Glass Sword by Victoria Aveyard

1.0

Nothing happened in this book. Usually a dystopia that meanders as much as this one would raise moral issues and reveal human nature in some way, but not this one. No, it's all about how dark and tortured and alone our main protagonist is, in a way that does not show, but tells over and over again by rubbing it into your face while shouting louder every time you roll your eyes at how melodramatic Mare is.

Spoiler

And now she's been kidnapped I can only imagine how much more time she'll have in the next book to lament who she's supposedly become and how much she's changed when there's no pesky 'saving newbloods' and 'planning a revolution' bullshit to get in her whiny way. Bonus points for how much she's going to moan about how conflicted she is over Maven because she loves him but not the real him, and all that jazz that we were treated to many times over in this book already.
