Le doy un 3.5 en realidad. La historia de Evangeline y Corianne fueron mis fav, aunque debo decir que no había necesidad de este libro, son cosas que pudieron meterse en los anteriores, pero bueno.
Estuvo entretenido, pero no sé qué tanto vale la pena.

Pd. Odio que la historia de Maven fuera tan corta.

omg i finally finished the red queen series, im going to miss them. I think after war storm we deserved a better ending, i liked this one, Mare and Cal end happily together and they have kids <3. I liked every story, but my favorites were Queen Song and Fire Light.

at first it was pretty boring, but when we started reading abou the calore kings and queens it became more easy, they were really entretaining people.


QUEEN SONG ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐/5
omg Julian gives her books for her birthday <33, he gives her a diary <3. I feel so bad for her, and ugh i hate her father, and Jessamine, she is so annoying. oh no Coriane thinks she is going to be alone forever. Her uncle dies, she is so sad because she think Julian will leave her. She meets the king, AGH Elara is there, she reads Coriane mind, she doesnt notice omg its so creepy. Then she controls her wtf, atleast she meets the prince, i like him.

She keeps seeing him. They go to a theather, and she meets robert, i like him <3. omgg Sara tells her its probable Tiberias wants to be with her. She starts having dinners with Robert and Anabel <333. He asks her to marry him, she says yes. i feel bad for her she thinks she doesnt deserve to be with him.

The king dies, Robert dies, then Jessamine and her father die. And omg Elara has been killing her fetus, OMFG WHAT. She makes Elara confess and she says she hasnt done anything since her wedding, and i dont fucking believe her.

She has Cal <333, im glad she finds happiness in him <3. But she enters in depression, she thinks nobody wants her, she is mad that with her son she still isnt happy, and k*lls herself, i feel so bad for her. At the end we see Elara, agh i knew that bitch was behind this, she made Elara go crazy and do that.



STEEL SCARS ⭐⭐⭐/5
at first it was really confusing. But, i started understanding what was going on like 30 pages in. The pov form Farley was easy to read because i like her, but the messages were too confusing for me.

She meets Shade <333. Someone tells her to retire, but she doesnt do it and lies omg im scared for her. Shade teleports them and its really funny, he doesnt tell her. Her Dad comes, she asks more time.

Shade tells her he has powers, she throws up and she is so confused. But she understands after all. He swears loyalty ti the scarlet guard, after Farley tells him her name <3333

She meets Mare <3, im glad she accepted to help her. Shade escapes, and they see Mare in the palace when she shows her powers, poor Shade he is so scared she died, and it breaks my heart when he realizes she is special, he just wants to save her.



THE WORLD BEHIND ⭐⭐⭐⭐/5
as always i was confused at first lol. I like the characters, it's an interesting story, It's weird seeing Mare story from a diferent pov, like the guy thought she was with Maven because she wanted wtf.

I like the princess, i feel bad for her, i hate Orrian, he tried to kill a child, Im glad she could save him. She is such a badass. I love to see them fall in love, i feel so bad for her Orrian is awful, and she has always know she would have to marry him, its so unfair.

OMG ASH REALLY IS IN LOVE. In the fight, Lyrissa pretends she died, and poor Ash. But then she finds them in a bar, and she plays with them <3333.



IRON HEART ⭐⭐⭐/5
Evangeline, i missed her. I feel so bad for her, she feels SO guilty because she let her father die. Also, she and Elane fight, because she doesnt want to go back and see her mother.

im glad she accepted, she deserves to be happy. She quits her title :). We see Cal <3

she talks with her mother and god I hate her, she is so annoying, she blames Eve. I love Evangeline, she leaves and finally can be happy



FIRE LIGHT ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐/5
omg I'm glad Mare had a rest, I'm so sorry for her, she feels guilty for Maven. She is back and meets with Kilorn :D. OMG Cal, i missed him, he was so hurt by Mare words. He sees her in the balcon and Mare sees him too, but THEY DONT TALK TO EACH OTHER AHHHHH.

They see each other in the reunion <3333, Farley helps Mare calm down. They are so cute, they are both so nervous. Cal forces himself to not look at her, he is even happy when she is discussing with him because they are talking, i love them.

Evangeline is her bodyguard, i love them, and i love their "friendship", Eve thinks Mare deserves to be happy, so she tries so hard to get her with Cal. She makes her go to the bar where Cal is. They talk, and at first its kinda akward but then they get more comfortable, its a sad but happy conversation, they have time to heal. They kiss <3333. They are going together <333, its been time and now they are together <3333333



FAREWELL ⭐⭐⭐⭐/5
Its really sad, i didnt cry but i feel sorry for both of them, and Mare of course. I dont know what to say, its unfair how they have been treated, they did not deserve that, and now Mare and Cal will live with guilt the rest of their lives. It hurts to see Cal in Maven grave, and how Mare didnt want to go.

In the good part, we can see that in the future, Cal and Mare have children <333, Kilorn becomes the premier <3, Cal is elected as a blood speaker for the newbloods, etc. Im glad they got their happy ending.

I was so into this at the beginning when it was talking about the timeline of how the different countries came to be (I’m a sucker for climate disaster) but then most of the stories didn’t have anything to do with that! :(

I think I would have liked this more if I read it before I finished the series. I was also listening on audio and didn't love the first male narrator.
