***** 
 I didn't expect to love this book; I have a complicated relationship with sequels, but I LOVED Glass Sword more than Red Queen. I enjoyed the first, but I had a blast reading the second book (even if there is a lot of hate -specially self-hatred, my fav kind- and death -which I love in books. Please don't judge me). I am always in favor of heroines who are kind of an anti-hero (although Mare sometimes has that heroine complex of being too special, hey all newbloods are. In that sense, I liked Katniss more in the way she handled being the Mockingjay. ). 
 CAL! CAL please, send me a smoke signal or a far away fire if you want to meet up because I adore you. I am so team Cal that I even want a t-shirt; style Twilight (never had one). "Love blinds." I love their dynamic, that I want but can't, we have so many issues... trust issues... 
 I am tired of heroines always falling into the arms of the prince so easily when there's a war in between. I wish it was so easy... (Mare, you better stick to him. SO DREAMY AND CONFLICTED). 
 I even like Maven in this book... And it may be just because he is hardly in it, just the necessary. 
 I got more into Kilorn (I am surprised I didn't hate him in the book, surprise) and Farley and Shade. I want more Nanny too (even the Coronel). 
 My only problem with Aveyard's books (it's hardly a problem at all, it just confuses me) is that when you think it is going to end, it drags on and it makes it longer. 
 SPOILER about the end! 
 Do not proceed if you haven't read it!

 I thought we were done after the prison, but it kept going to the Tuck and then to the airplane and then back to the capital. And the queen... it wan't so clear. Her and Shade??? Confused by it (though I like books that aren't that explicit but I wanted it to be more difficult for Mare. Maybe more epic? 
 Can't wait to read the next one! Cal come to rescue her (or me *crosses fingers*)
