The Red Queen

[Heathernross26]

So The Red Queen by Victoria Aveyard is by far the best young-adult series I have stumbled upon this year. I was hooked from chapter 1.
Basically, It's a world devided by the color of your blood. People with silver blood are the royals and nobles who have special "abilities" comparable to the X-Men. They rule the world ruthlessly and force the Red Bloods into their war for power and keep them basically enslaved.
However one Red Blood, Mare Barrow, a common theif, stumbles into the Silver world by way of luck (And not the good kind). She works as a servant in the Castle and during a queenstryial, turns the Silver world upside down. She has the power to weild lightning. It is completely unheard of for a Red Blood to possess any time of ability or power. The Silver queen seizes here and creats a cover story for her kingdom that Mare is actually a Silver blood and bethroths her to the prince. Mare is forced to play along and train with the Silvers like she is one of them.
In the meantime, the Reds are launching a rebellion of their own to be set free from their invisible chains that link them into slavery for the Silvers. Will Mare join the rebellion and help her Red blood peers attain their freedom?

This book book series is every bit enticing as it carries samples of The Hunger Games, X-Men, Cinderella, and The Game Of Thrones. I encourage all who like young-adult novels to read this.
