Passionate Pages

I truly enjoyed this novel! Victoria Aveyard's "Red Queen" plunges readers into such an incredable dystopian world where the divide between the elite Silvers and the oppressed Reds. From the very first page, I was captivated by the power struggles and the lies that control every aspect of this horrifying society.

One of my favorites parts of "Red Queen" is the love triangle that develops between the main characters. Mare finds herself stuck between her feelings for two brothers, one he is engaged to, and the other who she is drawn to.

What truly sets "Red Queen" apart is Aveyard's ability to keep readers guessing until the very end (though I will say... I saw it coming!) The twists and turns of the plot kept me on the edge of my seat.

I eagerly anticipated this book after reading the first book a week ago, "What Hunts Inside the Shadows" by Harper L. Woods was a fun read, but missed the mark just a bit for me.

This book feels like a regression from the first book in the series in my opinion. The mate bond, once a crutch, now dominates the plot, overshadowing a lot of the potential development of these characters. I love Caelum's passion for Estrella, but disliked how Estrella's love seemed so dim and boring. I also found the fact that Estrella couldn't grow past her victim mentality. She felt so weak, even as her powers grew.

Beyond the abundance of explicit content within the woods, I felt like this story did not progress.
