Glass Sword (Red Queen, 2)

The #1 New York Times bestselling series!

Perfect for fans of Lauren Robert's Powerless and George R.R. Martin’s Game of Thrones series, Glass Sword is the high-stakes follow-up to the #1 New York Times bestselling Red Queen.

Mare Barrow's blood is red—the color of common folk—but her Silver ability, the power to control lightning, has turned her into a weapon that the royal court tries to control. The crown calls her an impossibility, a fake, but as she makes her escape from Maven, the prince—the friend—who betrayed her, Mare uncovers something startling: she is not the only one of her kind.

Pursued by Maven, now a vindictive king, Mare sets out to find and recruit other Red-and-Silver fighters to join in the struggle against her oppressors. But Mare finds herself on a deadly path, at risk of becoming exactly the kind of monster she is trying to defeat. Will she shatter under the weight of the lives that are the cost of rebellion? Or have treachery and betrayal hardened her forever?

Discover more wonders in the world of Red Queen with Broken Throne: A Red Queen Collection, a companion novel with stories from fan favorites and new voices, featuring never-before-seen maps, flags, bonus scenes, journal entries, and much more exclusive content!

Not as insanely good as the first. But important for what I believe will be a killer third!

Shade and Farley are pretty obvious.
I don't understand how Mare can be so dumb.
She is so so dumb. She does so many stupid things. ugh
Farley's "news" is also soooooooooooo obvious.
I think Mare is is slowly going crazy. She reacts poorly to every situation.
Although I'm not a fan of Mare, I do want her and Cal to get their shit together.

Okay not gonna lie, the beginning of this book was really hard to read. It was too descriptive for my liking and I literally put it down for like 6 months. BUT the last 100 pages were really good and encouraged me to buy the next book and give this series a second chance
