Red Queen

De: Victoria Aveyard

Narrado por: Amanda Dolan

Mare Barrow's world is divided by blood—those with red and those with silver. Mare and her family are lowly Reds, destined to serve the Silver elite whose supernatural abilities make them nearly gods. Mare steals what she can to help her family survive, but when her best friend is conscripted into the army she gambles everything to win his freedom. A twist of fate leads her to the royal palace itself, where, in front of the king and all his nobles, she discovers a power of her own—an ability she didn't know she had. Except . . . her blood is Red.

To hide this impossibility, the king forces her into 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 her new position to aid the Scarlet Guard—the leaders of a Red rebellion. Her actions put into motion a deadly and violent dance, pitting prince against prince—and Mare against her own heart.

From debut author Victoria Aveyard comes a lush, vivid fantasy series where loyalty and desire can tear you apart and the only certainty is betrayal.

Alright

honestly, I struggled to finish. In fact, I skipped to the end.

Very similar to Red Rising

This story was very similar to Red Rising. I enjoyed it, but it's been done before.

Loved this book!

Hard to tell between actual quotes and narrators thoughts. Other than that, LOVED this book. Hoping for a series or conclusion with the defeat of the bad guys!!!

Predictable Fun

Maybe because it's a YA novel, I guessed a few key plot points before they happened. However, the climactic action scenes at the end were completely engaging. I look forward to the rest of the series.

The narrator was good overall, but said some lines a little too whiny for my taste. I still think it's worth a listen.

Wow

I was on the edge of my seat, even though I knew some of the twist and turns would come the still made me screech.
it was a great experience.
