Description Conducive To Books Glass Sword (Red Queen #2)
If there’s one thing Mare Barrow knows, it’s that she’s different. 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? The electrifying next installment in the Red Queen series escalates the struggle between the growing rebel army and the blood-segregated world they’ve always known—and pits Mare against the darkness that has grown in her soul.Rating About Books Glass Sword (Red Queen #2)

I am still #teamMaven. Scroll down to the spoiler portion of my review to read my theory on his redemption arc. I'm either right or dead wrong, but my gut is telling me to there is more to Maven than meets the eye. "Mare, I am very afraid for you. Things have been done to you, things no person should suffer. You've seen horrible things, done horrible things, and they will change you. I'm so afraid for what you could be, if given the wrong chance." Enter the world of shades of gray. No characterAfter Mare and Cal manage to escape execution, Maven begins to relentlessly hunt them. Which wouldn't be so bad if they were going to stay on the secured island they're hiding out at, courtesy of the Scarlet Guard, but alas there is the problem of the New Bloods. Mare and Cal must race against Maven to get to the New Bloods before he can kill them, as well as figure out a place to keep and train them. The two also must try to deal with the fall out from Maven's betrayal and their feelings for
Rarely, (and I mean rarely) do I abhor a book to its very core. In an effort to give some structure to my upcoming rant, I will limit myself to the things I disliked the most: The title, the writing and (of course) how our heroine is actually a terrible, horrible person. The Title I literally cannot get over this title. So much over-the-top symbolism... but not in the way the author wanted. All I took away from it was, my God. How useless. Anything is better than a glass sword. A wooden one,

rounding up my rating because im in a good mood and still feeling that christmas cheer, but there are only so many rebel military tactics and kingdom overthrow attempts i can read before a book becomes a snooze fest. sigh. this isnt as captivating as the red queen (because of the aforementioned issues with boredom) but, because of that ending, i have my fingers crossed that the story can be redeemed in the next book. maybe this is just an unfortunate case of a sophomore slump, so im not giving
This review can also be found on my blog, Dana and the Books.Rating: 4.5/5Holy hell, that ending. That last chapter. That last sentence.Glass Sword was one of my most anticipated 2016 reads and it completely lived up to the hype, making it a fantastic sequel to Red Queen.Without giving away spoilers, Glass Sword started right in the action, basically right where Red Queen left off. The main focus of Glass Sword is to search for and recruit others like Mare Barrow for the uprising against Silver
Full Review Finally done with this mess. This is the most boring book I have read in my life and I rather watch paint try. An annoying main character did not help either. Shoutout to Maven's bish for suffering with me. Almost DNF a lot of times but held on because of this buddy read.Ive never 1 stared a book. I usually DNF books that Im not enjoying but I kept reading this especially because people told me it gets better at the end but the end wasnt enough for me to rate this book any higher.
