Very much hunger games vibes of the type of world. There are people with silver blood who are known to have abilities and they are the monarchy. Revolution is coming and the main character goes through a lot to try to help. But she doesnât always know if she is trusting the right people.Â
Graphic: Blood, Mass/school shootings, and War

This book is generally fine. Itâs engaging enough to be a light read, but I donât find myself itching to pick up the next one.Â
Mare is interesting as a character, and I hope that the next books delves deeper into what her powers truly are and their origins. Cal seems somewhat flat as a character to me. All I got was âloyal military sonâ from him. Maven was more interesting and the twist at the end was well done and adds intrigue to his character. The supporting cast was mostly forgettable. I found myself having to actively think about who someone was when a characters name was mentioned.Â
I will keep reading at least the next book in this series to see how it goes. The writing style felt a little slow, but it may have just been due to the need for exposition and world building. Hopefully it picks up more.
