Red Queen by Victoria Aveyard
4.0
2015 review: Every bit as awesome as the reviews and hypes made it out to be! The ending? Oh. My. God. I didn't see it coming! And just the story in general - it's an amazing concept, filled with the classic tropes of dystopia that I love so much!
2016 review: It was very interesting to read this after having read the prequels beforehand for the first time. I knew a bit more about some of the characters and therefore I've seen some of their motivations and who they are. Elara. Farley. Julian. Tiberius the Sixth. All of them.
Having read this book again well after the hype that surrounded this book last year, I can still appreciate this story. In fact, I think I liked it more this time round. I've learned to understand Aveyard's world and the story she wants to unfold. I love the dynamics and the relationships within this world. I enjoy this story immensely. I'm sure when I pick up "Glass Sword" tomorrow, I'll be saying the same.
Although within the pages of this book are some quite distinctive YA Fantasy/Dystopia-esque, that are sometimes overused, overhyped and seem to meld each series of its kind into one entity, to me, there is something about "Red Queen" that makes it stand out in its own from others of its kind. I enjoyed it much better than the "Hunger Games" series.
