rural village, until a twist of fate throws her in front of the Silver court. Before the king, princes, and all the nobles, she discovers she has an ability of her own.
To cover up this impossibility, the king forces her to play the role of a lost Silver princess and betroths her to one of his own sons. As Mare is drawn further into the Silver world, she risks everything and uses her new position to help the Scarlet Guard–a growing Red rebellion–even as her heart tugs her in an impossible direction. One wrong move can lead to her death, but in the dangerous game she plays, the only certainty is betrayal.
