That is until one girl changes it all.\u00a0 For my full review keep reading after the book blurb.\u00a0 Be sure to check back later this week for the second book in this series.<\/p>\n<h2><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\" size-full wp-image-3782 alignleft\" src=\"https:\/\/bookmaven623.files.wordpress.com\/2016\/03\/22328546.jpg\" alt=\"22328546\" width=\"316\" height=\"475\" \/>Book Blurb:<\/h2>\n<p><span id=\"freeText11828492461981572445\">This is a world divided by blood \u2013 red or silver.<br \/>\nThe Reds are commoners, ruled by a Silver elite in possession of god-like superpowers. And to Mare Barrow, a seventeen-year-old Red girl from the poverty-stricken Stilts, it seems like nothing will ever change.<br \/>\nThat is, until she finds herself working in the Silver Palace. Here, surrounded by the people she hates the most, Mare discovers that, despite her red blood, she possesses a deadly power of her own. One that threatens to destroy the balance of power.<br \/>\nFearful of Mare\u2019s potential, the Silvers hide her in plain view, declaring her a long-lost Silver princess, now engaged to a Silver prince. Despite knowing that one misstep would mean her death, Mare works silently to help the Red Guard, a militant resistance group, and bring down the Silver regime.<br \/>\nBut this is a world of betrayal and lies, and Mare has entered a dangerous dance \u2013 Reds against Silvers, prince against prince, and Mare against her own heart &#8230;<\/span><\/p>\n<h2>Review:<\/h2>\n<p>Mare has only ever had a real talent for pick pocketing.\u00a0 But, as the time draws nearer to her conscription into the war and her best friend&#8217;s likely conscription she becomes desperate to change her station and those around her.\u00a0 When an unlikely meeting with a stranger lands her a job serving the royal family she sees hope.\u00a0 But her appearance becomes more.\u00a0 An unexpected ability spills from her.\u00a0 Something red bloods aren&#8217;t supposed to be able to have.\u00a0 Suddenly, Mare is swept up into intrigue, rebellion and two princes who compete for her heart.\u00a0 In Mare&#8217;s new world will she be able to survive to help those who need her and fight for what she wants? Or will she be swallowed up in so many lies she doesn&#8217;t know which way to turn.<br \/>\nThis book was phenomenal.\u00a0 From the first moment in this book I was pulled into a world that was fighting to be more than what it was.\u00a0 With a character like Mare Barrow you are lead from the poorest of villages to brightest of castles.\u00a0 Through Mare we see and feel the losses of war, rebellion and betrayal.\u00a0 Victoria Aveyard has created a world that is both relatable and fantastical.\u00a0 Her heroin of Mare is not perfect but very flawed.\u00a0 But its the emotions she feels about her flaws that make her so phenomenal.\u00a0 In this book, you will find yourself engrossed in a fictional world that has the reader crying, cheering and screaming with each page turn.\u00a0 If you haven&#8217;t picked this book up yet,\u00a0 believe me when I say you need to.<br \/>\n&nbsp;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>I must share this fantastic series I just started.\u00a0 The Red Queen series is a phenomenal world where the lower classes have red blood are looked down and forced to fight in a war that only loses their lives and the distinguishing upper classes have silver blood and all the power.
