Glass Sword

De: Victoria Aveyard

Narrado por: Amanda Dolan

The electrifying next installment in the Red Queen series escalates the struggle between the growing rebel army and the blood-segregated world they've always known - and pits Mare against the darkness that has grown in her soul.

Mare Barrow's blood is red - the color of common folk - but her Silver ability, the power to control lightning, has turned her into a weapon that the royal court tries to control. The crown calls her an impossibility, a fake, but as she makes her escape from Maven, the prince - the friend - who betrayed her, Mare uncovers something startling: She is not the only one of her kind.

Pursued by Maven, now a vindictive king, Mare sets out to find and recruit other Red-and-Silver fighters to join in the struggle against her oppressors. But Mare finds herself on a deadly path, at risk of becoming exactly the kind of monster she is trying to defeat. Will she shatter under the weight of the lives that are the cost of rebellion? Or have treachery and betrayal hardened her forever?

Love and hate...

So, these books drive me crazy. I realize it is a YA series... but the main character is the most immature, codependent, narcissistic, irritating fictional character ever. Except I can’t stop listening to them, either. I literally spend half of the time listing rolling my eyes at her irritating personality, but then can’t wait to see what happens next. I’m so confused about my feelings here. That lead character must be rubbing off on me! Now pardon me while I go download the next one. I’m hoping she matures as this continues...

frustrating

I really enjoyed the first book in this series, so much that I gave it 5 stars. The second one.. well, I found myself yelling at the audible narrator quite a bit. In my opinion, Mare was quite selfish in this book. Hell, she even mentioned a few times that she knew she was more important than the rest. I have No idea why... really... Then all of a sudden she would say she cared, of course that only lasted while it suited her.
i really like the story, but I am not sure if I will read the next book, because I found Mare so bloody annoying!
Cal is too good for her, that is the only reason I can come with as to why so many people are rooting for Maven and Mare to get back together. I don't know if this book would have been better if I would have read it or if the audible version improved it. UGH.. so frustrated!

I Love Mare

Cal You GOT THIS!! WOW!!! THIS BOOK IS AMAZING!! I CAN'T WAIT FOR THE NEXT BOOK!! I HOPE IT COMES OUT SOON!! THIS NARRATOR BRINGS EVERYONE TO LIFE PERFECT!!

Listened and lamented

After being underwhelmed in the first book, can't say that I feel any better here. Had I not already read Hunger Games, Divergent, Unwanteds, Uglies etc. I might have been more positive about this. Kept hoping that we would get a twist, such as the first person narration being revealed as a biased or skewed interpretation of events. It's not bad writing, just a bit overshadowed by better stories.

LOVED IT LOVED IT LOVED IT!!!!

it was all amazing!! amazing book amazing author, and amazing narrator!!I hope there is a next book and that it comes out soon!

good second book

looking forward to reading it the next book in the series really rooting for main character . good storyline characters are lovable hateful and really fun to imagine

love

I wasn't sure when I found this, but I'm so glad I have it a chance. it's a wonderful read (listen). love it!

It was ok

I like it and can't wait for the next one is there is one but overall it was pretty good

So Much Internal Dialouge

There was a lot less action and discovery in this book and a lot more of Mare's thoughts and feelings, as compared to book 1. The ending was quite a shock as well.

Riveting

The book was exceptional, loved the story line. Couldn't put it down it was so good.
