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 … 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.

Loved it and the writing style reminded me of reading Hunger Games – the book was a fun, quick read. I quickly read this and went onto it’s sequel.
I very much enjoyed getting lost in this unique and capturing story. This book takes you into a world where Silvers, elite warrior with god-like powers, rule over the Reds, lowly commoners made to serve those above them, just because of the colour of their blood.
This story follows a 17 year old girl, Mare Barrow, a red, who has grown up in the …
The world Aveyard presented is not one I’ve come across before. The story overall is great, but there are parts of the story where Aveyard really misses the mark in telling the story. For example, there are some areas that she could’ve written better to convey a sense of suspense, but instead she dedicates a sentence or two to what could have …
I Quote “Anyone can betray anyone”

I have yet to read Red Rising, but from what I get from fellow reviews it that Red Queen is basically Red Rising, but with the main hero …

SERIES REVIEW (Books 1 through 4.)
I have read books one through three of this series twice now, and I am still just as much on the fence now as I was the first time that I read them. I did enjoy them more the second time around, but I truly think that it is only because I knew what to expect. When this series …

this is quite possibly my favorite book, out of the hundreds I must have read in my life, because it is filled with adventure. Victoria Aveyard’s masterfully crafted world of a country divided by blood and power kept me on the edge of my comfy reading chair from the start of the four-book series to the final chapter.
It’s a great book! You can never guess where it’s heading and then you end up unbelievably surprised
Red Queen is a nail-biting tale of intrigue, mystery, and betrayals. Amazingly written, Victoria Aveyard spins an exciting tale of fabulous characters in a world so different, yet so very like our own.
Red Queen follows the happenstance journey of Mare Barrow, a poor red-blooded thief, from the Stilts where she fears conscription (draft for the …
Right from the start, the author paints a beautiful picture with her descriptions and moves the story along at a good pace that kept me turning the pages. It has the perfect combination of action, adventure, mystery, intrigue and fantasy. All it was missing was a little more romance. As a hopeless romantic, I’m always looking for that sweet, …
This book, oh my gosh. I read the whole series in a week. The lies, the tragedy, and the mischief hidden beneath the covers is honestly so fantastical.
