Glass Sword: A Memoir: 2 (Red Queen)

I am going to be completely honest with whoever's reading this review. This book deserves more than 5 stars. Seriously, the plot, the dialogues, the character build up was fabulously beautiful. From begining to end, it has you gripped. The interest never fades away and you just clutch your seat tighter with every moment passing. I billion percent recommend this book to you. The way of writing it was just amazing! Like, I would read some lines and sit there staring at it, close the book, breath, reopen and read it again. Just amazing. I've completely fallen in love with this series and now Victoria Aveyard is one of my favorite authors.

A nice follow up to the red queen. Pace drops in certain places. But it makes up for it with good characters.

This sequel brings the story of Red Queen to a whole other level, exploiting the divide between Reds and Silvers in a realistic manner -- new allegiances are made, old enemies gamble their power, queens and kings fall to their knees and some of them kneel with bleeding hearts. The hunt for newbloods is on and Mare has to save as many as she can while trying to patch up the deep scars Maven carved into her soul. And this is where the main big difference between these installments lays. Mare. The time spent with the Silvers molded her into something entirely unique -- Red and Silver alike, not just her blood and abilities, but her mentality as well. Mare, at her core, remains the heroine we've been introduced to in the first book. She's strong. She's badass. She's selfish around the edges. She's brave and she's cunning. But she's shackled by guilt. She's haunted by memories. She's weaving webs of lies and she's loosing herself into an abyss of heartache and, not surprisingly, fear. Who wouldn't after such treacherous events? Not to mention her trust issues that, even if they resemble paranoia sometimes, are good reasoned. . Glass Sword was an electrifying sequel. It was an emotional roller coaster, one careening towards an explosive final, riveting, surprising, vivid and glorious. It made me cry, smile in anticipation and crave more and more of this enthralling universe. Glass Sword is exactly what a sequel should be and I cannot wait to see what the dawn brings for these amazing characters.

Totally loved it. Product came to me in new condition. It isn’t expensive, And worth it. The story so far isn’t very good, But you need to read it. This sequel of the red queen series is a must have for the dystopian novel lovers.

PRICE: paid 179 CONDITION: pretty bad condition SELLER: SWETS (don't you dare ya buy from them) STORY: mesmerizing🥺

The book arrived in perfect condition and oh my goodness I cannot stop reading this series !!! the book was so good I finished it in one day !! Although it has some slow phases but still its a great read. Can't wait to read the third book in the series

Story is awesome and the book is in excellent condition.

I liked this book more than Book 1. And though there were moments a-plenty when I hated Mare and some of the other characters. Their deplorable acts make them human. This series is turning out to be a study of the darker side of human nature. And Victoria Aveyard's storytelling reveals just how observant she is of the minutae of being imperfect humans. The only thing I did not like about this book were the high-stakes scenes. They were written in a confused manner and so I couldn't picture them clearly in my head.

this book does look amazing. i'm still halfway through the previuos one, but then i'm getting to it soon. so so happy, this series is great. thanks a lot, see you :)

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.

Helt okej, ganska lätt språk och saknar djupare beskrivning kring karaktärerna

The book is really good. It's full of plot twists you would never expect. The turns in took and the ending took me of course by surprise. The pace is perfect. The slow places give us insight into characters minds. They help to connect with them. Then we have places full of actions and it's definitely big improvement in comparison to the "Red Queen". I feel like the writing really improved. On the top of all that we have unique world- full of magic, deep characters that are far from being flat, complicated love story, amazing friendship, death. While reading it I experience so many different emotions. If you read "Red Queen" and you liked it but you are not sure if you should read next book you should give it a try. Its more action-packed, the characters develop and it's a good page turner.
