The #1 New York Times bestselling series!

Red Queen, by #1 New York Times bestselling author Victoria Aveyard, is a sweeping tale of power, intrigue, and betrayal, perfect for fans of George R.R. Martin’s Game of Thrones series.

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.

Discover more wonders in the world of Red Queen with Broken Throne: A Red Queen Collection, a companion novel with stories from fan favorites and new voices, featuring never-before-seen maps, flags, bonus scenes, journal entries, and much more exclusive content!

I enjoyed this audiobook. It is well narrated. The story is entertaining, though a bit predictable, at times. The characters are relateable and I definitely wanted to know how things would pan out for everyone, but if you have read similar books, you know where this is going.

Enjoyable

The Epilogue made me so mad! The "big twist" was so fricking obvous! Anyway... Not life changing, but not bad either. It’s an entertaining, very YA style dystopia that hits all the familiar beats. The book is filled with rebellions, royalty, and the "chosen one” with trust issues. The book does tackle big themes: class division, propaganda, performative politics, racism. All done in a pretty thoughtful way, even if the delivery felt a little heavy-handed sometimes.

It frustrated me that I saw every single twist coming a mile away... 100% predictible plot. So instead of being shocked, I ended up reading just to confirm how right I was. It took about 60% of the book to feel like the actual plot was kicking in. Before that, it was mostly setup and world building. I get it, but I was ready to move, and I was bored for a while.

I don’t see myself jumping into book two right away, but I’m glad I read this one... it helped get me reading again after a tough month, and that’s always a win. 😊

So Predictible, but entertaining and very YA.

...have you read Pierce Browns Red serie? After this the Red Queen is like a child version, so sadly I didn't enjoyed it as much as I thought I would.

Good, but...
