This is my second read of Red Queen and boy did I love it! 
 Mare is a Red and in her world red's are second class citizens to the talented and magic welding Silvers. 
 The difference is in there blood, Silvers have super hero abilities, manipulating water, controlling fire, mind control,manipulating plant growth, fastness,sneakiness the list goes on. 
 If you are a red with no job or apprenticeship you are automatically conscripted at 18 to fight a war you have no choice in and be lucky to make it a year. Mare is conscripted and looking for a way to save her Best friend from the same fate, while Mare is out she stumbles along a boy that takes pity and lands her in a cushy servants job were everything takes off from here! 
 I loved re-reading this and getting to see all the characters in a different light knowing where this is heading but also wanting to yell and warn them when something bad is going to happen! 
 (view spoiler)[ Re reading this I don't know how I didn't see Maven as the sneak he is I mean he is just so shifty sometimes and so strange with his Mother. The ending is the best part of the book, the execution,the bowl of bones and the amazing escape revealing her "dead" brother with his awesome teleporting jumping power. It pumped me for the next book and left me on a high. (hide spoiler)]
