Very enjoyable if a little derivative
By mostlyyalit on February 11, 2015
Format: Kindle Edition
Mare Barrow is a Red. In Norta, this means that she's a normal human being, poor, and needs to scrape a living for herself and her family through thieving and general servitude. Reds are seen as the lowest of the low by Silvers, who have magical abilities that are highly esteeemed in the country. Mare and her family and friends despise Silvers, who treat Reds like dirt and have Reds fight an unending war with a neighboring country for them.

When circumstances for Mare send her right into the path of royals, she ends up discovering that she has magic abilities - and thus, is made a noble who is set to marry the second of two princes so that the reigning royal family can keep an eye on her. Meanwhile, an uprising is gathering through the country, and Mare has to figure out who she is and where her loyalties lie.

This one was hard to review because on one hand, I found the story very compelling, but on the other hand, there were lots of little things that I just couldn't get into. I've broken them down below.

Things That Frustrated Me:

The heroine: my biggest frustration with this book was the lack of character development in Mare. I didn't feel like I went on a journey with her as a character at all - she was kind of sassy and funny, and she clearly had some cool abilities...but that was it for me. I didn't feel like I knew her at all by the end of the book because she was the same person the entire way through. That was hard for me to connect with.

The romance: There were (count 'em) THREE love interests for Mare in this book. None of them really go anywhere big, but it just felt like every friggin guy in the book was into her.Read more ›

Intense, intrigue-filled, addictive read!
By Evie Seo TOP 500 REVIEWER on March 21, 2015
Format: Hardcover
I've read this book last year, as soon as it popped up on Edelweiss, and honestly, it was one of the best books I've read in 2014. As I sit here today, trying to wrap my mind around its sheer awesomeness and put together a somewhat coherent review, I get ridiculously excited all over again, just thinking about the plot, the complex word-building, the insane plot twists and just how visually stunning and breathtakingly magnificent the whole story was. I really, truly loved Red Queen!

I've been putting off writing my review. I didn't trust myself not go on an embarrassingly childish rave fest. And here I am, nearly half a year later, still under Red Queen's magical spell. What can you do? Some books are just THAT awesome.

The one at the center of it all is Mare Barrow, an unimportant little Red. Mare lives in a world divided by blood, in which the Silver-blooded Royals hold all the power (both literally and metaphorically speaking) and the Red-bloods are nothing more than poor, lowly servants. The Silvers have supernatural powers, the Reds do not. At least that's how it's always been and what the Silvers want everyone to believe. When Mare discovers she has an ability of her own, her entire world gets flipped upside down. She finds herself thrown in the middle of intrigue-fueled Silver court, forced to play the role of a long lost Silver princess and betrothed to Silver King's song. With the Scarlet Guard becoming more and more aggressive, the full-on rebellion is fast approaching. The fate of the entire kingdom depends on the choices she'll make. And one bad decision can lead to a massacre...

Red Queen is a fast paced, breathless kind of read. A true edge-of-your-seat story. Intrigue filled, action packed, twisty and highly dramatic, it's a real page turner.Read more ›

Okay if you don't question it too much (like I did)
By j-j-j-jinx TOP 1000 REVIEWERVINE VOICE on January 3, 2015
Format: Hardcover Vine Customer Review of Free Product ( What's this? )
This book starts out rather derivative, with shades of Hunger Games, Red Rising and a bunch of other stuff while at first seeming like a pure fantasy genre book, based on the special powers of the Silvers, but deeper in it hints at dystopian future or parallel universe kind of stuff.

There are two classes in this world. Our main character, Mare, is a red, the lower class. They have red blood and no special powers. The other, higher class, which takes great pains to suppress the reds, are the silvers. They have silver blood and they have a variety of different powers (but one each) and at one point it's mentioned that they can only draw from what is around them (like if they can channel the power of water, there actually has to be water around) although, then again, one girl with water power (or hydra power, something like that) draws water just out of the air around her. Enough water to defeat a guy with the power of fire. So, I dunno. But anyway, by accident Mare (and all the royal type silvers) finds out she has a great power herself, even though she's not supposed to since she bleeds red and all, and it gets very complicated where the king and queen (although the king is hardly a character at all in the book, very 2 dimensional) deciding it would be best if they tell everyone Mare is a long lost silver and they betroth her to their younger son. It really doesn't make sense if you think too hard about it.

Reading this book I was going a bit nuts because there are a lot of inconsistencies, things that don't make sense with the world in general and characters that seem to be one way and then flip flop to become another way.Read more ›

worse than fan fiction

Really? The dialogue is trite, the explanations go on and on and on to no end, and the whole thing is predictable. Read more

I absolutely cannot wait for the next book! I absolutely love how the main character wasn't afraid of everything and stood up for herself and was strong willed

Entertaining, though not entirely original.

Over the years I have read a lot of adult and young adult fantasy/urban fantasy. Given my experience with the genre, patterns start to stand out. Read more

Good YA fantasy. I always read the books my so are reading so we can...

Made can be a little one-sided in her thinking at times but since she is a teenager guess that is expected. She brings some of her hardships on to her own shoulders.

New YA fantasy series!

Red Queen is the first book in a new YA dystopia/fantasy series.

The book reminds me of a cross between The Selection by Kiera Cass and Shatter Me by Tahereh Mafi. Read more

What?

I want to read more, dang cliff hangers. sigh. However, one of the main characters was predictable. I just didn't know when the character was going to change.
