Glass Sword by Victoria Aveyard (#2 Red Queen)

Title: Glass Sword (#2 Red Queen) 

Author: Victoria Aveyard 

Pages: 448 pages 

Published: February 9th, 2016

Genre: Fantasy YA 

The thrilling second book in the #1 New York Times bestselling Red Queen trilogy follows Mare Barrow on her mission to defeat the traitorous Maven. 

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 called 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 of her own heart.

Goodreads

I read Red Queen a while back when it was first released and I loved it because I am a big fantasy reader. My review can be found here. You guys remember the first book and its cover when it first released. The covers for these books are beautiful and props to the graphic designer of these books. If you're into epic fantasy reads that have an amazing plot twist at the end, pick up this series before the second book comes out! 

Read the first book!
