A review by smolhousewitch
Red Queen by Victoria Aveyard

adventurous emotional tense fast-paced
  • Plot- or character-driven? Plot
  • Strong character development? Yes
  • Loveable characters? It's complicated
  • Diverse cast of characters? No
  • Flaws of characters a main focus? No

4.0

While this starts as a pretty standard set up, the strength of this book is Aveyard's refusal to choose the easy plot (love doesn't solve everything, centuries of oppression are not resolved easily or bloodlessly). I'm really looking forward to book 2!
