Martin’s Game of Thrones series, Glass Sword is the high-stakes follow-up to the #1 New York Times bestselling Red Queen . 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? Discover more wonders in the world of Red Queen with Broken Throne: A Red Queen Collection, a companion novel with stories from fan favorites and new voices, featuring never-before-seen maps, flags, bonus scenes, journal entries, and much more exclusive content!

Review: Action and emotionally packed sequel! - Rating: 5 Stars So it has been some time since I read Red Queen. I dove right in. Mare and Cal are on the run with the Red Guard but being a silver, Cal is not treated with the best care. Mare is a red with silver abilities, the lightning girl. She thought she was an anomaly but finds there are others like her, new bloods. The king is dead at Cal’s hand. His hand forced by the Queen, using her ability against him to dispute him and put her traitors son Maven on the throne. He is not the man either of them thought him to be, just a puppet playing the part that would make them both care for him. Now Mare must fight but the cost is high and all of the treachery and betrayal have taken their toll and changed her. The action and intrigue of this series picks up at the first page and doesn't let you down. There is so much happening from escaping without dying and oh yeah convincing the people you're with Cal isn't just an evil silver but an ally. I loved throughout the book there is always more than one thing happening. The constant struggle between the reds and silvers and now new bloods, never knowing where one stands as we are constantly reminded that anyone can betray you at any time. Oh and the political issues of being on the run as Maven takes over as king. It's one hit after another and we just keep rolling with the momentum never slowing down. The pacing of the book keeps it moving along for sure. Still there is lots of character development with all out characters. There is no clear right and wrong anymore everything seems to be shades of grey. Mare, everyone really but her especially, has to deal with so much. Blaming herself. Wanting to save people like her, save everyone and fix the world into something better. She wasn't trained to be a leader, she never wanted to be one but despite everything people keep looking to her to lead. Watching her struggle with all of her issues throughout the book was grounding. There was one part in which case I was so glad I was parked when it happened because I just stared at my car display in shock. You go through the emotional ringer with these characters that's for sure. “If I am a sword, I am a sword made of glass, and I feel myself beginning to shatter.” One of my favorite parts was getting to meet all the new characters. Some good and some bad. I especially enjoyed our new bloods and learning all their new powers as some were so much fun to imagine. I enjoyed the difficult position each one was in and how real everything felt. Not everyone is saved all the time. This is a war and they are rebels and that means they are the underdog. Farley was by far a favorite for me, the accent the narrator did for her was spot on as well, I loved how she could be surrounded by people with special abilities and be severely out matched but still hold her own with her tricks and skills. There is some small pieces between Mare and Cal but given everything that has happened it is very small and sedate. They both are struggling with Maven. Yes he is a monster. He has done and continues to do horrible things to people. Still that is not the Maven they knew and loved and even knowing that their Maven was "real" is still a hard thing to reconcile with the monster that is out to get you. I love that they both are struggling with that and their places in this new war. They both have beliefs and hard wired instincts they have to work on with everything flipped around. I thought the reactions to it all was rather true to the characters and I enjoyed it. Overall I really enjoyed this story and am glad I don't have to wait long to start the next book and then even less time for the final book to come out. As much as I want to dive right in given that ending…and yes that ending hurt me…I also want to be fresh for the final book to come out. And I have a few other books I have to get to this month! I am caught up in this story and even waiting close to 2 years between reading without any catch up I fell right back into things with no problem because the author wrote such a unique and interesting world it was transfixed in my head!
Review: Enjoyed it as part of the series - It's been a while since I read this one, so I don't remember a ton of specifics, but I recall enjoying it as part of the series overall. Solid continuation for fans of the Red Queen world, worth the read if you're already invested in the story.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ An action-packed, mind-numbingly good addition to a series I can’t wait to finish
*by S***S on February 27, 2016*

Oh this book. I feel like that about sums up my feelings, but I guess I’ll explain a little more for those who haven’t read it yet. Glass Sword picks up right where Red Queen left off. And I mean right where it left off. This immediately got me back into the headspace I needed in order to remember what happened in the first book. Plus, it really helped that there was a ton of action right off the bat. Gotta love me some superpowered people doing superpowered-people things. The plot of this book was just as compelling as the first book except for a few small areas that I found to either drag on or just simply not go the way I wanted them to. I won’t explain further because I don’t want to spoil anyone, but there was some slow parts towards the middle-endish of the book. It was nothing that would ever make me want to put the book down, it was just a little whiny and repetitive. I understand Mare has a lot on her plate, but I think her inner monologue got in the way a bit in a few scenes. Despite this small complaint, Mare’s character did grow a lot throughout this book. She went from a scared girl running for her life to someone who is the complete opposite of that. However, I wasn’t sure I liked her character development towards the very end of the book. I guess I’ll know for sure by the time the sequel comes out, but for right now, I’m on the fence. As for my main squeeze Cal, he actually became a very fleshed out character and not simply “the love interest” within these pages. Yes, some of his character’s motivations remain a mystery, but for the most part, readers get to see an in-depth side to someone who was just an attractive enigma before. I love him! Err… it. I love it. Even though sometimes I disagreed with his decisions and favored Mare’s, or vice versa, I loved witnessing their arguments because each had good points. No one in this series has all of the correct answers and I think that’s what makes the story so compelling. I think some of the side characters like Shade, Farley, and Mare’s family, really helped bring this idea home. There was also more technology and more powers in Glass Sword which helped shape the world-building aspect. I did find it odd however, that some of the newer superpowered people didn’t know how to use their powers when they’d lived with them their whole lives. That seems like a minor plot hole to me… And also, that ending! I really don’t know how I feel about Mare’s situation at the very last page of the book. It kind of weirded me out. Hopefully that situation wraps up quickly in book #3. Also, just in case you didn’t see my wrap-up post from Aveyard’s signing event, book #3 is going to have dual POVs! I’m conflicted over this because I suspect Cal’s POV will be added. I really don’t want this to be like Allegiant’s Four, however, I’m excited to potentially see into Cal’s brain and know his feelings for Mare, if he is the new POV. All in all, this book is an action-packed, mind-numbingly good addition to a series I can’t wait to finish. Let’s just hope I make it to 2017 before I die of anticipation. 4.5/5 stars *Note: I purchased a copy of this book for myself. This in no way affected my opinion/review.
