Dystopian, fantasy, and adventure all combine beautifully in Victoria Aveyard's Red Queen.
Red Queen is about a girl named Mare. She lives in a world divided by the color of blood. The silver blooded are the higher class and possess unnatural powers. The red blooded are left for the silvers to rule over. Events take place and Mare is thrown into the world of the silvers and everything that is known is questioned. Mare finds herself having to make several life changing choices affecting her and her world. Along with all of this, romance and drama surround Mare.
Mare is a very strong and independent heroine. She is full of rage, compassion, and motivation. She will fight for a cause even when she is met with obstacles and opposition.
This novel was full of unexpected events at every page. The plot development is like no other. Victoria Aveyard also did a wonderful job with the imagery in this novel. As the book progressed, I felt like I had personally known the characters my whole life.
I rate this novel 5 out of 5 stars. I would recommend this book to book clubs, for there are many interesting themes and conversation points in this novel. Some of these include: segregation, social norms, judgment, trust, and fear of the unknown.
Here is one of my favorite quotes from the novel:
"The truth is what I make it. I could set this world on fire and call it rain."
