Let me start by saying READ THIS BOOK NOW!!!!!
OK now that we got that out of the way...So I picked up The red queen by Victoria Aveyard at my library, I had heard it was amazing and everything right off the bat but, didn't buy it because I was low on money and didn't want to waste it on a book I might not like. I didn't get it from the library until now because it was always checked out. So I start reading it and I kept thinking it would be like Prodigy or The selection But was really pleasantly surprised to find it had it's own course to lead. I was invested in the characters, it made my cry a little because of the main characters loses someone they love. I was so engrossed in the plot and needing answers and at times wanting to scream at the main character to stop doing this!!! I was SOOOOOO good! I mean usually books don't surprise me and I see the majority of the twists coming. I DID NOT SEE THESE TWISTS COMING!!! It was fantastical! I loved the entire book, beginning to end. The main character reminds me a little of Katniss from the hunger games trilogy, which by the way is another must read. Now this book is a young adult novel and although I've been a huge fan of YA in the past as I get older I want older situations in my books BUT The red queen is honestly great for all ages! I can not tell you how impressed I was with this book and Victoria's writing. I had a hard time falling asleep last night thinking about this book and where the series would lead. It's one of those books you get pissed at yourself for reading it before all the books are out because you have to wait a year for the next book. The red queen seriously deserves all the nominations, wins, e-mails, and posts about it. Every time I saw someone talk about how great it was I didn't think much of it because they said Gone girl was amazing too and i HATED that book, but the red queen deserves all the talk!! I loved it so much that when I went to the store to pick up some butternut squash I just had to stop in the books section and found a first edition signed copy of her brand new just released this month sequel the glass sword and I can not wait to read it! Of course I bought it because it was the only signed copy and I know how hard they can be to get a hold of and it was on sale for cheaper than buying an unsigned copy on amazon and having to pay and wait for shipping. I also of course have pictures to share with you and a quote from the red queen.
Enjoy!! -Bookish mom
