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 tris 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.
I was really excited for this book because the ending of Red Queen made me rate it 5 stars, so naturally i wanted to know how the story went on. Well, i liked Glass Sword, but not as much as i liked Red Queen. Most of the book was about recruiting people and training them. It wasn't that interesting and i was glad when the author began to skip lots of recruits.
I've read a lot of reviews about Glass Sword, many missed Maven (i didn't), even though he is the evil one. And lots said the ending was great, but when i read it, i actually thought it was quite obvious something had to happen because the author plans two more books. So that end didn't quite surprise me. But apart from all that, i liked this book and would recommend it.
