Red Queen Collector's Edition

The #1 New York Times bestselling series! Will her power save her or condemn her? The first two novels in the series, plus two prequel novellas, are collected here, perfect for fans of the series, and those who want to find out what all the hype is about: Red Queen: USA Today calls Victoria Aveyard's debut novel "a sizzling, imaginative thriller, where romance and revolution collide, where power and justice duel." Mare Barrow's world is divided by blood—those with common, Red blood serve the Silver- blooded elite, who are gifted with superhuman abilities. Mare is a Red, scraping by as a thief, until, by a twist of fate, she discovers an ability all her own. One wrong move can lead to her death, but in the dangerous game she plays, the only certainty is betrayal. Glass Sword: The hotly anticipated sequel 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. Queen Song: In this prequel novella, Queen Coriane, first wife of King Tiberias, keeps a secret diary—how else can she ensure that no one at the palace will use her thoughts against her? Coriane recounts her heady courtship with the crown prince, the birth of a new prince, Cal, and the potentially deadly challenges that lay ahead for her in royal life. Steel Scars: In this second prequel novella, Captain Farley exchanges coded transmissions with the resistance as she travels the land, recruiting for her first attempt at an attack on the capital. She was raised to be strong, but planting the seeds of rebellion in Norta is a tougher job than expected—until she stumbles upon a connection that may prove to be the key to the entire operation: Mare Barrow. And don’t miss Broken Throne: A Red Queen Collection, featuring three brand-new novellas and other exclusive content, coming in April!

** spoiler alert **
           I’m going to start off by saying, I liked this book.
A young heroine who starts off as a peasant only to discover accidentally that she has powers and gets elevated to a higher status. There’s action and betrayal, fighting of the classes. It is a textbook YA dystopian book which I love, obviously. There’s nothing wrong with saying that if you loved Hunger Games, Graceling or other YA dystopians, you’ll most likely about this story.
But..
I was bored. Mare is cool but I couldn’t connect with her character. The relationships she formed with the Silvers felt so rushed and like there was no lead up to them at all. It was just like, boom, she loves Cal. Boom, she loves Maven. Boom, she befriended Jurian. It seems like most of the relationship building was done behind the scenes because she’d only had very few, casual encounters with Cal before suddenly they’re kissing? Then Maven, she barely mentions him being friendly to her before she’s supposedly into him. I didn’t mind that the focus was mainly on the mission but I feel like there need to be more buildup to those friendships/relationships.
Maven being a traitor makes so much sense but is also equally frustrating. I started to guess at that towards the beginning so it didn’t shock me, but it does irritate me. I’m going to assume he doesn’t stay evil since there’s 3 more books, I’m assuming he comes around but… how is definitely the question.
⭐️⭐️⭐️ because it was a good story, I want to read more, but I just didn’t love it.

I may be basic, but I loved it. I love the tropes. It was well done. The writing was easy to read but also beautiful. And I am in love with the characters and how twisted and morally grey most of them are.

4.25 Well! That was twisty and fun! Looks like I have another series to obsess over. 😏
