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?

DNF. Don't care. Absolutely boring and repetitive. Won't even bother with a review on this. No one else should either.
Can't wait for the third book.
I don't have any strong feelings for this series but I want to keep reading, Because I'd like to know the conclusion. I stand by my thoughts about the first book , It does have some things that I don't think are original but I liked to see how there were more characters in this story and their contributions to the cause with their abilities. I don't think Cal and Mare's romance is additional , actually I liked their relationship in this book even though they are more focused on other things than themselves I liked the support they bring for each other at times.
It's not a bad book, I'm just probably tired of this genre. Go to strawberrylemondebooks.com for more.
I WISH I'D KNOWN HOW THIS WAS GOING TO END SO I COULD HAVE HAD THE NEXT BOOK AT THE READY!! I blame Anya - for not warning me...!
For those who wish for Sheldon Spoilers - Have the next book ready to carry on reading. Seriously.
Anyway, the book itself. I enjoyed it. It was good. There were moments when I was all *sigh* this is supposed to be gobsmacking and shocking but its what, the fifth one now? There was so much that happened that it almost stopped being shocking? But in the same breath some of the events were brilliant and sort of kept you on your toes. I just think there were a few too many.
Mare travels all over in this book and I cannot wait to read the next book - so excited I do believe I'm going to be buying it over borrowing it from the library!
