Glass sword by Victoria Aveyard
Red Queen Book 2
Orion, 2016. ISBN 9781409159353.
(Age: 14+) Highly recommended. If there is one thing that Mare
Barrow knows, it's that she's different. And that she's not the only
one. Her blood is red - just like the common folk - but has an
ability that should only be possible to the Silver blood. Her power
to control Lightning has turned her into a weapon that the royal
Court wants to control. The crown calls her an impossibility, a
fake, and she's on the run being pursued by the Silver King, her
friend who betrayed her. Mare sets out on a mission to find and
recruit other Red-and-Silver fighters to join the cause and fight
against her oppressors.
Victoria Aveyard captivates her audience with the action packed
adventure that Mare and her group face. I couldn't put it down and
when I did I could not stop thinking about the book, even after I
finished the book. Glass sword runs on a crazy roller
coaster of emotions. Aveyard writes in such a way that you feel all
the emotions that Mare deals with and understand her anger and pain.
I definitely recommend this series to anyone, and it is definitely a
series for those who enjoyed The hunger games or Divergent.
