Red Queen book review

Yesterday I finished reading Red Queen, so I thought I would do a quick book review on it. If you are reading this comment below saying hello or something like that (so I know that people are actually reading my blog, because it says people are but I'm not so sure).

Sorry about the poor quality photo.

I find that the book kind of started off slow. I couldn't get straight into it, and read lots of chapters in a row like I normally do. But then the book eventually started to get better. And once it got better I really enjoyed it.

Yesterday I just read lots and lots of chapters so I could finish the book, and move on to my next book. I didn't want the book to end.

The book is about a world divided by blood. There are the people with red blood who are the commoners like the main character Mare. And then there are the silvers who are royalty. Mare was grown up to believe that she was born into a red family, but that isn't true.  Mare is red blooded, but she was born into a silver family. Her real name isn't Mare Barrow, it is Lady Mareena Titanos.

In the Stilts (where she lives), she meets Cal, who she believes is also a red. Mare then gets called to the palace for a job, where she finds out that Cal is actually a silver, he is a prince and he is the heir to the throne. Mare then becomes betrothed to Cal's younger brother Maven.

Mare and Cal share a kiss when he is teaching her how to dance. Maven knew all about it.

Maven and Mare are in league with the Scarlet Guard (a group of red rebels). However Maven is only pretending. Maven then gets Cal to kill the king, and he sentences Cal and Mare to death. Mare is devastated by the fact that Maven betrayed her. Maven then becomes the king.

Cal and Mare manage to escape. She wakes up on a train to find that the Scarlet Guard are there. And she finds out that her brother Shade who she thought was dead is actually still alive.

I loved this book so much, and I can't wait until Glass Sword is out which is the sequel to this book. I ship Maven and Mare, and I am still hoping that somehow there is a chance for them. When Maven betrayed Mare, I cried. I just want them to be together but I don't know if that will happen.

Glass Sword is out on February 9th 2016. I am sorry if this book review sucks because I am no good at book reviews. Anyway if any of you have read Red Queen, tell me in the comments what you think about. Who do you ship? Thank you for reading (if anyone is actually reading).
