The Glass Sword by Victoria Aveyard.
The second part of 'Red Queen' quadrilogy. By now this book series intrigued me very much, they're one of the most intensest series I've read and I only read 2 out of 4 hoping for more chaos for the next ones. By each following installement, this series is becoming more harsh, dark and complicated. My expectations weren't as high as I've had for the first book, but it turned out that I was wrong. I liked this one a little more than the first, because of its actions, the darkness and more importantly the intensity in it.
Victoria writes her books very beautifuly,the details of the sceneries and etc. are described incredibly. This isn't a series that you can quickly read and finish it in a short time. My average reading time is maximum 3 days no matter how long it is, however 'Glass Sword' took a great amount of my time to complete it. These are the kind of books that thrives for concentration and one's mind have to be fully focused on the story.
So many interesting things happened in it, a lot of tragedy, unexpected moments (not necesarilly plottwists), but the romance was not as much whatsoever, surprisingly that didn't bother me at all.
Each character were unique on their own, no matter how stupid, annoying, fierce or likable they are. I liked them all equally, but not loved.
One of the things I also love about book endings besides 'Happily ever after' are cliffhangers, I always thrive for more in books and obvious ending don't give me satisfaction.
In total, I liked the second book of RQ very much.
4 out of 5 stars.
