Synopsis: 
 Mare Borrow's life is ruled by her blood. Red blood made her destined to either serve or go to war and she's never been fit for an apprenticeship. As the days tick closer to her 18th birthday, Mare doesn't believe anything will change. After all, the ruling class, made up of those with Silver blood, possess God-like powers that make revolution impossible. But when Mare finds herself employed by the Silver Palace, surrounded by those she hates, she learns that she has a deadly power of her own. One that threatens to destroy the control of the Silvers. But power is a dangerous thing and learning who to trust is even more so because in the quest for power anyone can betray anyone. 
 Thoughts: 
 I had no doubt going in that I would love this book. It's rep'ed by Suzie Townsend and I have loved every book I've read that she is the agent of. I might stalk her sales because her taste in books is spot on for my tastes. I never thought I would reach a point in my reading career where I have a favorite agent, but... anyway. This is off topic. 
 Red Queen was amazing. It completely lived up to the hype. I was sucked in from the moment I started it. Intrigue, romance, betrayals. A mixture of high fantasy meets X-Men meets dystopian. I AM IN LOVE. 
 I'm also very excited to note that I still am a good judge of character. Whew. I was nervous at quite a few parts in this book. It had me wondering if I was making the wrong choices in which characters I was liking. "Anyone can betray anyone" is a sentiment repeated often and its definitely a fitting thought. 
 There's so much I want to say about this book, but I don't want to give anything away. World building? A+ Character development? A+ Plot? A+ Basically this book gets all As and all the stars and will be finding a home on my bookshelf (which is a hard thing to achieve). I look forward to re-reading this book many times and telling other people to read it and now the wait for book two begins.
