Welcome to a world of colors, a world where Red and Silver are not just two other colors, 
 Welcome to a Game of betrayal a game where "anyone can betray anyone" 
 "This is a game I don't understand, a game I don't know how to play" 
 So far this is the best book i read this year!! It was full of twists, if you like WTF moments when you don't know what's happening, this is your book! Because this was my face every 10 mins! 
 This is the next pretty little liars, except that they're not little................or pretty! 
 In a world where it doesn't matter if your blood is O, A, B or AB, what matters is, is your blood red or silver? if it's silver that means you have a special ability like controlling fire, water, earth elements, , wind, reading minds or even controlling them, but If it's red then welcome to club of workers and soldiers........or thieves! 
 Mare is a PROFESSIONAL THIEF ( i don't even know if these two words can be together in the same sentence! ..Anyways) Mare is one of the Reds, those who have a red blood, those who have no special ability, at least that's what she thought! Reds are at the bottom of the hierarchy of the society, they are forced to be soldiers and go to the war. 
 She hated the silvers for that, she hated that they think that they are Gods, even Mare thinks that they are Gods, Gods who "have come down from the stars. And they are no longer kind" 
 *********************************************** 
 Anyways later something happens and Mare is going to be forced to marry the prince, in a fairy tale that's a dream come true, the poor beautiful girl marries a prince, THE prince. 
 "But this isn't a fairy tale, or even a dream. This is a nightmare. I'm being locked away for the rest of my life, forced into being someone else. Into being one of them. A puppet. A show to keep people happy, quiet, and trampled" 
 "This isn't a request" ...."You will go through with this, and you will do it properly." 
 I loved the characters, each one of them is special in its own way, even the villains!! Yes, i hated the villains but loved how they are described, and the main character Mare is just so reliable, i loved her, 
 I love you Mare, your name starts with "M", my name starts with "M". you have a special ability, i have a special ability, i can read books and ignore people ........AT THE SAME TIME!! 
 Even my blood is red, i am a red too, WHAT A COINCIDENCE!! This is fate, we are meant for each other! 
 Ok if you didn't read the book yet, you might want to go away Because spoilers are coming!! 
 Ok let's talk about the similarities between this book and the hunger games 
 1- Arena: 
 Hunger games: "The 24 tributes will be imprisoned in a vast outdoor arena." 
 Red Queen: "Now they're separated from the rest of us by thick glass, trapped together in a miniature version of a battle arena." 
 2-Face of revolution: 
 Hunger Games: "..........you're the mockingjay, Katniss," says Plutarch. "While you live, the revolution lives." 
 Red Queen: 
 "I think you'll do quite nicely." 
 My voice trembles, dreading what she might say. "As what?" 
 "The face of our glorious revolution," 
 3- conscription 
 Hunger Games: "The reaping system is unfair, with the poor getting the worst of it. You become eligible for the reaping the day you turn twelve"..... "The reaping is a good opportunity for the Capitol to keep tabs on the population" 
 Red Queen: "My eighteenth birthday is coming, and with it, conscription. I'm not apprenticed, I don't have a job, so I'm going to be sent to the war like all the other idle ones" 
 4-Forced to fake love: 
 Hunger Games: remember how Katniss was forced to fake love with Peeta in catching fire by President Snow??? "Hey, Peeta, remember how I told you I was kind of faking being in love with you? Well, I really need you to forget about that now and act extra in love with me or the president might kill Gale" 
 Red Queen: the same thing happens in Red Queen when Mare was forced to marry Maven and pretend that she's okay with it 
 "You will marry my son Maven and you'll do it without putting a toe out of line." 
 5- expressions: 
 Even some expressions were familiar and while i was reading the book, i was like "oh, i think i saw this in the hunger games" but one line was so familiar. 
 Hunger games: 
 President snow to Katniss "Oh my dear Miss Everdeen, make no mistake," 
 Red Queen: 
 Julian to Mare: "Make no mistake, my girl," he finally breathes. 
 6-Being a pawn: 
 Hunger Games: if there's anything that katniss hated more than president Snow and the Capitol, it would be "being a pawn is someone's hand" (president Snow, game makers, president coin...etc) 
 Red Queen: this is what happened to Mare too, at the end when she discovered that she was just a pawn in Maven and Elara's hands 
 Julian to Mare: "You are playing the game as someone's pawn." 
 All in ALL, IF YOU LOVE THE HUNGER GAMES, YOU WILL LOVE RED QUEEN 
 *********************************************** 
 Speaking of being a pawn in someone's hand, that ending was not expected at all, and i usually see things coming! For example i knew that shade is still alive, I KNEW IT! 
 But i never expected that Maven would betray Mare, or as she said he didn't betray her, "he never was on her side" and i didn't see that coming, FOR THOSE WHO SAY I KNEW IT ALL ALONG, ARE YOU SILVERS WITH SEEING THE FUTURE ABILITY OR SOMETHING LIKE THAT!!! Because the writing was perfect and he never did something suspicious. 
 I can't believe that that this is the first book written by Victoria Aveyard, i will definitely read the next books in the series.
