Book Review: Red Queen

So I have been a huge fan of murder mystery for a while now and I decided to take a short break after the last book that I read because, unfortunate, I knew who did it from the beginning of the book. I don’t know if it was the book that was at fault or me knowing how to determine who it was so quickly. Regardless, I started reading Red Queen because, I like books in a series and needed a break from the usual. This book was so good I could not put it down. I had to keep reading it and ended up finishing it within days. The main character, Mare, lives in a world filled with two kinds of people, reds and silvers. The reason for this is because that is what you are born with, red or silver blood. The silver blood people are the high class people mostly having some soft of  power involving moving metal or fire or water. The have the ability to do beyond the normal human convention. Mare is a red blood and steals when she can not planning on doing much more with her life because she has no talent beyond it, or so she thinks. One day she stills from the wrong man and ends up finding herself with a job inside the castle walls during a huge rebellion between the reds and the silvers. She has to decide which side she is going to go with and to make matters worse she discovers a power within herself. For now she is no longer a red or a silver and the King and Queen must decide how to move forward.

I don’t want to give too much away but it is a great read. Can’t wait to start the second book and tell you all about it.
