Hello! It’s been a
while since I wrote a review, but school kept me busy. I finished this book
three months ago, it’s a really popular one that I really wanted to read, Red
Queen by Victoria Aveyard.
Red Queen takes us to a dystopian world set after a world
war. In this world, some persons
evolved and gained certain abilities, these
persons have the singularity of having silver blood, while the people that
remained with red blood didn’t obtain abilities. This makes the Silvers
superior and they margin the Reds, making them live afraid of them and in
poverty. If the Reds don’t get a job or profession before certain age, they are
recruited to the army due to a war that has been going on for 100 years. The
protagonist of this story is Mare Barrow, she is about to get conscripted
because she has no job, so she is a thief, and tries her best to provide
something to her family, even thou her parents dislike her ways of providing.
Trying to help a friend to avoid conscription turns Mare’s life into a mess.
One sad night for her, she tries to steal from a boy and he turns out to be Prince
Cal. He gets her a job at the palace as a servant, but there she will find out
that she is not a normal Red, she is special. Because of this her life will completely
change.
