If there’s one thing Mare Barrow knows, it’s that she’s different. 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? 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.Define Appertaining To Books Glass Sword (Red Queen #2)

Basically MockingjayAfter I finished Red Queen , I suspected there would be a large problem with the sequel: too many characters and details. I was correct that I wouldn't remember them because the author just launches into the story here without as much as a previously on to refresh the audience with the story and cast. This works against the story from the very beginning, because unless the reader just finished the first book, it's all a very confusing game of catch up.Adding to thatIf I am a sword, I am a sword made of glass, and I feel myself beginning to shatter. I would be more than willing to be the one who shatters you and stomps on your pieces, insufferable lightning girl!I swear I have no idea how I managed to finish Glass Sword. I'm not saying this because I found the plot slow like I read on many reviews, or because it suffered from second-book-syndrome, but because for the first time in my life I wanted to physically hurt the heroine with such a seething
JUST. I CANT. YES. This book. Bless this book!!!!! That ending. Damn. I can't even type in complete sentences after reading Glass Sword (even though I just did).....
Careful, there! Unavoidable spoilers from book #1. Attend to your own fate, Mare Barrow.And that is?To rise. And rise alone. As I sat wallowing in self-pity, speechless, angry at this cruel world, I had a revelation -- Victoria Aveyard enjoys being an evil mastermind. She enjoys making me laugh, fall in love with countless characters at the same time and then drown into an endless puddle of my own tears. And she does it with such glorious creativity that, even though my heart is breaking into
YES YES YES..One of the best sequels...Not going to spoil it.. but yes!
And I am revealed for exactly what I am - a particularly stupid fish, moving from hook to hook, never learning my lesson. ^This is a pretty good summary of the whole book.I know some people will not like that I tried Glass Sword after being really disappointed with Red Queen, but I've had a lot of luck with sequels lately. My dislike for first books like Cinder and The Winner's Curse turned into love for the later books in the series. So I thought I'd give Aveyard a second chance.No disrespect
rounding up my rating because im in a good mood and still feeling that christmas cheer, but there are only so many rebel military tactics and kingdom overthrow attempts i can read before a book becomes a snooze fest. sigh. this isnt as captivating as the red queen (because of the aforementioned issues with boredom) but, because of that ending, i have my fingers crossed that the story can be redeemed in the next book. maybe this is just an unfortunate case of a sophomore slump, so im not giving
