#silverblood

Red Queen by Victoria Aveyard is a story told from the perspective of Mare Barrow. Mare Barrow lives in a word separated by the color of one’s blood: Silver or Red. Red Bloods have no power and are forced to work for the silvers. Silver bloods have power and rule. 

Reds have to serve in the War: A conflict that has been happening for 80 years that have killed countless lives. When Mare’s best friend is about to be sent, she does everything in her power to escape with him. In a twist of fate, she finds herself in the palace. Little does she know, that she has powers, and that her world.

I loved this book. It felt like a mix of fantasy and dystopian literature (my two favorite genres). The writing was poetic, beautiful, and it was just SO GOOD. What I didn’t like about this was that at the beginning of the book, I felt like Mare was a little self-centered. It was a little too fasted paced for me, but that’s a personal preference. 

Meet Diana Silverblood, heir to the Silverblood dynasty and family trade of Werewolf hunting!

As an inexperienced hunter Diana has a lot to learn about the Werewolf packs that plague the lands of Palagia. Her family has been at war with these packs since the dawn of the era, and the reputation of her forefathers rests on her shoulders to take them down.

With quick wit and a heart full of valor, she’s up for the challenge, but what lengths will she go to uphold her family’s name?
