Red Queen

by Victoria Aveyard

Our rating

Spice 0/5 Darkness 2/5

Spice: none. Darkness: some dark moments.

Silver blood rules and red blood serves, and Mare is a Red with a power she shouldn't have. The king hides her in plain sight by betrothing her to his younger son. Peak 2015 YA: two princes, an arena and a twist people still argue about.
