Fun read! Th blending of fantasy elements and a dystopian future came across a little jerky in some areas, but it was a refreshing change of pace from you standard high fantasy story. 

I definitely see why Red Queen has maintained hype over the years. The main characters are interesting—though our FMC is definitely a little more whiney than I typically prefer—and the twists were great!
